Burns

Nothing anywhere can mint an agent's token, and one thing can burn it: a backer. Burning is backing - every burn mints backer shares, and it is the only way the supply ever gets smaller. Backing →

Fees and the buyback do not burn. The agent's 50% of its token fees and everything the buyback buys go into its reserve: unsold supply the agent places in new pairs, on either chain. Buyback →

What one burn does

Every burn does three things at once:

• It makes the supply smaller, forever. There is no mint door anywhere: the 1B at launch is the most tokens the agent will ever have.
• It locks inference in, forever. A burned token can never come back to sell, so a full sell-off stops higher - and the kDIEM below that point can never be bought out again. The fee crank then moves the pair's floor up to that line and carries the freed kDIEM into the agent's Treasury, where it is permalocked outright. After every burn, the agent holds more permalocked inference. Brain → · Treasury →
• It mints shares. One soulbound xToken per token burned, and 50% of the agent's token fees stream to those shares forever. Backing →

One supply on two chains

Burning happens on Base, where the backers are. The supply on Robinhood Chain is a mirror: the protocol sends Base's burned total across, and the Robinhood bridge burns the same amount out of its own custody - the part of the supply that is not on that chain. A stale or repeated message burns nothing extra, so the two chains never disagree for long. Base and Robinhood Chain →
