quantity of tokens available. mint increases it, burn decreases it. together with demand, determines price
supply in cyber is a measurable on-chain quantity — the total count of a token that exists at any given block.
every mint event adds to supply, creating new tokens through staking rewards, liquidity incentives, or protocol emissions. every burn event subtracts from supply, permanently removing tokens from circulation.
the ratio between supply and demand sets the price discovery curve. when demand grows faster than supply, price rises. when supply expands beyond what the market absorbs, price falls.
fixed-supply tokens like BOOT carry a hard cap written into genesis. elastic-supply tokens adjust through programmatic mint schedules governed by consensus.
neurons observe supply through on-chain queries. the knowledge graph tracks supply as a first-class economic particle, linking it to cap, price, and demand through cyberlinks.
supply encodes the collective memory of all past mint and burn decisions — the ledger of creation and destruction.
