# Virtual Mining Mathematics

Dive into the Deflationary Mechanisms and Cost of the Mining

Miner Tokens Decrease at a rate of 1% per Day and do not Increase in Cost of Ethereum per Day to produce a Miners.

This graph showcases the progressive deflation of miners, with SHAO Tokens decreasing by 1% daily over an 88-day span, starting at 125,000 tokens on Day 1. While the cost of miners remains a fixed decimal of ETH over the 88 days, the diminishing token yield highlights the intricate design of the deflationary mechanism, emphasizing scarcity and rewarding early participants.
