# Burning ## How does the burning mechanism work for SCAR tokens, and what triggers it? There are two methods of burning that can be activated: one through on-chain transactions, and the second through a percentage of SCAR earned from in-game SCAR revenue. Currently our focus is on rewarding the players instead of burning or taxing traders and players. ## How often are SCAR tokens burned, and what percentage of the supply is affected? Burning or taxing is currently disabled and instead redirected to players in the form of rewards, in the past we have burned a percentage of the supply and realized it had little to no effect on the player or investor. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
