A new chapter for SIS

Today marks a new chapter of SIS token in the Symbiosis ecosystem. This is kind of an announcement that was a big focus of our team recently, as SIS token can receive a certain upgrade.

Symbiosis continues to grow, transforming the protocol into a cross-chain powerhouse. Dramatical increases of the main metrics and the community expansion, catering a wide range of use cases - numerous factors contribute to the new path of SIS token.

We’re thrilled to announce that Symbiosis Protocol is ready to implement the Deflation Framework, which can include burning the SIS tokens!
And it’s Symbiotes’ right to decide on it.

Background & the updates

According to the current SIS tokenomics, the supply and the model are distributed among several streams, including Rewards, Treasury and Liquidity. With the protocol fees that the protocol received back, we secured a certain amount of SIS tokens to manage them further.

The suggested Deflation Framework is the first step towards the upgraded mechanism of SIS burning and a contribution to the brand new Symbiosis Protocol v3, therefore under this upgraded system it may include the burn trajectory.

In the previous year, Symbiosis had burned a certain amount of SIS tokens since the proposal was supported by the community. Lots of factors appeared and evaporated, respectively, leaving Symbiosis in new conditions.

Now it’s time to opt in to decide the fate of these funds, so that they can contribute to the growth of Symbiosis Protocol, the governance token SIS and the ecosystem.

Here’s what we suggest.

Decision is yours

There are several mechanisms that can be utilized with the pay-back SIS funds that were obtained by Symbiosis Protocol, and one of them is the Ultimate Burning. Let’s break it down:

  • Ultimate Burning is a deflation framework that includes the mechanism of burning the amount of SIS tokens to decrease the supply;



  • Current circumstances allow our team to initiate SIS token burning if the community supports the idea;



  • The Ultimate Burning mechanism implies the upcoming burn event which may be transformed later into a series of them - depending on the community decision.



Burning SIS tokens may lead to the reinforcement and consolidation of the asset. Bolstering community engagement and participation, we leave this idea to you Symbiotes!




Call-to-action - SIS burn

Token Burn is a crucial and impactful event that should be considered in prior discussion with the Symbiosis community. Therefore, we initiate the DAO Voting on this matter to determine the destiny of SIS Ultimate Burning.

For those Symbiotes that value SIS and wish to navigate its path - by creating a Governance Pool in our Symbiosis DAO Page to decide whether we should burn the buyback-SIS tokens!

New era is right above us, and this is just the beginning.

What’s coming next?

It’s evident that as the Symbiosis ecosystem evolves so too should the SIS token. If the decision of the community is positive, we would proceed to burn the funds. Taking into consideration the feedback from the community and the growth strategy plans of Symbiosis Protocol, our SIS roadmap may have several new additions.

And that is why we want to have your opinion counted - Symbiotes are always welcomed in our Discord and Telegram communities, where all discussions related to the upcoming fate of our governance token.

Maybe SIS token should have a new home

01

What is the SIS Deflation Framework?

The Deflation Framework is a proposed upgrade to SIS tokenomics that introduces a burn mechanism to reduce supply. It is positioned as the first step toward an updated burn trajectory tied to Symbiosis Protocol v3.

02

How does Ultimate Burning work for SIS?

Ultimate Burning burns a portion of buyback SIS tokens that the protocol collected through fees, reducing circulating supply. It starts as a single burn event and may continue as a series, depending on what the community decides.

03

Who decides if SIS tokens get burned?

The Symbiosis community decides through DAO voting. The team has opened a Governance Pool on the Symbiosis DAO page so Symbiotes can vote on whether the buyback SIS tokens should be burned.

04

Where do the SIS tokens for the burn come from?

They come from buyback SIS funds the protocol obtained through protocol fees. These reserves were secured from fee revenue and earmarked for further management, including a potential burn.

05

Has Symbiosis burned SIS tokens before?

Yes. In 2023, Symbiosis burned a certain amount of SIS tokens after the community supported that proposal. The 2024 vote revisited burning under updated conditions.

06

How does a SIS burn affect token holders?

Burning reduces the SIS supply, which the team frames as reinforcement and consolidation of the asset. The article does not promise price effects, only that supply decreases if holders approve the burn.

07

How can Symbiotes vote on the SIS burn?

Voting happens through a Governance Pool created on the Symbiosis DAO page. Community discussion also runs in the official Discord and Telegram channels alongside the on-chain vote.

08

What happens if the community approves the burn?

If the vote passes, the team will proceed to burn the buyback SIS funds. Based on community feedback and Symbiosis growth plans, the SIS roadmap may add further burn events or related upgrades.
