# Burn Mechanisms There are no burn mechanisms planned for the first phase of the Impossible Cloud Network (ICN). During this initial period, the primary focus is on network growth, decentralisation, and incentivising participation. In the maturity phase, burn mechanisms may be implemented as part of the network's evolution. For example, a portion of ICN's Treasury may be burned to permanently remove ICNT from circulation, helping to manage inflation and support the token's long-term value. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.icn.global/icn-economics/tokenomics/the-icnt/burn-mechanisms.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
