Balanced Boost is designed to be '''self-liquidating.''' As subscription revenue grows and early supporters' initial contribution is repaid (via the 25% allocation in the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Subscriptions|four-lot model]]), their need for rewards diminishes. Eventually, nearly 100% of subscription revenue can flow to ecosystem Miles and community projects.
