#### 3.2 Emission Schedule

**Controlled Release**

The Nebula token has a capped total supply, with tokens released according to a predefined schedule that reduces emissions over time.

**Liquidity Bootstrapping**

Initial high emissions are used to bootstrap liquidity and incentivize early adopters. Emissions gradually decrease to create scarcity and value appreciation.

#### 3.3 Burn Mechanism

**Deflationary Pressure**

Regular token burns reduce the circulating supply, potentially increasing the token's value and benefiting all holders.

**Protocol Usage Tied Burns**

The amount of tokens burned is proportional to the protocol's usage, aligning tokenomics with platform growth.
