# The Venom Pit

**2.5%** of all $MEDUSA traded are burnt in <mark style="color:red;">**The Venom Pit**</mark><mark style="color:red;">.</mark> The more that is traded, the more get put into the fire causing the Venom pit to grow in size, larger and larger through self fulfilling Auto-Compounding, reducing the circulating supply and keeping the Medusa protocol stable.

The other benefit to an everlasting burn of circulating supply is that due to the deflationary nature of it, equates to a higher value of each $MEDUSA token, therefore increasing the individual value.
