# How to Use $HBEAN (Tokenomics)

## $HBEAN Tokenomics - Generation and Burning of $HBEAN

$HBEAN is generated from an ERC-20 smart contract. After the contract deployment, only the Hyper Café approved NFT staking contracts can call the $HBEAN minting function and no other ways. All $HBEAN used at Hyper Café for IRL goods (coffee beans and other products) redemption is burned. The success of $HBEAN tokenomics is hinged on both strong community engagement and Hyper Café delivering sought-after products and services.     

## Hyper Café approved NFTs

Hyperbatch Barista Club (HBBC) and Hyperbatch Barista Friends (HBBF) are the only collections planned to be added to the Hyper Café ecosystem for staking to gain $HBEAN as staking rewards. The staking mechanisms are explained in [HBBC staking](/hyperbatch/5.-about-hyperbatch-barista-club-hbbc/what-are-hyperbatch-barista-club-hbbc-nfts/hbbc-staking.md) and [HBBF staking](/hyperbatch/6.-about-hyperbatch-barista-friends-hbbf/what-are-hyperbatch-barista-friends-hbbf-nfts/hbbf-staking.md). It is Hyperbatch's strategy to incorporate more NFT communities into the $HBEAN reward mechanisms in the long term to help Hyper Café grow.

### Hyper Café Ecosystem NFTs Criteria Guideline

* The NFT community has to be decentralized or has decentralization as one of its key development objectives.
* The NFT community has to add tangible or non-tangible value to the ecosystem and has to provide proposals for delivery.
