Today sees the launch of the weekly necBurn auctions where the DeversiFi exchange uses up to 50% of trading fee revenue to buy back and burn Nectar tokens. This marks an important value-creating shift in Nectar tokenomics, taking it from an inflationary to a deflationary model, through the weekly reduction of supply. Read on to learn about the finer details, mechanics and more of necBurn.
* NEC tokenomics are highly experimental. DeversiFi reserves the right to change its policy around buying NEC using its trading fees, or any other benefit DeversiFi provides to NEC holders, at any time in the future.
We originally detailed our exciting plans for Nectar 2.0 in the release of the new Nectar whitepaper visible here. Along with the successful launch of Nectar DAO (now open for proposals and governance), we are excited to introduce another crucial cornerstone of the new Nectar ecosystem — Nectar Burn.
Nectar Burn will add another layer of utility to Nectar by giving holders an additional way to sell their holdings at a specified price whilst also serving to increase value by reducing supply on a weekly basis, coupled with increased demand from Nectar’s other utilities (fee discounts, voting rights).
How Does necBurn Work?
Once a week, up 50% of trading fee revenues collected by DeversiFi will be used to purchase Nectar tokens via an open and transparent on-chain auction mechanism. Purchased NEC will then be burnt (permanently destroyed).
The rate at which NEC is burnt and the amount of trading fee revenue used will be calculated based on the breakdown below:
Put in words, DeversiFi will use 10% of trading fee revenue to buy NEC during periods where weekly volume is between 100k USD and 1m USD, 20% when between 1m USD and 10m USD and so on until the maximum 50% is used when the weekly volume is between 100m USD and 1b USD.
Although initial burnings are likely to be small, over time as DeversiFi exchange trading volumes grow, a higher and higher percentage of revenues will be pledged to the weekly auctions.
