# Introduction - Basis

## What is Debt?

 

DEBT is an automatic yield generator using a unique concept called "the debt protocol". It allows people to earn DEBT tokens over time and automatically without increasing the supply and without taking any transaction fees.

The DEBT token was developed completely from scratch. It is therefore unique and not forked. It’s a BSC-20 token.
