# Buyback & Burn Mechanism

**How It Works**

* Fees are collected **in $OHT tokens, instantly swap to BNB** and stored in the smart contract.
* During buyback execution:
  1. The contract uses stored BNB to buy **$OHT from the market and sends it to the dead address.**
  2. This creates **trading volume**, attracting new buyers.
  3. **20% of the tax collected during buybacks** goes back into the contract, fueling **future rewards and buybacks.**

#### **Why Not Burn Directly?**

Instead of directly burning tokens, our system **triggers market activity** by selling, buying back, and burning. This **boosts trading volume, creates more rewards for holders, and generates hype around each buyback event.**
