# Burn

This mechanism was invented to balance and increase the demand for our NFTs

What happens when the NFT level is not raised successfully?

* NFT receives a +1 Burn point, the maximum value is 5, when exceeding 5, the level and Burn are reset to 0
* The NFT is sent to our special address (it will be publicly available we will write it so you can keep track of it)
* Then depending on the market situation NFT data will either be held at this address or put on the secondary market
* Placement on the secondary market is at an inflated price relative to the minimum price of this level
* All profits from the sale will be sent to the contract for further [distribution](/ten-percent-nft/the-economy/distribution.md)
