# $EPIC Deflationary Model

The $EPIC token is designed with robust deflationary mechanisms to combat inflation and support a healthy long-term ecosystem. These mechanisms aim to enhance token scarcity and increase value over time.

1. **Unclaimed Airdrop Tokens:**
   * 100% of all unclaimed $EPIC tokens from airdrops will be locked for 24 months and redistributed to the most active players as leaderboard rewards, with a linear vesting period of 24 months.
2. **In-App Purchases (IAP):**
   * 20% of all IAP revenue will be used to buy back $EPIC tokens from exchanges and lock them, for a period of 24 months and redistributed to the project treasury.
3. **In-App Advertisements (IAA):**
   * 20% of all IAA revenue will be used to buy back $EPIC tokens from exchanges and lock them, for a period of 24 months and redistributed to the project treasury.

These measures ensure that $EPIC remains a valuable asset by aligning the token's utility with an ongoing deflationary strategy. By tying burns to user activity and ecosystem growth, EpicApes strengthens the long-term potential of $EPIC while incentivizing player engagement.
