# Sustainability Mechanisms

The burning mechanism, where 20 $UNCH tokens are burned as part of each game’s gas fee, ensures that the supply remains controlled. This mechanism creates deflationary pressure, preventing excessive inflation of the token supply and adding value for holders over time. By combining transaction fees, token burns, and ecosystem reinvestment, The Unchained ensures long-term sustainability and growth, benefiting both the game’s community and the broader token economy.
