# Tokenomics

This page describes how value flows through $XYNQ.

### Funding the infrastructure

$XYNQ funds the parts of XYNQ that *can't* be donated: the coordination layer, verification, telemetry, the reward pool for contributors, and continued development. Donated GPUs provide raw compute; $XYNQ provides the connective tissue that turns that compute into a reliable service.

### Buyback and burn

Half of all fees are used to **buy back $XYNQ and burn it**. As network usage grows, more value is continuously removed from circulating supply, tying the token's scarcity directly to real usage of the network.

### Public treasury

The other half flows into a **public treasury** that underwrites the network's future — funding contributor rewards, infrastructure, and development. Being public, its inflows and outflows are visible rather than hidden.

### Alignment

This structure aligns three groups:

* **Users** get free, private AI.
* **Contributors** get paid for the compute they donate.
* **The network** funds itself sustainably, with growth and token scarcity tied to genuine demand.

> Sustainable compute, owned by the people who use it.
