# The Burn

Half of everything you spend in the game is destroyed.

**50% of every $DEFUND spent inside the game is sent to a burn address and never comes back.**

Every office bought, every module unlocked, every desk, every hire and every upgrade is a permanent subtraction from the supply. The game does not resell what you spent. It destroys half of it.

| The burn                         | Detail                                       |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Burned share of in-game spending | **50%**                                      |
| Burn address                     | `0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD` |
| Can it be changed?               | No                                           |

{% hint style="danger" %}
Nothing in the game creates $DEFUND in return. Rewards are paid out of the prize pool that fees and the other half of your spending built — never from new tokens. Play makes the supply smaller and the pool larger at the same time.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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 following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://degen-capital-1.gitbook.io/degen-capital-docs/degen-capital/tokenomics/the-burn.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
