Once the 200 million LISTA tokens are burned, it means the total token supply will be directly halved to 800 million, which is called a scarcity explosion in the crypto market. But burning is just the beginning of the story; the real way to make money relies on a combination of strategies.

The most classic operation process is as follows: first, use mainstream assets like BTCB as collateral to borrow USD1 stablecoins at a 1% interest rate. This rate is almost free. Then, take the USD1 to participate in a financial product on a top platform with an annualized return of 13.5%. In this way, just from the interest rate difference, you can steadily pocket profits. A $10,000 principal can earn $945 in one year, which is completely passive income.

But the story doesn't end there. Truly smart players will take some of the financial gains and use $200-$500 to buy LISTA, then lock it for 1 to 52 weeks. After locking, the system automatically generates veLISTA. What is this thing used for? It pays dividends weekly from protocol income. The first batch of veLISTA holders has already shared a $215,000 slice of the pie.

More importantly, as the ecosystem expands and application scenarios increase, the value of LISTA itself will appreciate. Looking at the total supply after burning—8 million—the long-term appreciation potential remains. Overall, the annualized return from simple financial strategies might be around 10%, but combined with veLISTA dividends and token appreciation, the total return rate can exceed 30%. That’s why many experienced users are employing this strategy of "burning to increase scarcity + governance to bind actual benefits," which is both stable and has room for imagination.
