I've just heard about a staking model which doesn't raise the supply. what??

can somebody tell me if this is technically possible?

Easy,
2 different ways

Have a very low interest rate on Staking, and then burn the transactions fees.
You can burn more supply in fees, than is created by staking, thereby stabilizing the supply.
This can even decrease the supply over time as usage increases.
ZEIT is an example of this.

or

Don't have an interest rate on staking and only credit the transaction fees as a reward for staking.
Supply is a fixed constant and never increases or decreases.
NXT & ECC are examples.

* Most PoS coins based on peercoin's Proof of stake design burn the transaction fees.*

-snip-
Recent example XLM was burned around 50% of its supply.

the two of them are completely different.
the XLM burn was a one time thing when the owners of this centralized coin decide to burn a portion of the supply that they owned. so they did that 1 time thing.
what bitmover posted is a constant burn on each transaction, that is when you make a transaction and pay a fee a portion of it is burnt for good on that tx.

Casper suggests that. Stakers could be rewarded just by fees, and some of those fees even be burned, reducing the total supply over time. This is suggested by vitalik.

Because of the lack of high electricity consumption, there is not as much need to issue as many new coins in order to motivate participants to keep participating in the network. It may theoretically even be possible to have negative net issuance, where a portion of transaction fees is "burned" and so the supply goes down over time.
