# V. Controls and Safety Valves

* All minting volume still requires **MCL (Minting Cap Laboratory) approval**
* If estimated minting volume is projected to exceed the supply safety boundary, EM will automatically limit the debt ratio or implement deceleration procedures
* RCM's adjustments are "recommended ratios" and will not forcibly trigger excessive issuance

#### Advantages and Mechanism Highlights

<table><thead><tr><th width="205">Advantages</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Intelligent ratio control</td><td>Dynamically adjusts based on actual lifetime and compound debt, improving resource allocation efficiency</td></tr><tr><td>Self-replenishing capability through EM integration</td><td>No longer relies on active minting; each bond transaction becomes a replenishment window</td></tr><tr><td>Prevention of bubble and inflation risks</td><td>EM paired with MCL precisely controls issuance pace, avoiding excessive dilution</td></tr><tr><td>Increased transparency and market confidence</td><td>No forced minting; all supply adjustments stem from actual user behavior</td></tr></tbody></table>
