# Buyback & Burn

> How 20% of platform fees are used to buy back and permanently burn OVIBE every week

## How it works

Every week, 20% of all platform fees (collected in USD) are used to buy back OVIBE on the open market and permanently remove them from circulation. This is a revenue-linked deflationary mechanism — the more the platform is used, the scarcer the token gets.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Platform collects fees in USD">
    The platform earns 20% of all creator transactions (tips, subscriptions, content unlocks, DM unlocks) and 100% of AI service fees (image generation, video generation, voice messages). All fees are collected in USD.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Weekly aggregation">
    Every Monday, total platform revenue (in USD) from the past 7 days is calculated.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Burn execution">
    20% of that USD revenue is used to buy back OVIBE on Solana DEXs and permanently burn them. The burn transaction is recorded on-chain.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Revenue sources that feed the burn

| Source              | Platform fee  | Burn contribution     |
| ------------------- | ------------- | --------------------- |
| Subscriptions       | 20% of price  | 20% of platform's 20% |
| Tips                | 20% of amount | 20% of platform's 20% |
| Content unlocks     | 20% of price  | 20% of platform's 20% |
| DM unlocks          | 20% of price  | 20% of platform's 20% |
| AI image generation | 80% of cost   | 20% of platform's 80% |
| AI video generation | 80% of cost   | 20% of platform's 80% |
| AI voice messages   | 80% of cost   | 20% of platform's 80% |

## Why buyback-and-burn?

The most credible deflationary mechanism in crypto is one tied to real revenue — not arbitrary supply burns.

Projects like Hyperliquid (97% of fees to buyback), Jupiter (50% of fees), and Raydium (12% of fees) have proven that revenue-linked burns create sustainable value. Our 20% burn rate is conservative by design, with the option for governance votes to increase it as the platform grows.

<Info>
  Unlike one-time supply burns that are common in memecoin launches, our burn is continuous and directly proportional to platform usage. More users = more transactions = more tokens burned.
</Info>

## Token security

Both **mint authority** and **freeze authority** are revoked at launch:

* No new OVIBE can ever be minted beyond the fixed 1 billion supply
* No wallets can ever be frozen by the platform
* Buyers can verify this on-chain at any time

## Future: governance-tiered burn rate

The current burn rate is 20% of platform fees. As the platform grows, token holders will be able to vote on adjusting this rate through governance — giving the community direct influence over the token's deflationary trajectory.
