### Token Allocation

### Token Value Accrual

The system dynamics of the Ecosphere economy is inflationary. Although the economic system contains both inflationary and deflationary mechanisms built in, inflationary dynamics dominate thus making the overall system dynamically inflationary. The inflationary mechanism mints tokens to reward Node owners, adding to the circulating supply from the climate data collection. The deflationary mechanism burns tokens in proportion to the revenue generated from the Ecosphere subscription revenues.

<mark style="color:yellow;">X% revenue received from subscriptions is  converted into USD stablecoin. The underlying value of the native token is equivalent to the total value of the USD stablecoins in the treasury divided by the number of tokens in circulation.</mark>

<mark style="color:yellow;">Token holders can convert their tokens into stablecoin at the prevailing rate at any time.</mark>

<mark style="color:yellow;">Tokens that are swapped for USD stablecoin in the treasury are burned automatically to reduce the number of tokens in circulation and maintain the price peg</mark>.

### Dynamic Burn Mechanism
