# $SIG Mechanism Explained

$SIG is the high-frequency circulation and settlement currency within the MIURO ecosystem.

### Main Use Cases

* B2B merchants mint SIG as rewards when playing music.
* Creators earn SIG through AI generation and copyright circulation.
* SIG serves as the pricing unit for copyright settlement.

### 72-Hour Burn Rule

#### Core Anti-Inflation Design

This is an important mechanism for preventing uncontrolled token issuance in MIURO.

After a merchant plays music, SIG is minted and enters a 72-hour pending settlement pool.

If no consumer-side conversion occurs within 72 hours, meaning there is no real user consumption, 100% of the SIG is burned.

If conversion occurs, 80% is burned and 20% is released to the merchant.

#### Design Purpose

The purpose is to strictly anchor SIG supply to real demand and prevent “fake traffic mining”.

### Four-Layer Anti-Farming Verification for SIG

* Playback devices must be registered on-chain, with one address per device.
* A single song must be played for at least 30 seconds.
* The same device can count the same song a maximum of 6 times within 24 hours.
* Playback time must match the business hours of the geographic location registered for the device.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.miuro.ai/token-economy/usdsig-mechanism-explained.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
