# What is BaseTrove?

### The most deflationary token on Base — backed by real solar-powered mining.

***

**BaseTrove ($TROVE)** is a deflationary token on Base chain built around a self-sustaining economic engine. Unlike typical DeFi projects that rely solely on trading volume, BaseTrove is backed by **real-world solar ASIC miners** running 24/7 — generating perpetual revenue that flows directly into buybacks, burns, and the Vault.

Every token that gets burned raises the ETH floor price for every remaining $TROVE in existence. Every buyback brings more volume, more burns, and more ETH into the Vault. A flywheel that never stops spinning.

## Core Loop

```
Solar Miners → Revenue (ETH)
        ↓
  Allocated dynamically based on market conditions:
  → Vault (ETH accumulates — floor rises)
  → Buyback $TROVE from LP → Burn (when price near floor)
        ↓
  Circulating supply decreases
  Vault ETH per token increases
  Price floor rises — forever
```

Swap fees add a second revenue stream into the Vault on top of mining:

```
Every DEX swap → 2–5% fee
        ↓
  50% → Vault
  50% → Team & Dev (reinvested into more miners)
```

The price floor for $TROVE in the Vault is calculated as:

```
Price Floor = Total ETH in Vault ÷ Circulating $TROVE Supply
```

This number can only go up.
