Asymmetric Deflationary Pressure

Abstract This paper introduces Asymmetric Deflationary Pressure (ADP), a theory of tokenomic market mechanics describing the compounding effect of three simultaneous forces acting on a fixed-supply digital asset: (1) temporally concentrated buy-side demand, (2) temporally distributed sell-side supply, and (3) monotonic, irreversible supply contraction through programmatic destruction. We argue that ADP produces a structural price asymmetry that is mechanically favorable to holders over time, independent of speculative sentiment. We present LASTBURN, a Solana-based weekly community burn pool, as the first reference implementation of ADP and formalize the per-unit mathematics governing its market impact.
