# Cashback Decay Wastage

In order to increase token demand, create deflationary tokenomics and incentivize consumer spending behavior, Metadomo has created a decay wastage mechanism. Wastage is a common term in the e-voucher business. Metadomo uses it as a tokenomic advantage. 

Just like most loyalty points, $DOMO Cashback will expire, though the expiration is set as a gradual decay over time. Consumers can reset the decay timer by redeeming merchant/loyalty offers on Metadomo.

The decay wastage mechanism constantly places a higher $DOMO buy pressure on the market as there will always be less Cashback redeemed than issued. All $DOMO that has decayed is removed from the user Cashback wallet and is burned, creating overall token deflation as well.&#x20;

Earned Cashback can also be withdrawn from the Cashback wallet to the user asset wallet, where the consumer can have complete control of their $DOMO. The transfer is subject to a variable cool down period and an instant decay tax to favor Cashback redemption over withdrawals.&#x20;

Users who have higher-tiered MetaLoyalty Profiles can enjoy longer decay timers, lower decay rates, lower withdrawal cool down periods and more perks.&#x20;

Since Cashback is redeemed against merchant and loyalty program provider offers, it is beneficial for stakeholders to make $DOMO the true MetaLoyalty Point.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://metadomo.gitbook.io/metadomo-docs/usddomo-token/cashback-decay-wastage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
