👀 Both JST and HTX have a feature: the more they earn, the more they are burned.

Use "the money earned" to change the supply structure.
Let's first look at JST.
This time, a buyback and burn of 271 million tokens was carried out, roughly worth 21.3 million USD, accounting for 2.74% of the total supply. The protocol genuinely earned the money used for burning.
The path is also very clear:
Lenders use → JustLend generates income → Use income to buy back JST → Then burn → Circulating supply decreases
And now the treasury has also exceeded 100 million USD, which adds a layer of buffer to the entire model—it's not just transferable, but can keep circulating.
Now, looking at HTX, it’s actually another form of the same logic.
Q1 directly burned 10.83 trillion HTX tokens, worth about 19.22 million USD, with total burns and donations approaching 11% of the total supply.
The essence remains the same:
There are transactions → Transaction fees are generated → Fees are used for burning → Supply contracts
But HTX has a key change later: fees now only support $HTX deduction, which essentially binds "usage" directly to the token itself.
In other words, in the future, the more transactions there are, the more HTX is used, circulated back, and burned directly.
Looking at it together:
JST is doing DeFi income → buyback and burn → value flows back
HTX is doing transaction income → buyback and burn → supply contracts
How much is earned determines how much can be burned. The rest is up to time.
