Deflationary Engine
The $EITHER deflationary engine operates across five mechanisms. All are funded by real platform revenue. Not by token allocation, treasury discretion, or token tax.
Revenue Sources for Burns and Buybacks
To avoid ambiguity, the following platform revenue streams explicitly fund the deflationary engine:
Subscription fees (fiat, USDC, and $EITHER)
Credit purchases across all payment methods
Marketplace fees (20% platform fee on all transactions)
Launchpad fees on every bonding curve token launch
API usage fees
