# HUNT as the Reserve Token
HUNT serves as the reserve asset that powers the entire Hunt Town economy. Every Building NFT and project token is connected to HUNT through its bonding curve pool, ensuring all assets share a unified foundation of value.
Instead of relying on external liquidity providers or emissions, the Co-op builds sustainable liquidity through HUNT-backed mechanics. As more projects launch and more Buildings are minted, additional HUNT is continuously locked, making the ecosystem stronger over time.
#### Deflationary Mechanism (HUNT Lock & TVL Growth)
HUNT has a fixed total supply, meaning no new tokens are ever minted. When builders launch new tokens or backers mint Buildings, the required reserve HUNT gets locked into bonding curves, reducing circulating supply.
This mechanism drives a natural deflationary effect: as the Co-op grows, more HUNT is removed from circulation, and the overall TVL (Total Value Locked) increases. The result is a self-reinforcing economy where participation not only supports builders but also enhances the long-term value of HUNT and the Co-op itself.
