Deflationary Model

Definition ∞ A deflationary model is an economic system designed to reduce the total supply of a currency or asset over time. This reduction in supply can occur through mechanisms like burning tokens or other forms of asset destruction. The intent is often to increase the scarcity and, theoretically, the value of the remaining assets.
Context ∞ The implementation and impact of deflationary models in digital assets are subjects of ongoing debate and observation. Discussions often focus on the long-term economic consequences, such as potential hoarding of assets and the effects on transaction velocity. Analysts are closely monitoring projects employing these models to assess their sustainability and their influence on market dynamics.
