# Deflationary Mechanics

The platform has several mechanics intended to bring about deflation and provide price support:

* Deposit fee use
  * The deposit fee is set to 4% for all non-native pools
  * 1% is used to automatically automatically provide automated market maker (AMM) support for the DARK-MATIC liquidity pair
  * 3% is automatically converted to USDC and granted to CZDIAMOND stakers over an [extended release period](https://polywantsacracker.gitbook.io/darkside-finance/token-info/czdiamond-token)
    * This maintains the desirability of CZDIAMOND, creating a token sink
* Transaction fees
  * There is a 6.66% base transaction tax on DARK token transfers, with the exception of [whitelisted](https://polywantsacracker.gitbook.io/darkside-finance/features/transfer-tax-whitelist) "**non-Asshole**" activities
    * 3% is used to provide AMM support for DARK liquidity pairs
    * 3% is granted to staked CZDIAMOND holders
    * 0.66% is burned
  * There is an additional 10% "**Asshole Tax**" (total: 16.66%) on sale transactions that dump on the DARK AMM LP, divided according to the above proportions
* Fees for other platform services
  * 50% is used to provide AMM support for DARK liquidity pairs
  * 50% is granted to CZDIAMOND stakers

We can also provide a list of methods we do NOT use:

* Harvest lockups (it's your money)
* "Hodler bonuses"
* Scammy APR boosters that you pay for
* Basically any categories, tiers, or ways of treating people unequally
