How TWAP works.
Trading fees fund regular token buybacks. Each buyback burns the tokens it buys, reducing the total supply.
TWAP spreads those purchases over time. You can follow the fees, buys and burns on the dashboard.
- 01
Trading generates fees
A share of the fees from token trading is set aside for buybacks.
- 02
Buybacks happen over time
The funds are split into smaller purchases, spaced apart.
- 03
Purchased tokens are burned
The tokens bought by TWAP are permanently removed from the supply.
Where do the fees go?
The current token has a 2% creator fee. Creator fees are the share of trading fees paid to the project. Once received, they are split between buybacks and the project treasury:
| 80% for buybacks | Buys back and burns the same token. |
|---|---|
| 20% for treasury | Goes to the project’s treasury wallet. |
For example, 1 ETH in received creator fees provides 0.8 ETH for buybacks and 0.2 ETH for the treasury.
When do buybacks happen?
Buybacks are spaced at least 10 minutes apart. The gap is measured from the last completed buy.
Fees collect automatically. Once at least 0.03 ETH is set aside for buybacks, a new batch can begin. A batch is simply a pot of funds split into a series of purchases — normally 3 buys.
For example, a 0.3 ETH batch can buy 0.1 ETH of tokens at 12:00, another 0.1 ETH at 12:10, and the final 0.1 ETH at 12:20.
Each purchase is capped at 2 ETH, so larger batches take more buys to finish. New fees build up for the next batch. These purchase limits and the minimum gap are built into the buyback contract.
What does burning mean?
Burning permanently destroys tokens. They are removed from the total supply and cannot be traded again.
Every completed TWAP buyback burns the tokens it receives in the same transaction. Your own tokens stay in your wallet.
Follow the activity
The dashboard brings the main numbers together:
| Fees received | Creator fees collected by the project. |
|---|---|
| Buyback ETH spent | How much ETH has been spent buying tokens. |
| Tokens burned | How many tokens TWAP has permanently removed. |
| Supply burned | The percentage of the original supply burned by TWAP. |
| Next buyback | The countdown or current buyback status. |
You can also see the money in the current batch and funds waiting for the next one.
Check a buyback yourself
In the dashboard’s Activity section, choose Buys & burns. Each row shows the ETH spent and the tokens burned.
Once the token is live, open a transaction link to see its public record on the blockchain.
What’s next: a TWAP launchpad
We plan to add a launchpad where creators can launch new tokens. 20% of all fees generated by the launchpad will fund TWAP buybacks and burns of the platform token.
Those purchases will also be spread out over time. As the launchpad earns fees, it will help fund more platform-token buybacks.
This will add a new source of buyback funding alongside the current token’s creator fees.
A few common questions
What does TWAP stand for?
Time-weighted average price. Here, it means spreading purchases over time instead of making one large buy.
Do I need to stake my tokens?
No. You can hold them in your own wallet. Buybacks and burns run automatically.
Do holders receive the fees directly?
The buyback share is used to buy and burn tokens. It is not paid out to individual holders.
What if trading slows down?
Already funded buybacks can continue. Once those funds run out, the system waits for more fees.
Does it work after the token moves to Uniswap?
Yes. The buyback system supports both the initial Pons market and the token’s Uniswap pool.
