@mhs those are not completely separate issues, three of the twelve ideas proposed for enhancing the $CTSI utility—Loyalty Programs, Buisness Partnerships and Educational Incentives —along with the [Noether proposal](https://governance.cartesi.io/t/noether-as-a-dynamically-adjusting-permissionless-governance-incentivization-system/208) share a common concern: the reliance on inflation as a payment source.

Additionally, the Token Burning concept directly impacts the token supply by reducing it.

The challenge here is to balance the need for increasing $CTSI’s utility with the imperative of maintaining its economic stability.

On the other hand, I really like those ones:

- Integration with dApps
- Cross-chain Interoperability
- NFT Integration
- Microtransactions and Tipping
- DeFi Services
- Charitable Use
- Supply Chain Use
- Remittances

These ideas leverage existing features of the token or aim to create new ones that will remain as permanent upgrades, without relying on future funding.
