# $XYNQ

**$XYNQ** is the token that funds and sustains the network. It is what makes free-for-users, paid-for-contributors economically sustainable.

### What $XYNQ is for

The token has one job: **keep the network alive and growing.** Specifically, it funds:

* the **coordination layer** (scheduling, routing, verification, telemetry),
* the **contributor reward pool** that pays people for donated compute,
* ongoing **development** of the client, models, and infrastructure.

### Why a token at all

Running a global coordination fabric isn't free, even when the GPUs are donated. Rather than monetize users through ads, subscriptions, or selling data, XYNQ funds itself through a transparent token economy aligned with the people who use and power it.

### The core loop

```
usage & demand  ->  protocol fees  ->  buyback & burn + public treasury
       ^                                          |
       |                                          v
  more capacity   <-  contributor rewards  <-  sustainable funding
```

### Fee split (summary)

Fees earned by the protocol are split two ways:

* **Half → buyback and burn** of $XYNQ (reduces supply over time).
* **Half → a public treasury** (funds the network's future).

The next pages cover tokenomics, the buyback-and-burn mechanism, and the treasury in detail.
