If you’ve survived a couple of crypto cycles, you’ve probably seen this movie:

…and then nothing changes except a few tweets and a slightly smaller treasury wallet.

We don’t want COINDEPO to be that kind of “deflationary” token. So here’s how our buyback & burn is actually designed to work, in plain language.

# 1. Where the buyback money comes from

We don’t burn random tokens from the treasury and call it “value”. For COINDEPO, the burn is tied to real business activity:

* The platform earns **net profit** from its core operations (over‑collateralized lending, spreads, etc.).
* **Up to 20%** of that net profit is allocated to buy back COINDEPO tokens from the **open market**.
* Those tokens are then sent to a burn address and permanently removed from supply.

**The Rule:** No revenue → no buyback → no burn. That’s the whole point: it follows the health of the business, not the marketing calendar.

# 2. How often it happens

The current design is:

* **Frequency:** Recurring basis (planned quarterly).
* **Volume:** The exact amount depends on actual net profit, not on whatever number looks good in a tweet.
* **Goal:** Over time, if the platform keeps generating profit, this mechanism targets reducing **up to 50% of total supply**.

**Important nuance:** this is not going to be some single “mega burn”. It’s a series of small, repeatable reductions tied to actual usage. Slow, boring, and ideally permanent.

# 3. What we deliberately DON'T do

We are refusing to play the usual games:

❌ Treasury Theater: Burning chunks of our own allocation just to announce “X% supply burned!!!”. That doesn’t involve any real market buying, so it’s mostly cosmetic.

❌ Emissions‑then‑burn: Printing a ton of tokens, handing them out, and then trying to impress people by burning part of the oversupply later.

❌ Random Promo Burns: “If this tweet gets 1,000 likes, we’ll burn Y tokens”. That’s not tokenomics, that’s engagement farming.

If a burn doesn’t cost the protocol anything and doesn’t touch real cashflow, it’s probably for social media, not for holders.

# 4. What this means for holders

The buyback & burn mechanism is:

1. **Slow** (tied to real profit, not fantasy numbers).
2. **Variable** (profits change with market conditions).
3. **Cumulative** (each period removes supply and never adds it back).

It does not guarantee price action. It does create ongoing demand via buybacks and a structurally shrinking supply—but only if the platform keeps working and earning.

**Utility + real revenue + slow deflation is the design goal.** Not “instant moon because we pressed the burn button”.
