When do buybacks happen?
Understanding INFINITY's automated buyback system and mining cost floor
When Do Buybacks Happen?
INFINITY's buyback system is completely automated and creates a dynamic price floor based on mining costs. No manual intervention, no team decisions—just pure mathematics protecting your investment.
Automatic Triggering Conditions
The Formula
Buybacks activate when market price drops below mining cost:
Buyback Trigger Price = 0.045 / epoch_reward_amount
Current Mining Cost Schedule
As mining rewards decrease, the price floor increases:
Epoch | Reward Amount ($8) | Buyback Trigger Price (S) | Status |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 7.52 | 0.0060 | ✅ Complete |
2 | 6.55 | 0.0069 | ✅ Complete |
3 | 5.71 | 0.0079 | ✅ Complete |
4 | 4.98 | 0.0090 | ✅ Complete |
5 | 4.34 | 0.0104 | ✅ Complete |
6 | 3.78 | 0.0119 | ✅ Complete |
7 | 3.30 | 0.0136 | 🔄 Current |
8+ | Decreasing | Increasing | 🔮 Future |
What This Means
- Price floor rises as mining rewards decrease
- Automatic protection against crashes below mining cost
- No team intervention required
- Mathematical certainty of price support
How Buybacks Work
1. Price Monitoring
- Continuous tracking of $8/S market price
- Oracle integration for accurate price feeds
- Smart contract automation eliminates human error
- Real-time activation when conditions are met
2. Treasury Utilization
- FeeM revenue funds the buyback program
- Automated execution when treasury has sufficient funds
- Sustainable model doesn't rely on team funding
- Transparent tracking of all buyback transactions
3. Burn Mechanism
All buyback tokens are permanently destroyed:
- Burn address:
0x8888888888888888888888888888888888888888
- Permanent removal from circulating supply
- Deflationary impact increases over time
- Mathematical scarcity creation
Economic Impact
Price Floor Creation
- Dynamic floor that rises with each epoch
- Market efficiency through arbitrage opportunities
- Miner incentives to buy instead of mine when profitable
- Natural equilibrium between mining and market price
Supply Reduction
Every buyback permanently reduces supply:
- Tokens burned never return to circulation
- Scarcity increases with each buyback event
- Long-term deflation built into the system
- Value accrual to remaining token holders
Tracking Buyback Activity
Official FeeM Dashboard
Monitor all buyback activity in real-time:
- Live dashboard: 8finity.xyz/feem
- All-time earnings: Total FeeM revenue collected
- Current treasury size: Available funds for buybacks
- All-time deployments: How treasury funds were used
- Buyback history: Complete record of all buybacks
On-Chain Verification
All buyback transactions are publicly verifiable:
- Treasury contract: View real-time balance
- Burn transactions: Track tokens sent to burn address
- Price data: Verify trigger conditions were met
- Transparent operations: No hidden mechanisms
Why This System Works
Automatic Execution
- No human intervention required
- Mathematical precision in trigger conditions
- Reliable operation 24/7/365
- Immune to emotions or market manipulation
Sustainable Funding
- FeeM revenue provides consistent funding
- Growing treasury as ecosystem expands
- Self-reinforcing cycle of usage and buybacks
- Independent of token price for sustainability
Aligned Incentives
- Miners benefit from price floor protection
- Holders benefit from supply reduction
- Traders benefit from arbitrage opportunities
- Ecosystem benefits from sustainable economics
Strategic Implications
For Miners
- Cost calculation becomes easier with known floor
- Mining vs. buying decision simplified
- Profitability protection against market crashes
- Long-term viability of mining operations
For Traders
- Arbitrage opportunities between mining cost and market
- Risk assessment improved with known support levels
- Floor validation through automated system
- Confidence boost from mathematical backing
For Long-Term Holders
- Downside protection through buyback floor
- Supply reduction benefits through burns
- Sustainable model creates long-term value
- Peace of mind from automated protection
Future Buyback Evolution
As Mining Rewards Decrease
- Higher price floors with each epoch reduction
- Stronger support levels as mining becomes expensive
- Transition to deflation as mining rewards approach zero
- Treasury accumulation continues through FeeM
Long-Term Sustainability
- FeeM revenue growth funds larger buybacks
- Network effects increase treasury income
- Compound benefits as system matures
- Automatic value accrual to token holders
The buyback system isn't just price support—it's the foundation of INFINITY's sustainable economics. Every buyback makes the token scarcer, every burn makes holders richer, and every FeeM payment makes the system stronger.
