Burn Mechanism

OpenSource implements automatic token burns funded by platform revenue and contributor rewards reserve, creating deflationary pressure through platform activity.

How It Works

Burn Events

  • 1,000 $OS burned per repository creation

  • 500 $OS burned per code commit

  • Burns funded from platform revenue and contributor rewards reserve

  • Permanent removal from circulation

Funding Sources

Revenue-Based Burns

  • Platform fees converted to $OS for burns

  • Infrastructure service payments allocated to burn pool

  • Premium feature subscriptions contribute to burns

Reserve Allocation

  • Portion of contributor rewards reserve designated for burns

  • Ensures sustainability without impacting user tokens

  • Transparent on-chain tracking

Economic Model

Platform activity drives token burns. Higher usage creates more burns, reducing supply while revenue streams ensure sustainable funding. The mechanism scales naturally with ecosystem growth.
