The Datamine Network has launched a new decentralized milestone: the "Burn Cycle" achievement. This achievement is unlocked when users purchase FLUX from Uniswap and burn it, directly reinforcing the ecosystem's deflationary monetary policies. ## Inside the Burn Cycle Achievement The Burn Cycle achievement incentivizes community-driven deflation. To date, more than 1,350,000 FLUX tokens have been burned and permanently removed from circulation. Burning remains a core mechanism of the Datamine ecosystem, acting as a secondary functionality of money where users destroy tokens to passively generate yield. ## Rising Total Value Locked Ecosystem metrics show that 72.79% of the total DAM supply is currently locked on Layer 1 (Ethereum) to mint FLUX. This represents a total value locked (TVL) of over 1,200,000, demonstrating strong, long-term commitment from validators within the decentralized, ownerless network.
