# Proof of No Work

{% hint style="info" %}
The term "white paper" can be traced to the British government during Winston Churchhill's administration in 1922. It is called a "white paper" because once upon a time, government papers were color-coded, and they assigned the term ‘white’ to any document for public consumption.

### What Is Proof of No Work?

**Proof of No Work** is a new hyper-deflationary cryptocurrency model featuring **$PoNW** token on the **PulseChain** blockchain. **PoNW** is an automatic reflection token that generates yield via a 3% transaction tax, where 2% is automatically reflected (redistributed) to existing holders & 1% is burned (permanently removed from circulating supply). HODLing **$PoNW** earns you both a larger percentage of each reflection reward & a larger percentage holding of the total marketcap with each transaction on-chain.
