### Why to mint Nuon

Holding Nuon in a non-custodial wallet provides users with liquid yields in Nuon. Extra Nuon equal to current inflation as measured by Truflation CPI is rebased, in real-time, into Nuon holders' wallets. 

#### Inflation Yield

When holding Nuon, yields are automatically deposited into wallets holding Nuon\*: 

* Rebase mechanism increases the Nuon balance automatically.
* Yield rate corresponds to real-world inflation (\~2–3%) as measured by Truflation CPI.
* Yields are rebased in real time. 
* No yield is applied during deflation (i.e., yield only occurs when inflation > 0).

\*When staked, Nuon is deposited into the stake for compounding effects. 

\*\*During the unbonding time, yields are not accrued.
