EVERY CREATOR FEE CLAIM, SPLIT ON-CHAIN

70% BURN

Swapped for $INTERN on the open market, then sent to the dead address

20% DISTRIBUTION

Streamed in BE to everyone staking $INTERN, pro-rata and time-weighted

10% TREASURY

Ops, marketing, and expansion — sent directly, no swap

Distributions require staking $INTERN — unstake any time, no lockup. This isn't a dividend, equity, or a guaranteed return; it's a share of on-chain protocol fees, paid only to $INTERN staked at the time.

MECHANICS

How the burn works

01

Every trade pays a fee

Every $INTERN trade on Pons pays a 2% total fee (1% base + 1% creator tax) — same number as shown at the top of this page.

02

Blaze claims and burns

Blaze, the protocol's always-on burn bot, claims the accumulated fee and burns 70% of it automatically — no deploy step, no user action. This is live today, not a promise.

03

COMING SOON

Treasury buybacks

Once trading fees fund it, treasury buybacks add a second burn layer on top of deploy fees.
