This page explains how JPT is burned, where burns originate, and why deflation is structurally tied to ecosystem growth.

JPT incorporates multiple burn mechanisms designed to reduce circulating supply over time as platform usage increases. Rather than relying on artificial scarcity or discretionary interventions, burns are directly linked to economic activity, utility usage, and predefined protocol rules.

Burn Mechanisms (TLDR)

JPT burns come from six independent sources. Each source is tied to organic activity usage.

  1. Sell-tax burns (1.5%) For the first 12 months, sells pay a 3% tax. The 1.5% buyback portion is accumulated as ETH, used to market-buy JPT weekly (Fri 12:00 UTC), then burned. The remaining 1.5% goes to treasury/liquidity.

  2. Marketplace listing fees (1%) 100% of the listing fee is burned.

  3. Special tournament entries (100%) 100% of entry fees are burned.

  4. Unstaking penalties (2%) Unstaking that violates the lock period triggers 2% burn.

  5. Direct utility burns (1%) 1% marketplace fee stands behind any purchases.

  6. Community burns Periodic community-voted burns.

Design Rationale

Burn mechanisms serve three core objectives within the JPT token economy:

  1. Long-term scarcity Permanently removing tokens reinforces the fixed-supply design.

  2. Usage-linked deflation Burn activity increases as platform participation grows.

  3. Market stability Burns counterbalance unlocks and circulation growth.

Most burns are automatic. They are embedded in the platform’s economic flows.

Cumulative Deflation Impact

The burn mechanisms below are designed to remove an estimated 4% to 22% of total supply over a three-year period, depending on platform growth and user activity.

Key characteristics:

  • Burns scale with usage

  • No fixed burn quotas

  • No reliance on discretionary actions

Actual burn rates are fully transparent and verifiable on-chain.


Burn Sources

Each mechanism below lists the trigger, the burn rule, and a directional 3-year estimate.

Estimates are ranges over 3 years. They are not guarantees.

1) Sell-tax buybacks (1.5%)

During the first 12 months after launch, a 3% sell tax is applied to JPT market sales.

Sell tax structure (total: 3%)

  • 1.5% β†’ buyback & burn

  • 1.0% β†’ treasury

  • 0.5% β†’ liquidity

How the buyback runs

  • Weekly: Friday at 12:00 UTC

  • The buyback portion (1.5%) is used to market-buy JPT.

  • Purchased tokens are burned immediately.

This mechanism helps mitigate early volatility while contributing to early-stage deflation.

Estimated burn: 10M–30M JPT

2) Marketplace listing fee (1%)

Marketplace listings carry a 1% fee.

  • Applies to sell-side trades (listing).

  • 100% of the fee is burned.

This directly ties marketplace activity to deflation.

Estimated burn (3 years): 1M–3M JPT

3) Special tournament entries (100%)

Certain tournaments use a full-burn entry model.

  • Entry fees are paid in JPT.

  • 100% of entry fees are burned.

Estimated burn (3 years): 2M–8M JPT

4) Unstaking penalties (2%)

Early unstaking from locked positions triggers a penalty.

  • 2% of the unstaked amount is burned

  • Applies only when users exit locked staking prematurely

This mechanism reduces circulating supply while aligning incentives toward long-term participation.

Estimated burn (3 years): 1M–4M JPT

5) Direct utility burns (1%)

Some in-casino utility purchases carry a 1% burn fee

  • Free Spins / Free Bets purchases (1% fee)

  • Rakeback boosts (1% fee)

  • XP multipliers (1% fee)

  • Magic Boxes (1% fee)

  • Special tournament/quest entries (1% fee)

Estimated burn (3 years): 3M–9M JPT

6) Community burns

The community can periodically vote on burn events.

  • Timing and size are defined by governance.

  • Execution is on-chain and publicly verifiable.

Estimated burn (3 years): 8M–140M JPT

Transparency

All burns are trackable on-chain.

  • Burn transactions are public.

  • Supply reduction is verifiable at any time.
