SDEX accrues value through 3 mechanisms: Buyback & Burn, Direct Token Burn, and Buyback & Redistribute.

• Buyback & Burn: On non-Ethereum chains (Polygon, Arbitrum, BSC, Base), collected trading fees are converted into SDEX and burned. Additionally, 8% of USDN funding rate fees are used to purchase SDEX from the market and burn them.
• Direct Token Burn: During each USDN token mint, 5% of the minted USDN amount is taken directly in SDEX from the user and burned without a market buyback step (e.g., minting 1,000 USDN burns 50 SDEX).
• Buyback & Redistribute: On Ethereum, collected trading fees are immediately converted (bought back) into SDEX tokens and then allocated to liquidity providers and staking participants, redistributing protocol revenue to active participants.

Yes, SmarDex burns or redistributes SDEX tokens via Buyback & Burn, Direct Token Burn, Buyback & Redistribute. In 2026, approximately $4.4K worth of value was returned to token holders through these mechanisms.

Yearly token holder distributions:

• 2026: $4.4K
• 2025: $10.0K
• 2023: $14.6K

SDEX serves 3 primary functions within the SmarDex ecosystem: Staking Rewards, Service Payments, and Standard 1:1. The protocol generates fees from user activity, with a portion distributed back to SDEX holders. Value flows back to token holders through Buyback & Burn, Direct Token Burn, and Buyback & Redistribute. SmarDex's fee revenue currently exceeds its token emissions, indicating a self-sustaining economic model.

Token utilities:

• Staking Rewards: SDEX holders can stake tokens to earn rewards distributed from the 37.5% long-term yield distribution pool over a 10-year emission schedule, allocated via a multiplier system across farming, staking, and community reward programs.
• Service Payments: When minting USDN tokens, 5% of the minted amount must be paid in SDEX tokens (e.g., minting 1,000 USDN requires 50 SDEX), making SDEX a required payment token for a specific protocol service.
• Standard 1:1: SmarDex Governance is fully decentralized and owned by SDEX holders, granting them collective decision-making power over protocol parameters and strategic direction through token-weighted voting.

Value accrual mechanisms:

• Buyback & Burn: On non-Ethereum chains (Polygon, Arbitrum, BSC, Base), collected trading fees are converted into SDEX and burned. Additionally, 8% of USDN funding rate fees are used to purchase SDEX from the market and burn them.
• Direct Token Burn: During each USDN token mint, 5% of the minted USDN amount is taken directly in SDEX from the user and burned without a market buyback step (e.g., minting 1,000 USDN burns 50 SDEX).
