# Continuous Unlock & Burn
HTC places a strong emphasis on the Continuous Burning Mechanism.
We are committed to consistently generating a stable source of demand and evolving in collaboration with our users.
The burning ratio when swapping Game Credits for HTC is determined based on the NFT Level, as shown below:
\- NFT LEVEL 1 : 10% of the swapped $HTC is burned.\
\- NFT LEVEL 2 : 5% of the swapped $HTC is burned.\
\- NFT LEVEL 3 : 4% of the swapped $HTC is burned.\
\- NFT LEVEL 4 : 3% of the swapped $HTC is burned.\
\- NFT LEVEL 5 : 2% of the swapped $HTC is burned.\
\- NFT LEVEL 6 : 1% of the swapped $HTC is burned.
HTC used through NFT Upgrade is continuously unlocked, and existing NFTs are burned as follows.
HeartCoin Burn Address : 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD
NFTs used for upgrades will be burned, and new NFTs will be minted. In such cases, minting gas fees are also waived for users.
The number of burned NFTs is added to the next NFT issuance volume, and Game Credits are distributed to NFT Staking users.
HTC used for NFT upgrades is immediately locked. However, the used HTC is promptly unlocked by sending it to the P2E Package Address, and this amount is continuously accumulated.
These complementary mechanisms are designed to establish a balanced algorithm for stable supply and demand within HTC.
