Buyback and referral

Automatic buyback

The protocol keeps 60% of the 1% trading fee. A quarter of that share is set aside for the official token: once a day, the accumulated amount buys AST on PancakeSwap and sends it straight to the burn address, in a single transaction. The rest of the protocol's share funds the hedging account behind the vaults.

• When: once every 24 hours, as soon as at least $20 has been set aside. Smaller amounts wait for the next day.
• Where to check: the Buyback page lists every operation with its transaction, the total burned, and the time of the next buyback.
• Manual buybacks: the treasury also bought and burned AST by hand before the automation existed. They are listed on the same page, with two transactions each.

Referral

Every wallet has an invite link. When a friend opens ast.fun through it and links their wallet, you earn 10% of the protocol's share of every trading fee they pay, for as long as they trade. On a $100 trade, the fee is $1, the protocol keeps $0.60 and you receive $0.06.

• Linking: your friend confirms the invite with one free signature before their first trade. No transaction, no approval, and their fees don't change.
• Who can be linked: only wallets that have never traded on ast.fun, once, for good. You can't refer yourself, and two wallets can't refer each other.
• Payouts: in USDT, to your wallet, once a week, from $5. Everything is on the Invite friends page: your link, your friends, your earnings and each payout's transaction.
