🔥 Deflationary Mechanism
Token Burn Strategy
GoChapaa implements a deflationary token model through quarterly token burns:
Burn Triggers
- Transaction Volume: 2% of quarterly transaction fees
- Platform Revenue: 1% of quarterly platform revenue
- Staking Rewards: 0.5% of quarterly staking rewards
- Partnership Fees: 1% of quarterly partnership revenue
Burn Calculation
Quarterly Burn = (Transaction Fees × 2%) + (Platform Revenue × 1%) + (Staking Rewards × 0.5%) + (Partnership Fees × 1%)
Maximum Burn Cap
- Maximum 50% of total supply can be burned
- Minimum 290M GOC will always remain in circulation
- Burn events are publicly announced and verifiable on-chain
Burn Schedule Example
| Year | Quarterly Burn (Est.) | Annual Burn | Remaining Supply |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2M GOC | 8M GOC | 572M GOC |
| 2 | 5M GOC | 20M GOC | 552M GOC |
| 3 | 10M GOC | 40M GOC | 512M GOC |
| 4 | 15M GOC | 60M GOC | 452M GOC |
| 5 | 20M GOC | 80M GOC | 372M GOC |
