# 7. Ec³ Credit

**Ec³ Credit** is a fuel token pegged to the US dollar, used to pay for all transaction fees within the Ec³ network. This includes purchases of Ec cubes, distributed energy, data transactions, and more. Ec³ Credit can be obtained by burning ECT.

The price of a single Ec³ Credit is fixed at **0.00001 USD**. That is to say, at any time, 1 USD can be exchanged for 100,000 Ec³ Credits.

Ec³ Credit can only be generated by burning HNT. The amount of Ec³ Credit produced by burning a unit of ECT will fluctuate based on the price of ECT. For example, if the price of ECT is 0.5 USD, burning one ECT will yield 50,000 Ec³ Credits.

The design of ECT and Ec³ Credit is based on the Burn-And-Mint Equilibrium (BME) model, which aims to adjust the supply of ECT according to the usage volume of the network. This way, when burning and minting reach a balance, the circulation of ECT can remain stable.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ec-cube.io/tokenomic/7.-ec-credit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
