The Oven
$CRUMBLE gets bought back and burned. None of it is paid for by the people using the app.
What it is
$CRUMBLE gets bought on the open market and burned. The tokens go to an address whose private key does not exist, which means they are gone: not locked, not vested, not held in a treasury that could change its mind. Supply only moves one way.
Who pays for it, and who does not
You do not. The app charges no fee, so not a cent of your change funds any of this. The buy-backs are paid for by the project's own side, from the token rather than from the people using the product.
This is worth stating precisely, because plenty of projects run a buy-back funded by a fee and describe it as if users were getting something for nothing. Here the arrangement is the honest version of that: the app costs you nothing and the burn costs you nothing, because the two are not connected.
How to check it rather than believe it
-
The burn address is public
1nc1nerator11111111111111111111111111111111. Nobody holds its key, and anybody can read what is sitting in it. -
The balance only climbs
Tokens sent there cannot come back. The burned total is therefore a fact on a public ledger rather than a figure we publish.
-
The buy-backs are ordinary swaps
Same pools, same prices, same routing everyone else uses. No privileged access, nothing done off-market, all of it visible on Solscan.
What the band on the site shows
| Burned so far | $CRUMBLE sitting at the incinerator, read live from the chain. |
| Share of supply | What that burn is as a percentage of everything ever minted. |
| Your cost | Nothing. It says so because it is true. |
There is no progress bar towards the next buy-back, because there is no pot of user fees filling up. Drawing one would imply a schedule we are not in a position to promise.
The Oven is not lit yet. $CRUMBLE has not been minted, so the band reads SOON rather than showing numbers. It starts working the moment the token exists, and nothing about it needs deploying.
What this does not promise
Buying a token and burning it reduces supply. It does not set a price, guarantee a direction, or owe anybody a return, and we are not going to imply otherwise. What it does is turn one claim into a number you can look up yourself.
