# The Bonfire

To ensure the long-term sustainability of the protocol and good passive revenues for node holders, we will proceed to the burning of tokens and buy back when the price is low.

1% from buy and 1% sell of all $YBX traded are burnt in **The Bonfire** (send to a dead wallet). The more that is traded, the more get put into the fire causing the bonfire to grow in size, larger and larger through self fulfilling Auto-Compounding, reducing the circulating supply and keeping the YieldBox protocol stable.

The other benefit to an everlasting burn of circulating supply is that due to the deflationary nature of it, equates to a higher value of each $YBX token, therefore increasing the individual value.
