# 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.
