Fees & harvest
Every Diggers coin starts with exactly 1 billion tokens, and that number only ever goes down. The burn fee turns trading volume into permanent scarcity: a slice of every harvest is destroyed, forever, automatically.
At launch the creator sets the burn share, anywhere from 0% to 100%. At every harvest, the token-side fees split along that line: the burn share goes to the void, and the remainder becomes the Daily Contest Potthat the coin's top 10 traders split every 24 hours. Scarcity for holders on one side, prizes for traders on the other.
Balanced 50 / 50 (the default)
Holder-heavy 90 / 10
Maximum scarcity 100 / 0
A heavy burn makes every trade tighten the supply and rewards patient holders. A heavy pot supercharges the daily contest and rewards active traders. The default 50/50 feeds both. There is no wrong answer, only a personality you pick for your coin.
Burned tokens are not parked, escrowed, or recycled. They are removed from the total supply at the contract level, and because no Diggers coin has a mint function, the reduction is mathematically permanent. Watch any active coin's supply stat: it starts at 1 billion and it never sees that number again.
Anyone can also burn their own tokens directly at any time, and a coin running an optional buyback burns whatever it buys back too. The burn fee simply automates the ritual, wiring it to the one thing a living coin always produces: volume.
A creator-chosen share of the token-side trading fees is burned, permanently reducing supply. The standard launch configuration burns 50% of the token fee side, with the other 50% feeding the Daily Contest Pot.
Never. There is no mint function in the token contract. Supply starts at 1 billion and only ever decreases through burns and buyback-and-burn.
The creator, at launch, anywhere from 0% to 100% of the token fee side. A non-renounced creator can adjust the burn-versus-pot split later; renouncing freezes it forever.
Burned tokens go to the zero address, so the total is verifiable on any block explorer. The coin page shows the cumulative burned amount and the effect on supply.
