### Program Overview

The **STBU Utility Payment Program** is designed to incentivize the use of **STBU**, the Stobox utility token, as a payment method for Stobox products and services.

Clients who choose to settle eligible invoices in STBU receive a **25% price reduction** on applicable services, while simultaneously contributing to a **deflationary token model** through scheduled token burns.

This program is intended to:

* Increase real-world utility of STBU
* Encourage ecosystem participation by issuers and clients
* Align platform usage with token-economic sustainability

### Preferential Pricing Structure

When eligible Stobox services are paid in STBU:

* The invoiced amount receives a **25% discount**
* Payment must be settled **entirely in STBU**
* Standard fiat or stablecoin pricing applies when STBU is not used

#### Example

* Standard service price: USD 100,000
* Payment in STBU: USD 75,000 equivalent in STBU
* Discount received: USD 25,000 (25%)

***

### Token Burn Mechanism

To support a sustainable and deflationary token economy:

* **25% of all STBU tokens received under this program are permanently burned**
* Burned tokens are removed from circulation and are non-recoverable
* Burns are executed as part of Stobox’s internal token-economic policy

This mechanism directly links:

* Platform revenue
* Token utility
* Long-term supply reduction
