## Tokenomics Optimization Phase 1: Burning Excess Supply
In **July 2023**, as part of **MARBLEX 3.0 Tokenomics Optimization Phase 1**, the total supply of MBX was **reduced from 1,000,000,000 to 326,372,444** **MBX** through a strategic **token burn**.
#### Why Was the Burn Necessary?
* The initial tokenomics plan reserved a **large supply for future ecosystem growth** based on market expectations.
* Given **current market conditions** and **ecosystem activity**, it was determined that the initial supply was **more than sufficient** for efficient operations.
* Burning excess tokens helped **reduce distribution pressure, increase transparency**, and **mitigate market uncertainty**.
#### How Many Tokens Were Burned?
* **673,627,556 MBX** (67.36% of the original supply) was **burned** in July 2023.
* This amount was **not included** in the [**MBX Token Distribution Schedule by 2026**](https://marblex-1.gitbook.io/1/BTfFj5qcSJE9ROtVt8cV/ecosystem/token-model/token-distribution-schedule-by-2026)**.**
* The remaining **326,372,444 MBX** includes tokens previously burned via the ecosystem’s **controlled supply model**.
#### Future Supply Adjustments
* **Remaining tokens** will be used for **long-term ecosystem operation**, following the **MBX Token Distribution Schedule by 2026**.
* The total MBX supply **may continue its decreasing trend** due to the [**Auto-Burn model**](https://marblex-1.gitbook.io/1/BTfFj5qcSJE9ROtVt8cV/ecosystem/token-model/burn-model) implemented in the MARBLEX ecosystem.
