# Deflationary Mechanics

Further, certain farmed materials are non-permanent and will be destroyed as they are consumed for use. i.e. materials used in construction (reduced return when deconstructing an item for material recapture), temporary boosts, etc. \

Finally, covered in greater detail later, the METAMORPH development team is also committed to a token repurchase and burn program, based on both traditional revenues and in-game revenues. The result of this mechanic is a natural deflation of assets in existence over time. Particularly as more players seek rewards in the most dangerous security zones.

### Metamorph Token Burn

In addition to contributing towards the UAMM, the METAMORPH development team will also participate in a token acquisition and burn mechanism. These purchases will occur on the same open-market DEXs to which all players have access. Similar to UAMM contributions, $GOV repurchased will come from gross company revenues, and will create deflation in circulating supply.
