BurnBack Feature
Long-Term Sustainability: Deflationary burning, incentivized staking, and a hard-capped token supply of 21 million BID (paying tribute to Bitcoin's proven model) reinforce BidCoin’s staying power.
10.1 Mechanics
Flat 5% Return on Burned BID: When users burn BID tokens (e.g., for free bids during FOMO), they receive 5% of those tokens back.
Deflationary Benefit: 100 % of the burned tokens are permanently removed from circulation.
10.2 Deflationary Incentive
Reduced Supply: As tokens are burned, total BID supply constricts, supporting long-term token value.
Enhanced Engagement: Users have a direct incentive to burn tokens for free bids—using fewer tokens while fueling competition.
10.3 Strategic Depth
Pre-Reserve: Users accumulate BID tokens (2X reward) that can later be burned strategically.
FOMO Mode: With 1X rewards, the advantage of burning tokens becomes critical for getting free bids in last-minute battles.
In FOMO mode, bidders can burn their BID tokens to obtain free bids. As an added incentive.
10.4 Summary
5% Return on Burned Tokens: Users receive 5% of their burned tokens back, effectively reducing net token consumption while still promoting deflation.
Deflationary Mechanic: Since 100% of the burned tokens are permanently removed from circulation, the overall supply diminishes over time, contributing to long-term token scarcity. Combined with staking rewards, which further incentivizes holding tokens, this deflationary mechanism aims to create a sustainable and valuable ecosystem.
