# Buy & Burn Mechanics

**Overview:** Flare’s Buy & Burn mechanics use a decentralized system to continually reduce supply. Each day has a dedicated percentage of X28 allocated to burn both Flare and TitanX, following a daily schedule.

**Buy & Burn Schedule:**

* Sunday to Wednesday: 4% of total X28 per day.
* Thursday: 10% of total X28.
* Friday and Saturday: 15% of total X28 per day.

**Process:**

1. Intervals: Buy and burn transactions occur as time and value cap buy and burn intervals every 7.5 minutes, creating 192 intervals daily.
2. Accumulated Buys: If an interval is missed, the amount is doubled for the next interval. Any unused TitanX rolls over to the following week.
