Burn Scenarios

🔥 When Tokens Burn

Permanent Burns Occur When:

  1. Wrong Signals
  2. 100% of stake burned
  3. Failed Milestones
  4. All belief signals burned
  5. Abandoned Ventures
  6. Founder stakes burned
  7. Penalty Violations
  8. Bad behavior fines
  9. Expired Options
  10. Unused allocations

Burn Impact:

  • Supply Reduction: Permanently removes tokens from circulation
  • Scarcity Increase: Remaining tokens become more valuable
  • Holder Benefit: All token holders benefit from reduced supply
  • Deflationary Pressure: Creates natural price support

Example: If 1% of supply burns, remaining tokens gain ~1% in scarcity value
