Burn Mechanism
Burn Mechanism
Overview
The $XIO Burn Mechanism is a critical component of the tokenomics model designed to reduce the circulating supply of $XIO tokens over time, thus increasing scarcity and potentially driving up the value of the token. The burn process leverages profits generated from various platform activities, ensuring long-term sustainability and benefits for $XIO holders.
How It Works
The burn mechanism operates on a quarterly cycle and involves using a portion of the platform’s profits to purchase $XIO tokens from the market and burn them. This process will continue until 50% of the total supply has been burned.
Revenue Sources for Burns:
Trading Fee Rebates: A third of the platform's trading fee rebate profits are allocated towards token burns.
Swaps & DeFi Automation Fees: Profits from swaps and DeFi automation trigger fees are also used for buying back $XIO.
DEX Fees: Fees generated from the proprietary XIO decentralized exchange (DEX) contribute to the buyback and burn process.
Copy Trading Fees: Fees earned from the automated copy trading system are also part of the burn allocation.
Quarterly Burn Cycle
The burn mechanism follows a structured quarterly process:
Profit Calculation: The platform calculates the total trading rebate profits and additional fee income at the end of each quarter.
Burn Allocation: One-third of the total profit is earmarked for token buybacks.
Token Buyback: $XIO tokens are purchased from the open market using the allocated funds.
Burn Event: The purchased tokens are permanently removed from circulation via a burn, reducing the total supply.
Note: This process will repeat every quarter until the platform has burned 50% of the original total supply of $XIO tokens.
Impact on Token Value
As the supply of $XIO decreases through regular burns, the token’s scarcity increases. This deflationary mechanism can create upward pressure on the token’s value over time, benefiting long-term holders and active participants in the ecosystem.
“By reducing the total supply through systematic burns, we aim to create a more sustainable and valuable token economy for all $XIO holders.” — XIO Team
Example Burn Calculation
Based on the platform’s projected monthly trading volume of $18 billion and a rebate rate of 0.01225%, the estimated quarterly burn would be:
Monthly Rebate Profits: $2,205,000 = $18b * 0.01225%
Monthly Burn Pool: $734,296 = 33.33% of $2,205,000
Estimated Quarterly Burn: $2.94 million in $XIO tokens bought back and burned every quarter.
