## Redefining Money with Decentralized Yield The Datamine Network introduces a fundamental shift in tokenomics by treating yield as an intrinsic property of money. Rather than relying on traditional proof-of-stake models where high yields are offset by equivalent inflation, the Datamine ecosystem utilizes a unique proof-of-burn pattern. By locking DAM on Layer 1 to mint FLUX, or bridging to Layer 2 (Arbitrum) to lock ArbiFLUX and mint LOCK, users permanently destroy tokens to secure a dynamic, long-term stream of yield. ## High-Velocity GameFi and Lockquidity At the core of the Layer 2 scaling strategy is the LOCK token, which maintains a permanent, decentralized liquidity pool. LOCK has reached a major milestone, with its yearly supply inflation dropping below 100% to 97.86%. To drive transactional throughput, the ecosystem features HODL Clicker, a bot-friendly GameFi layer. This game allows participants on Arbitrum to trigger on-chain burns for instant rewards, recycling liquidity back into the permanent pool and increasing market efficiency.
