Burn & Buyback
Explains proposed fee-funded burn and buyback mechanisms that purchase $GET for permanent removal or treasury-held potential staking yield.
Burn and buyback are separate proposed mechanisms. Both would use routed fees to purchase $GET, but the purchased tokens have different destinations.
WARNING
Burn and buyback are separate proposed mechanisms, not active systems.
Comparison
| Mechanism | Action | Destination | Intended effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burn | Buy $GET | Dead address | Reduce circulating supply |
| Buyback | Buy $GET | Treasury | Support the staking-yield mechanism |
Burn
The proposed design allocates 10% of each routed fee to burn activity.
- The protocol uses the allocation to purchase $GET.
- It sends the purchased $GET to
0xdead. - The tokens are permanently removed from circulation.
This creates a proposed permanent burn path linked to fee activity. It does not guarantee deflation, scarcity, or token appreciation.
Buyback
The proposed design allocates 10% of each routed fee to buyback activity.
- The protocol uses the allocation to purchase $GET.
- It retains the purchased $GET in the protocol treasury.
- The treasury balance is intended as a potential source for staking yield.
The proposed design does not define a staking-yield formula or guarantee yield.
Fee allocation specification
The proposed default fee split is:
| Destination | Proposed allocation |
|---|---|
| Creator | 60% |
| Burn | 10% |
| Buyback | 10% |
| Protocol | 10% |
| Total specified | 90% |
| Unspecified | 10% |
DANGER
The current model accounts for 90% of routed fees. The remaining 10% requires definition before implementation and is not assigned to burn, buyback, or another destination.
