Deflationary dynamics describe economic conditions or protocol mechanisms that cause a decrease in a cryptocurrency’s supply over time. Such dynamics often involve token burning, transaction fee destruction, or scarcity models that limit total issuance. The intention is typically to increase the value of individual tokens by reducing their availability. This contrasts with inflationary models where supply continually expands.

News often reports on projects implementing burning mechanisms or fixed supply limits to counter potential price depreciation. Debates persist regarding the long-term sustainability and economic impact of aggressive deflationary policies on network utility and adoption.
