HTT Token Inflation & Deflation Policy

HTT Token Inflation & Deflation Policy

Effective Date: [May 2, 2025]
Last Updated: [May 17, 2025]
Applies To: HTT Token (Hotel Travel Token) ecosystem and all related platforms including Bookinger.online and HTTToken.com

1. Purpose

This policy outlines the mechanisms and rules in place to monitor, manage, and mitigate inflationary and deflationary pressures on the HTT Token. Our core objective is to maintain price stability, user confidence, and long-term sustainability within the HTT economy.

2. Inflation Measurement & Monitoring

HTT Token inflation is calculated using the following formula:

Inflation Rate (%) = ((New Issued – Burned) ÷ Circulating Supply at Start of Period) × 100

  • Circulating Supply refers to the total HTT in wallets, rewards, and active trading (excluding locked or unvested supply).

  • Inflation is monitored monthly and evaluated cumulatively on an annual basis.

  • Token issuance and burns are tracked on-chain using tools such as Etherscan APIs, smart contract logs, and internal reports.

  • An internal dashboard and optional public page will display real-time and historical metrics.

3. Inflation Control Measures

To maintain a stable economic model, HTT Token enforces a maximum annual inflation cap of 4%, except in extreme DAO-approved cases.

Controls include:

  • Scheduled Token Unlocks: Token supply expansion follows a fixed release schedule tied to real ecosystem use cases (not speculation).

  • Smart Cap Enforcement: No more than 4% net inflation (minted – burned) annually unless approved through emergency governance.

  • Use-Driven Minting: New HTT can only be minted proportionally to measurable platform usage (bookings, rewards, vendor payouts).

  • DAO Governance (Future Plan): Any exception to the inflation cap must be proposed and voted upon by token stakeholders.

4. Deflation Control Measures

To guard against HTT price erosion or oversupply:

  • Token Burn Programs: A fixed percentage of HTT used in booking fees or service charges may be burned quarterly.

  • Buyback Strategy: Revenues from vendor fees or platform margins may be used to repurchase HTT from the open market.

  • Adaptive Reward Tuning: HTT reward levels (for travelers, vendors, or affiliates) may be adjusted down during high inflation phases.

  • Expanding HTT Use Cases: Broader adoption (hotel rooms, transport, tour packages, special offers) absorbs more HTT to balance supply.

5. Emergency Protocols for Over-Inflation

If inflation exceeds 4% in any rolling 12-month period, the following may be enacted:

  1. Automatic Freeze on Rewards and Airdrops.

  2. Temporary Halt on New Minting.

  3. Priority Activation of Buyback or Burn Events.

  4. Public Release of Inflation Report and rationale for emergency action.

  5. (If active) DAO Proposal Voting for permanent supply adjustments.

6. Reporting and Transparency

HTT will publish supply and inflation data:

  • Quarterly Reports (available via website)

  • Smart Contract Logs (verifiable on Etherscan or block explorers)

  • Public Inflation Dashboard with:

    • Circulating Supply

    • Tokens Minted and Burned

    • Monthly and Year-to-Date Inflation Rate

    • Trigger Alerts if approaching or exceeding 4% annual cap

7. Conclusion

HTT Token is built to support a growing travel and hospitality ecosystem. Stability and fair distribution are essential. This Inflation & Deflation Policy ensures that HTT remains a reliable medium of exchange while preserving its long-term value.
