# Tokenomics Like most L1 PoS blockchains, Shido does not have a maximum supply and currently operates with a **7% hardcoded inflation rate**. This inflation supports the ecosystem by rewarding validators and delegators, ensuring the network remains secure and sustainable. Any adjustments, whether an **increase or decrease** in this rate, can only be made through **on-chain governance proposals** via the network’s governance module. To address inflation, **Shido Chain** incorporates an **inbuilt burn module**, which is directly linked to **on-chain adoption and transaction volume**. The more the network is utilized, the more tokens are burned, effectively mitigating inflation. As adoption grows, the burn mechanism becomes increasingly active, balancing inflation with the network’s growth.
