MECHANICS / REVENUE
Where the protocol's cut goes
The 30% the protocol keeps is not the project's pocket money. 80% of everything we collect buys $AGI on the open market and burns it; 20% pays for building and running this. The rule is ours, not the contracts': it is a commitment you can check, not a mechanism you can rely on.
What counts as collected
- Model V2 launches. 30% of the 1% base fee, plus 30% of any snipe tax, claimed
from
AgiV2FeeEscrowby the protocol wallet. The creator tax never enters this. - Model V1 launches. 30% of the pool's 1% LP fee, split inside
collectFeeswith no escrow in between. - $AGI itself. It did not launch here, so it is not part of this protocol: its hook charges 2% per swap on the launchpad where it was launched, of which 1.70% reaches us.
- The bridge. A 0.30% app fee that accrues at Relay, not on chain.
How the 80% is measured
On the total collected, not per trade. No contract routes 80% of anything anywhere: the fees arrive in the protocol wallet like any other balance, and the buying and burning is a transaction we send afterwards. Nothing on chain enforces the split, and nothing would stop a future us from changing it.
What this is not
- Not automated. There is no TWAP bot and no schedule. A burn happens when we send it.
- Not immutable. This is a published rule, not a constructor immutable. If it ever changes, it changes here first, with the review date at the foot of this page.
- Not a price promise. Burning supply does not make a token go up. $AGI can go to zero with every burn executed exactly as described.
