Supply only moves in one direction
Usage funds the burn. The burn tightens supply.
MCR is a deflationary token. Monochrome commits to a structured, profit-funded buy-back and burn that permanently removes MCR from circulation. It is the mechanism the leading exchange tokens proved to be the primary driver of long-term value.The mechanism
Every quarter, 20% of net platform profit is allocated to buying MCR on the open market. All MCR bought back is permanently destroyed at a burn address no one controls.
Because the buy-back is funded by real platform profit, the amount burned grows as the platform grows.
Contingent burns
On top of the base quarterly round:- Launchpad and Digital IPO revenue. 25% of Monochrome’s platform fee revenue from every Launchpad offering and Digital IPO is added to that quarter’s burn.
- Deprecated products. If a product line is retired, any MCR held in reserve against it is burned in the following round.
Built to be verified
The credibility of a profit-funded burn rests entirely on verifiability. Monochrome commits to:1
A published, fixed formula
20% of net profit, quarterly. Rule-based, not discretionary.
2
A single, immutable burn address
Published in advance. Anyone can verify the cumulative amount removed from supply on a block explorer, at any time.
3
A public burn ledger
Every round recorded: round number, execution window, average purchase price, MCR purchased, MCR burned, cumulative supply reduction, and the transaction link.
4
Independent quarterly attestations
From the first full fiscal quarter of operation, an independent third party confirms each burn matches 20% of reported net profit.
The flywheel
The buy-back and burn is a supply-management mechanism funded by platform profit. It is not a dividend, a profit distribution, or a payment to holders. Holders benefit only from any market-value effect of a reduced circulating supply.
