Deflationary Forces on Maximum Supply

EDEN's Role in Controlling Supply

EDEN introduces a smart inflation-control mechanism via a MaxAPR design.

  • Each pool has a predefined MaxAPR (e.g. 75%)

  • The protocol determines how many EDEN should be minted to match that APR

  • If less is needed based on user activity, EDEN is not minted

  • Since EDEN = ELYS, any un-minted EDEN = un-minted ELYS

Example:

  • Protocol can mint 10,000 EDEN/day

  • Only 700 are needed

  • 9,300 EDEN are skipped

  • Result: 9,300 ELYS tokens are never minted

This results in a maximum supply reduction. As of May 2025, the Impact:

  • Supply not created: 7.5M tokens

  • New max supply: 192.5M ELYS, down from the original 200M

ELYS Taker Fee

With each swap transaction, a taker fee is charged.

  • The current Taker Free is 0.05%

  • The Taker Fee is used to automatically purchases ELYS (if needed), then sends the ELYS to be burned

  • The burned ELYS reduces the maximum supply at a 1-for-1 basis.
