As Cere Protocol evolves as a leading decentralized data  infrastructure standard, a key milestone in the journey involves its transformation into a non-inflationary protocol to be achieved via a token burn initiative. The end result is a stable supply of 10 billion tokens that can both service growing protocol usage and maintain investor value without dilution.

Let’s explore the pivotal milestones marking the road to Cere Protocol’s non-inflationary status. And act now, the Token burn referenda is live! Learn and cast your vote today!

$CERE Burn – Resetting the Bar to 10 Billion 🔥

In order to sustain growth and investor value, Cere Protocol is evolving to initiate an automated burn of $CERE tokens. This reduction in the supply growth is strategically set to maintain a total supply of 10 Billion tokens without limiting protocol usage and scaling. By matching burn to supply growth, network validators can receive industry leading rewards to incentivize increased network security and decentralization without diluting investors.

Current State of $CERE: Unveiling the Numbers 📊

Initially, the Cere ICO set the supply of $CERE tokens at 10 Billion. To incentivize network validation on the mainnet, inflation was programmed in to ensure fair compensation. While bridging and staking on mainnet is both easy and offers a market leading APY, the Ethereum side of the token remains at a fixed supply of 10 Billion tokens.

Therefore, while the mainnet Cere Blockchain has inflation programmed in to reward validators and nominators, $CERE tokens on Ethereum and Polygon do not have supply changes to accommodate for this inflation. As of February 26th 2024, here are the key metrics for Cere Blockchain:

• Total Supply: 11,020,079,705.31 CERE tokens
• Treasury: 779,000,000 CERE tokens

Unveiling the Token Burning Strategy: A Step-by-Step Guide 🌋

How will the burn mechanism work? The token burn starts with a AYE/NAY vote in the referenda, a fair voting process available to all participants in Cere’s DAO governance. All token holders can vote on this proposal as part of the first step towards true decentralization.

If the vote passes, this will be a key moment in transitioning to stronger tokenomics. Once the burn is complete, the supply will be permanently fixed at 10 Billion.

As of now funds subject to burning will be 100% sourced from the treasury and the Cere Network Foundation. This move ensures that token holders and application developers experience the benefits of supply stability and deflationary burning without any of the costs.

As a decentralized community driven token and ecosystem, modernizing the protocol’s tokenomics must be dynamically and precisely implemented to maintain validator incentives without diluting holders.

Next steps moving forward: Launch of First-Party Data Cluster - Dragon I 🐉

The modernization of Cere’s tokenomics goes beyond just a token burn. The introduction of first-party data clusters marks a significant step forward for network utilization, fees, and ecosystem feedback loops. The first cluster named Dragon I utilizes Cere’s robust infrastructure and opens new doors to data management frameworks for the growing Web3 ecosystem. As the network usage grows, the fees generated by increased activity will further contribute to maintaining stable supply and additional deflationary initiatives.
