# Incentive Mechanism (Burn and Mint Equilibrium - BME)

The BME may adjust the token supply to stabilize the economy, which could be represented as

Define $$T(t)$$ as the total supply of tokens at time $$t$$.\
When a task is completed, burn a fraction $$\phi$$ of the task's cost from the total supply and mint new tokens $$M$$ based on network activity $$A(t)$$:

$$
T(t + 1) = T(t) - \phi \cdot \text{Cost}(task) + M(A(t))
$$

Where $$M(A(t))$$ is a function that determines the number of new tokens to mint based on network usage metrics.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://blendr-network.gitbook.io/blendr-network-technical-plan-docs/blendrs-decentralized-architecture/incentive-mechanism-burn-and-mint-equilibrium-bme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
