📈Stability and Growth Mechanisms

To ensure the stability of $UBTU over time and foster a sustainable market depth, the uBits protocol incorporates a range of strategies:

Controlled Inflation

For the first four years, $UBTU will experience linear yet controlled and transparent inflation, set at 17.5% per annum, which translates to about 1.46% per month. This mechanism aims to prevent large volumes of tokens from being abruptly introduced into the market, maintaining a balance between supply and demand.

Utility NFTs and Buying Demand

The implementation of Utility NFTs generates a consistent buying demand. This demand, coupled with the limited issuance of tokens, creates positive market pressure, aiding in the appreciation of $UBTU.

Token Burning

The requirement to burn $UBTU tokens to mint Utility NFTs leads to a reduction in the nominal inflation of the token and can, under certain circumstances, result in deflation. This process adjusts the token supply in the market, supporting the long-term appreciation of $UBTU.

Incentive to Lock Tokens

Users are encouraged to lock their $UBTU tokens, an incentive that promotes token stability while rewarding users for their loyalty and engagement with the ecosystem.

Liquidity Provision

Users are incentivized to provide liquidity in pools involving the $UBTU token, ensuring adequate market liquidity, facilitating transactions, and mitigating price volatility.

Revenue Reserve

Approximately 3% of the platform's revenue is reserved in stablecoins, creating a fund intended to support the price of $UBTU during downturns through token repurchase. This mechanism provides an additional layer of protection against sharp market fluctuations.

Demand for Service Utilization

Beyond the mechanisms mentioned above, the natural buying demand for using services on the platform plays a crucial role. Users need to acquire $UBTU to access and utilize various services offered by uBits, including but not limited to asset tokenization and cap table management. This ongoing demand for $UBTU for transactions on the platform significantly contributes to its stability and value growth, reinforcing the token's utility and relevance in the uBits ecosystem.
