Core Concepts
Burn Mechanism
How the $PYRE burn creates deflationary pressure and value.
What is Token Burning?
Token burning is the process of permanently removing tokens from circulation. In PYRE, 30% of every API payment is burned by sending it to a null address that no one can access.
30%
of every payment is burned forever
Why Burn Tokens?
📉 Reduces Supply
Every burn permanently decreases total supply, creating scarcity over time.
📈 Increases Scarcity
As supply decreases, remaining tokens become more scarce.
💎 Ties Utility to Value
More API usage = more burns = more deflation. Utility drives value.
🔒 Permanent & Irreversible
Burned tokens can never be recovered. The burn is final.
How Burning Works
When you make an API call:
1
You pay 100 $PYRE for an API call
2
30 $PYRE sent to burn address
Permanently removed from supply
3
70 $PYRE distributed
50% provider, 15% holders, 5% treasury
Verify Burns On-Chain
All burns are transparent and verifiable on the Solana blockchain. Every API payment includes a transaction hash that you can verify on Solscan.
// Every API response includes payment info
{
"success": true,
"data": { ... },
"_payment": {
"amount": 100,
"burned": 30,
"txHash": "5KtP3Jx..." // Verify this on Solscan
}
