# Token Burns

## Token Burns

Token burns are part of Zylo’s long-term deflationary model.

A token burn permanently removes a specific amount of $ZYLO from circulation by sending it to a burn address. This reduces the available supply and helps support a healthier token economy over time.

### Why Burns Matter

Burns are designed to make the token economy more sustainable by reducing unused or excess supply.

They do not replace product utility. Zylo’s core value comes from its role across the ecosystem: games, trading, services, staking, marketplace activity, partner integrations, and future ecosystem products.

Burns are an additional mechanism that helps align supply with real ecosystem growth.
