# What is The Lava Lake?

<mark style="color:purple;">**The Lava Lake is where a total of 6% of buys/sell transaction goes**</mark><mark style="color:purple;">.</mark> As volume increases, our Lava Lake grows in size, increasing through self-fulfilling Auto-Compounding, reducing the circulating supply and keeping the Yieldzard protocol stable and making the current supply more scarce.\

**The Lava Lake wallet is a blank null wallet and no one can ever access it. It has no keys associated with it and nothing can be retrieved from it ever. It is also known as the dead wallet.**

The biggest beneficiary of this deflationary mechanism is the individual $YLZ, which grows increasingly scarce and valuable as more is sent to the Lava Lake to never return due to it being a null wallet address.
