# Reverse Issuance Model **Reverse Issuance Model (RIM)** is an innovative deflationary model. The key feature of this model is that the maximum supply is reached at the time of Token Generation Event (TGE), after which tokens are continuously burned, and no new tokens can be minted. This ensures that the circulating supply of tokens issued under this model can only decrease over time. The model is named “Reverse Issuance Model” because it is the opposite of the current mainstream token issuance models in most web3 projects, where only a portion of the tokens are initially circulated, followed by continuous unlocking.

Many infrastructure projects supported by large VCs are characterized by low initial circulation, high Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV), and continuous large-scale unlocking, which often leads to poor performance after listing, severely damaging the confidence of the crypto community.

RIM was proposed by Pure.cash to address the challenges of the current token issuance methods in web3 projects. Particularly for projects with significant protocol revenues, launching with a more reasonable valuation and a sustainable economic model can greatly enhance the confidence of the crypto community. --- # 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.
