# Burning $STFX
Deflationary burn mechanics are at the core of the STFX protocol. These include 2 types of burns:
1. User Generated Burns (microburn transactions)
2. Protocol Generated Burns
## User Generated Burns
We are currently developing a series of new Buy-and-Burn mechanics that allow the STFX users to access a range of premium features similar to in-game microtransactions.
## Protocol Generated Burns
To this day, the STFX Community has voted to burn over 60,000,000 $STFX tokens. This translates into 6% of the total $STFX Supply permanently removed from existence.

## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.stfx.io/burning-usdstfx.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
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.
