Burn Mechanics

Every match makes $POP scarcer. Rake burns, penalties, in-app features reduce supply over time.

How Burns Work

$POP is deflationary by design. Tokens are removed from circulation in two main ways:

Match Rake Burns →	40% of every rake is bought back and burned.
Unstaking Penalties →	Early exit penalties are burned 100%.

---

Why Burns Matter

Burns reduce circulating supply. Over time, fewer $POP tokens exist while demand for gameplay, staking, and boosts continues. This creates natural scarcity.

• Deflationary Supply → Fixed at 100M, only goes down.

• Player-Driven → More matches = more burns.

• Visible → All burns are tracked and verifiable on-chain.

PoP ties token value directly to player activity. More players = more burns.

Burn Examples

Worked Example:

Match Pot = $20
Rake = $2
Burn = $0.80 (40% of rake)

---

Penalty Example:
Player unstakes early → 500 $POP burned immediately.

---

Transparency

Burns aren’t hidden. They’re:

• Manually executed on-chain from time to time.

• Visible in the Burn Feed in-app.

• Aggregated in a lifetime burn counter.
