However, these functions are only executed when a person (or another smart contract) requests them and pays the associated gas fees.

	Decentralized finance (DeFi) leverages blockchain technology to offer financial services, such as borrowing, lending, and trading, without the need for traditional financial intermediaries like banks. However, entering the world of cryptocurrency still requires a point of contact with the traditional banking system, as you need to purchase Bitcoin or Ethereum using fiat currency.

The random and uncorrelated action of all these actors results ultimately in the price oscillations we see in the relative prices.

			These closed ecosystem of four cryptocurrencies has additional advantages over single cryptos. In other proof of work cryptocurrencies, when the mining supply is cut in half, the token becomes unprofitable to mine overnight, and many miners go out of business.

			there is nothing they can do but wait until the markets adjust to the newly provoked scarcity. In Seasonal Tokens, miners can shift their mining power to the other 3 tokens. This will produce an abundance of the other 3 tokens, and traders, who anticipate this can invest in the token whose mining supply was cut in half. Because the scarcity of the token will put upward pressure on the token price relative to the other 3.

			By doing this, traders help the mining economy, effectively subsidizing the production of the unprofitable token.

			This collaboration emerges without any of the participants being aware of it. Everybody acts on their own interest and this benefits the system.

			Therefore we see how, besides the decentralization involved in verifying network transactions, other subtle forms of decentralization may arise purely from economic principles, without the need of any form of governance or central planing.

The halving of mining supply for each token will occur every 3 years. But their halving are staggered so that every 9 months one of the tokens mining supply will be halved.This is the only relation between these four smart contracts. They are totally independent.

			But if we look at the price action of the four tokens on the same graph we can see that a pattern emerges, the prices are oscillating around each other. This is not coded anywhere in the smart contracts, so how does this happen?

	In spite of their name, a smart contract is more like a jukebox, it sits there doing nothing unless somebody puts a coin in the sloth an asks for a song.		In spite of their name, a smart contract is more like a jukebox, it sits there doing nothing unless somebody puts a coin in the sloth an asks for a song.
			The smart contract supports the functionality of the token and actively manages and executes all operations associated with it, which includes the token's issuance, transfer mechanics, and balance tracking.
			But all these functions are executed only if a person (or another smart contract) asks for it and pays the gas fees associated with operating the function.

			Maybe an analogy will be useful understanding how this complex behavior emerges from simple instructions in the smart contracts.

			If we think of the relationship between flowers and bees, we see that bees are working for the flowers by carrying the pollen from one flower to another. However, the bees are not interested at all in pollinaing the flowers, all they care about is to collect food for the hive. It is a relationship where all parts act on their own interest but nonetheless the collective interest is fulfilled.

			In similar fashion, the four smart contracts attract the attention of many actors, none of them is interested in forming those price oscillations. It is safe to say that most of them only want to make money.

			Some actors can make money by mining the tokens. Others can make money by trading tokens, others by providing liquidity to the decentralized markets. Others make money by exploiting price fluctuations, others by exploiting price differences on different markets.

Decentralized finance utilizes blockchain technology to provide financial services such as borrowing, lending, and trading without the need for traditional financial intermediaries like banks.

			The main feature of blockchain technology is to eliminate the need of trusted third parties.

			The problem with electronic transactions is that if two persons want to exchange digital assets they have to trust each other.

			For example if Alice and Bob want to exchange documents, Alice may send the document to Bob,but Bob may decide not to send his document.

			The only way to solve this problem is the use of an escrow system,
			where both Alice and Bob trust a third party to keep the documents until both parties fulfill their obligation.

			The escrow receives Alice's and Bob's documents, and delivers the documents only if the two documents were handed in.

			Bitcoin's blockchain functions precisely as an automated escrow system where people can exchange the digital assets without the need to trust a third party.

			The blockchain functions as the trusted third party.


			Many DeFi projects use blockchain technology to function like an automated escrow system.

	Similarly, the four smart contracts attract various actors, none of whom are specifically aiming to create price oscillations. It is likely that most are primarily interested in making money. These actors might engage in different activities such as mining tokens, trading them, providing liquidity to decentralized markets, or capitalizing on price fluctuations and arbitrage opportunities. The random and uncoordinated actions of all these participants ultimately result in the observed price oscillations of the tokens.
