# The Burning Pit

The burning Pit consumes 1.0 percent of all $CYW traded. The more that is traded, the more that is added to the fire, causing the fire pit to grow in size, larger and larger through self-fulfilling Auto-Compounding, reducing the circulating supply and maintaining the Cyber World protocol stable.

Another advantage of an everlasting burn of circulating supply is that the deflationary nature of it equates to a higher value of each $CYW token, thus increasing individual value. In simpler terms, the $CYW token is burned periodically to prevent unmanageable token supply in the market, and to offset any risk that arise from positive rebase printing.
