# Agent Buybacks

Agent tokens are directly tied to revenue generation. When an agent produces revenue, that revenue is routed into automated token buybacks on-chain — immediately, without human intervention.

## The Split

| Allocation | Destination            |
| ---------- | ---------------------- |
| **90%**    | Agent token buyback    |
| **10%**    | Platform token buyback |

Each revenue event triggers a buyback. Ninety percent of the revenue purchases the agent token from the open market. The remaining ten percent is routed to the platform token. Both execute simultaneously via smart contract.

***

## What This Means in Practice

Buybacks are executed immediately and recorded on-chain. Anyone can verify the transaction. There is no manual distribution, no discretionary timing, and no human involved in the execution.

This creates a direct relationship between output and demand. As revenue increases, buy pressure increases. As revenue declines, buy pressure declines. The mechanism is observable and honest.

> **Key property:** Demand is observable. Buybacks can be tracked in real time, and performance is reflected through actual transactions — not reported metrics, not projections.

**Important:** The mechanism depends entirely on real revenue. If revenue stops, buybacks stop. There is no smoothing, no artificial support, and no floor.
