DEP Labs successfully completed the first round of buybacks and burns of 500,000 DE tokens on October 16, 2025.

This transaction is publicly traceable on-chain, marking the official launch of the DEP public chain's quarterly buyback and burn mechanism.

🔹 I. Mechanism Overview

The DEP public chain's quarterly buyback and burn mechanism aims to gradually reduce the total circulating supply of DE through buybacks and burns, enhance token scarcity, and establish a long-term, sustainable deflationary model.

This mechanism officially takes effect this quarter. DEP Labs will conduct irregular buyback and burn operations each quarter based on on-chain data performance, network activity, and the operational status of the economic model. The full process will be publicly disclosed on-chain to ensure transparency and verifiability.

🔹 2. Execution Logic

The quarterly buyback and burn amounts are dynamically determined based on the DEP Adaptive Deflation Model:

Burn(Q) = α × Platform_Income(Q) + β × Network_Activity(Q) − γ × Inflation(Q)

Parameter Explanation:

α (Alpha): Quarterly platform income weighting coefficient

β (Beta): On-chain activity adjustment coefficient

γ (Gamma): Inflation offset coefficient, used to balance validator output and market supply

This model ensures that DE's deflationary behavior is positively correlated with network usage, achieving a dynamic economic equilibrium of "The More It's Used, The More It Burns."

🔹 III. First Round Implementation Notes

🔹 IV. Future Plans

DEP Labs will continue to refine its deflation and buyback model, dynamically adjusting the burn rate and frequency based on on-chain economic data and market performance to ensure a balance between ecosystem growth and deflation control for DE tokens. All subsequent quarterly buyback and burn data will be regularly published on the DEP official website to ensure an open, transparent, and verifiable execution system.
