AI Evaluation Notes

The prediction stated that Hedera (HBAR) would be a deflationary token by default due to its fixed, non-inflationary supply. While HBAR does have a fixed total supply of 50 billion tokens, making it non-inflationary in terms of new token minting, the concept of being 'deflationary by default' is more nuanced. Deflation typically implies a decreasing circulating supply, often through burning mechanisms. Sources are contradictory on whether native HBAR tokens are burned, with some explicitly stating that HBAR cannot be burned, which would prevent a systematic reduction in circulating supply simply by default of its fixed supply.
