# Buy and Burn/Feed

Volt combines a deflationary asset with massive buy pressure from the value coming into the protocol. 

### **Buy and Burn/Feed Mechanism**

* **80% of TitanX Value**: Allocated to the Buy and Burn/Feed mechanism.
* **Three Components**:
  * **Buy and Burn**: 42% of tokens purchased from the liquidity pool (LP) are burnt.
  * **Buy and Feed**: 50% of tokens purchased from the LP are placed in "The Volt" for future auctions starting from Day 11.
  * **Buy and Grow:** 8% used for liquidity bonding for all TitanX protocol tokens

### Initial buy and burn  (Days 1-10)

* **Daily Allocation**:
  * **Day 1**: no burn on day 1
  * **Day 2**: 42% of the balance is used.
  * **Day 3**: 39% of the balance is used.
  * **Day 4**: 36% of the balance is used.
  * **Day 5**: 33% of the balance is used.
  * **Day 6**: 30% of the balance is used.
  * **Day 7**: 27% of the balance is used.
  * **Day 8**: 24% of the balance is used.
  * **Day 9**: 21% of the balance is used.
  * **Day 10**: 18% of the balance is used.<br>
* **Buy and Burn Calculation:**
  * Each day’s buy pressure is calculated as a percentage (e.g., 39%) of the remaining balance after subtracting the previous day's buy pressure. &#x20;
  * % of (Balance - current pressure)
  * For example:
    * Day 3: Buy pressure = 39% of (Balance - Day 2's buy pressure)
    * Day 10: Buy pressure = 18% of (Balance - Day 9's buy pressure)

This approach introduces unpredictability and allows for fluctuating buy-and-burn amounts, with some days experiencing slightly larger burns. This all done in a fully decentralised and predicable way.&#x20;

### Post Initial buy and burn (Day 11 Onwards)

* **Daily Usage**:
  * From Day 11 onwards, 15% of the Buy and Burn/Build balance is utilized each day.
  * The daily balance is divided into 288 parts, released every 5 minutes.
  * Unused portions will accumulate, similar to the Blaze and Inferno protocols.

### Decentralization

* **Fully Decentralized Process**:
  * The Buy and Burn process operates under pre-established, transparent rules.
  * These rules ensure clarity on the amount of tokens that will be burnt, maintaining the integrity and predictability of the protocol.
