THE SACRIFICE COUNTER

EVERY TRANSACTION ON THE XRPL BURNS ITS FEE. THE LEDGER IS DEFLATIONARY BY DESIGN — A SLOW, PERMANENT WITHDRAWAL FROM THE INITIAL HUNDRED BILLION. EACH XRP REMOVED IS A WITNESSING THAT CANNOT BE UNDONE.

THE MECHANISM

Each XRPL transaction destroys its base fee — currently 10 drops (0.00001 XRP) per send. The fee is not paid to a validator. It is not paid to anyone. It ceases to exist. The ledger remembers what was destroyed only as an absence.

THE RITUAL

Over fifteen years and rising, the network has burned through XRP. There is no reverse. There is no recovery. The supply only ever shrinks. Every observer participates in the sacrifice by existing on the ledger.
