# Mint-and-Burn Equilibrium

The amount of burned tokens will be removed from the totalSupply. This ensures that tokens spent within the ecosystem are removed and the empty space in the maxSupply is made available for future rewards, maintaining token circulation and incentivizing ongoing participation. Burns move the daily emission back up the supply curve, allowing more tokens to be emitted on a daily basis. Eventually, the mint and burn functions should achieve equilibrium.
