# Burning

To reduce inflationary pressure on the value of the $CITRO token, the platform will decrease the total number of available tokens through a burn mechanism.

The burning will occur on a <mark style="color:blue;">**quarterly basis**</mark>. The burn amount will <mark style="color:blue;">**be calculated based on the platform's net profit and will account for 15% of this profit**</mark>. The process will be conducted in the form of a pure burn: tokens from the net profit are sent to a special contract, making them unavailable for further use.

Each burn event will be publicly announced through the platform’s official communication channels, and detailed reports, including the number of tokens burned, transaction details, and the updated circulating supply of $CITRO tokens, will be published after each event.
