# Burn and Buybacks

Marketing communication. XTEN may lose all value, be illiquid or non-transferable. Restrictions apply. See XTEN White Paper, Terms, Risk Statement & Restricted Regions.

**The total XTEN supply can only decrease.** No mechanism, including minting, governance votes, or cross-chain transfers, can increase the total supply beyond the fixed cap of 1,000,000,000 XTEN.

XTEN tokens paid as trading fees may be burned. The ability to pay trading fees in XTEN is expected to be introduced after TGE.

Extended group entities may also purchase XTEN on the open market for operational, treasury, or supply-management purposes, including potential token burns where authorised. All burned tokens will be permanently removed from circulation and total supply. Further details will be published if and when a buyback programme is launched.
