# Will staking my node on a building burn my TVL?

Small, gradual, and practical TVL burns are part of our plans, however we have not yet confirmed that any TVL will be burned when staking. Our preference is that burns will occur only when the owner of a node chooses to take an action above and beyond the typical performance or limits of their node. Final decision on this will come as we get closer to the launch of node-powered manufacturing.
