# Stability and Sustainability

## **Ecosystem Circulation**

* **B2C Business Model**: Developers (B2B) must purchase CYC for SDK usage & gas fees, while end users (B2C) can pay via native gas fees without holding CYC, lowering Web2 adoption barriers.
* **Tokenized Asset Liquidity**: Projects can issue fully full-chain tokens without requiring additional liquidity, but ETH, USDT, and USDC **mainstream assets** still require dedicated liquidity providers.

## **Long-Term Token Sustainability**

* **Staking APR Adjustments**: Initially, staking APR will be high to attract early stakers & LP providers. Over time, staking rewards will gradually decrease as the ecosystem matures to prevent inflation.
* **Buyback & Burn Mechanism**: Currently, no buyback or burn mechanism is in place, but governance may introduce it in the future.
* **Governance Mechanism**: The short-term governance structure relies on a governance committee & multi-signature decision-making, with long-term plans to transition to a DAO model.
