Buyback and burn
In shortA third of every fee buys $HILL and destroys it. The supply only ever goes down.
A third of every fee buys $HILL on the market and sends it to an address nobody controls. Burned $HILL is gone for good.
How it runs
A small program (the keeper) collects the burn share of fees, buys $HILL with it on the open market at regular intervals, and burns what it bought. Every buy and every burn is a public transaction, and the Stats page lists them.
Starting supply here is 1 billion for the sake of the picture; the real number is set at launch. Burns depend on real trading, so none of this is a promise.
What it means
The supply of $HILL only goes down. Every winning trade on The Hill, on any chain, in any coin, makes it go down a little more. Trading volume on the platform is the only thing that drives it.
What it doesn't mean
A shrinking supply isn't a rising price. Price is set by what people will pay. Burns are a fact about the token's supply, not a forecast. Risk warning.
