Could you please clarify for me if GRT tokens are subject to a burning mechanism? I've heard rumors about this but I'm not quite sure how it works. Could you explain the concept of token burning in general and then specifically for GRT tokens? I'm particularly interested in knowing if it affects the overall supply of GRT and how it might influence the price dynamics of the token in the market. Would you mind elaborating on this matter?

Burning tokens involves permanently removing them from circulation, effectively reducing the total supply. This process can occur through various activities on the network, such as staking rewards or governance votes.

Issuance, on the other hand, involves creating new tokens and adding them to the circulating supply. This can occur through initial coin offerings (ICOs), mining rewards, or through predefined inflationary mechanisms.

As network activity increases, the demand for tokens also rises, often leading to an increase in the issuance rate. However, to maintain a balance and prevent excessive inflation, networks often counterbalance this with token burning.

Approximately 1% of the GRT supply is burned annually through various activities on the network. This ensures that the supply remains in check, preventing excessive dilution of token value.

Cryptocurrency networks often employ token supply mechanisms to regulate the availability of their digital assets. Among these mechanisms, burning and issuance play pivotal roles in managing the supply and demand dynamics.
