## Sustained Market Deflation in Action The Datamine Network has reached a significant milestone, recording its first full month of continuous negative supply inflation. Real-time analytics for the FLUX token demonstrate true market deflation in action, driven by the ecosystem's unique decentralized proof-of-burn mechanics. ## The Dynamics of Proof-of-Burn This deflationary milestone is powered by the relationship between the DAM and FLUX tokens. Users lock DAM on Layer 1 (Ethereum) to mint FLUX. To optimize their yields, validators burn FLUX, which directly offsets emission rates. When the rate of burning outpaces the rate of minting, the system enters a state of negative inflation. This on-chain dynamic showcases how decentralized monetary policy can self-regulate based on active participant demand.
