# 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.

## 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://proofofnowork.gitbook.io/proof-of-no-work-whitepaper/proof-of-no-work.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
