## How to Confirm ARBI Supply for yourself

To confirm that the circulating ARBI supply shown on the ArbiSwap homepage is correct,

&#x20;Head to the ARBI token contract on ArbiScan and see how much ARBI is held by the Burn Address. That's the total amount of ARBI that's been burned (removed from circulation FOREVER, and impossible to ever retrieve).

Then, subtract this burned amount from the "Total Supply" that ArbiScan shows.

Voila,This gives you the actual ARBI supply.

## Does ARBI have a hard cap?

Yes, ARBI now has a hard cap of 25000000

## How ARBI supply is reduced

The chefs aim to **make deflation higher than emission** by building deflationary mechanisms into ArbiSwap products. The goal is for more ARBI to leave circulation than the amount of ARBI that's produced.
