# Supply Dynamics and Utility

#### **1. Supply Dynamics**

* **Fixed Supply**: The total supply of **Delnorte Tokens (DTV)** is fixed at 1 **Billion** tokens, with 1 **Billion tokens in circulation** and no mint function. This ensures a predictable and limited supply, contributing to scarcity and long-term value.
* **Token Burn Mechanics**:
  * **No burn mechanism** is implemented at launch.
  * A **burn mechanism** may be introduced in the future via a **fork** or through a **DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) vote**, allowing the community to decide if and when to burn tokens to reduce supply and increase value over time.

#### **2. Utility within the Ecosystem**

The **Delnorte Token** plays a central role in facilitating the ecosystem’s operations, providing access to various services, rewarding users and developers, and ensuring a seamless experience within the platform.

**Platform Access**

Users will need **Delnorte Tokens (DTV)** to:

* **Access and interact with government data** and documents (including viewing **Smart Certificates**).
* **Pay transaction fees** for accessing data and services on the platform at a **discounted rate** when holding tokens.
* **Participate in governance voting**, allowing users to shape the platform's future.
* **Collect rewards**, including both staking rewards and randomized bonuses.
* **Receive transaction discounts** and other benefits within the platform.

**Developer Incentives**

To encourage innovation and development on the **Delnorte app store**, developers can earn **Delnorte Tokens** in the following way

* **Grants** from the **Ecosystem Fund** for building innovative apps and solutions on the platform.
* **Revenue sharing models** within their apps, using the token for in-app purchases or subscriptions.
* **Crowdfunding and crowd-lending**: The token can be used to raise capital for developer projects or tokenized assets on the **Delnorte platform** and third-party platforms operating on Delnorte infrastructure.
