🔥Burn & Supply Management

Deflation is not a slogan in SquareStrategy — it’s a mathematical process embedded in the ERC-1001 protocol. Every cycle removes NFTs permanently from circulation, creating verifiable scarcity and strengthening the remaining supply.


⚙️ 1 The Burn Flow

At each trade, 2 % of royalties are routed into the Burn Flow. When this balance reaches its threshold, the Burn Module executes:

  1. Buy Strategy NFTs from open markets at market price.

  2. Send them to the Null Address (0x00…dead) for permanent removal.

  3. Emit on-chain events so burns are publicly auditable.

📉 2 Supply Evolution Visual

A simplified supply-over-time curve you can later recreate in Figma or GitBook’s chart block:

  Burn Events (buy + send to null)

The line bends gently downward — a living visual of scarcity.


🧮 3 Mathematical Model

Let:

  • S₀ = initial Strategy supply

  • Bₜ = burns executed up to time t Then:

St=S0−BtS_t = S_0 - B_tSt​=S0​−Bt​

The burn frequency f depends on market volume V:

f∝Vf \propto Vf∝V

The greater the volume, the faster deflation accelerates — a self-balancing feedback loop between liquidity and scarcity.


🔍 4 On-Chain Verification

Every burn emits:

event BurnEvent(
    address indexed collection,
    uint256 tokenId,
    uint256 price,
    uint256 timestamp
);

Explorers and dashboards can track:

  • Total supply remaining

  • Cumulative burn value (ETH spent on buybacks)

  • Average burn frequency

Transparency turns scarcity into data — visible, verifiable, unforgeable.


🧠 5 Behavioral Impact

  • Holders: see their asset pool shrinking → confidence rises.

  • Buyers: anticipate scarcity → secondary demand strengthens.

  • Investors: quantify deflation → easier valuation models.

Each burn is a signal of health — not a manual gesture but a systemic pulse.


🔒 6 Safety Mechanisms

  • Rate Limiter: prevents over-burn if volume spikes.

  • Pausable Emergency Switch: temporary halt during anomalies or audit.

  • Upgrade-Safe Storage: ensures supply data persists through proxy updates.

No single actor can initiate unscheduled burns; only protocol-driven events trigger them.


🧩 7 Summary

  • 2 % of each trade funds deflation.

  • Burns occur automatically when conditions are met.

  • All actions are logged and auditable.

  • Scarcity is mathematical, not marketing.

SquareStrategy’s ERC-1001 standard turns royalties into a self-verifying deflation engine — a market that not only moves but reduces its own weight with every motion.
