Buyback and Burn

Definition

Buyback and burn is a deflationary mechanism where a project repurchases its native tokens from the open market and permanently removes them from circulation. This process reduces the total supply of the token, aiming to increase its scarcity and potentially its value. It is a common strategy employed by decentralized protocols to manage token economics. The reduction in supply can positively impact the remaining tokens’ market price.
