## LOCK Token is Now Live The Datamine Network has officially launched LOCK, the stability and liquidity token designed to enhance the ecosystem's long-term resilience on Arbitrum Layer 2. Users can now stake ArbiFLUX to mint LOCK, introducing a new phase of decentralized monetary policy. To celebrate this launch, ArbiFLUX has reached a milestone of 1,111 days online, securing its position as a battle-tested Layer 2 solution for inflation control since its introduction in 2021. ## Yield Through Proof-of-Burn LOCK features an innovative yield generation mechanism. By burning LOCK, users can permanently increase their minting APY. Instead of simply destroying the tokens, burning LOCK redirects half of the value to Ethereum and adds both back into a permanent, decentralized liquidity pool. This process establishes a proof-of-burn model that mitigates price volatility and deepens market liquidity. The integration flow allows participants to easily lock DAM on Layer 1 to mint FLUX, bridge it to Layer 2 to mint ArbiFLUX, and ultimately lock ArbiFLUX to mint LOCK, completing the robust DeFi loop.
