Burn Mechanism – Deflationary Token Supply (The 7-7-7 Plan)

Z4G has a built-in deflationary mechanism to reduce the token supply over time, driving scarcity and value for holders. We call it the 7-7-7 Burn Plan, a nod to our theme of “7” as a number of completeness and perfection. The ultimate goal is to dramatically cut down supply in stages, as the project grows, to ensure Z4G’s price can increase organically and reflect its true utility. Here’s how it works:

• Initial Burn Target: We plan to eventually reduce the circulating supply to 777,000,000 (777 million) Z4G through scheduled burns. This is the first major milestone. Hitting this would already eliminate 97% of the total 25 billion supply.
• Community-Driven Burn Stages: After reaching 777 million, the DAO can vote on further reducing the supply in the following stages:
  • From 777 million down to 77,000,000 (77 million).
  • Next down to 7,000,000 (7 million).
  • Then to 777,000.
  • Further to 77,000.
  • Then 7,000.
  • And a final burn down to 777 tokens – if the community chooses to go to the extreme end goal.

  Each stage would only proceed if the community agrees it’s beneficial. This stepwise approach gives flexibility – the community might decide, for instance, that stopping at 7,000 or 77,000 tokens is optimal for liquidity or functionality reasons. No further reduction below 777 will ever occur – that’s the hard floor.

• Burn Triggers: Burns will be triggered by specific conditions – some automatic, some via proposals:
  • Automatic Transaction Burns: Every transaction of Z4G will carry a small burn fee (for example, 0.5% of each transfer might be sent to a burn address). This means just by using the token, holders contribute to lowering supply. The burn address is a verifiable “black hole” (like 0x000...dead) – tokens sent there are gone forever.
  • Revenue-Powered Burns: A portion of HyperPod mining profits (10–25%) will periodically be used to buy back Z4G from the market and burn it. Using real revenue to burn tokens adds true value – it’s like the project reinvests profits to reward everyone. This will happen continuously (for example, monthly buyback burns) as well as during special events.
  • Milestone Burn Events: At major project milestones (like reaching the presale cap, launching a new HyperPod, or opening a new sanctuary), we’ll celebrate by conducting significant burn events. For example, once the presale concludes and if we hit our funding goal, we will burn any leftover tokens allocated for presale over the next 12 months in even, scheduled tranches. Similarly, the DAO may vote to burn portions of reserves if they’re no longer needed and no longer serve the long-term health of the ecosystem.
• Transparency: All burn events will be announced and viewable on the blockchain. We’ll maintain a Burn Tracker page on the site showing progress towards each stage (like a progress bar from 25B down to 777). Community members can verify each burn transaction ID. Transparency is key because burn mechanisms are often abused by projects for hype; in Z4G, it’s a fundamental, verifiable part of tokenomics.
• Rationale: This aggressive burn strategy ensures that as Z4G’s ecosystem expands (and demand for the token grows for staking, governance, and utility in sanctuaries), the supply is contracting. Basic economics of supply and demand suggest this should increase token value over time if the project is successful. It also creates exciting milestones for the community to rally around. Few projects have attempted to target such a low final supply – it’s an audacious plan, but with our revenue generation and community commitment, it’s achievable.

In essence, the Z4G burn mechanism aligns with our ethos: give more value to our community and commit to the long haul. Just as we burn away the tokens to reveal a rarer gem, we aim to burn away cynicism in crypto to reveal hope and genuine purpose.
