# 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Earned Cashback can also be withdrawn from the Cashback wallet to the user asset wallet, where the consumer can have complete control of their $DOMO.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.
