PONS Founder: The buyback and burn mechanism has been automated, and the new mechanism will collect funds every seven days.

PONS founder Ozzy (@MEADGod) responded to community users’ questions about its buyback-and-burn mechanism and apologized for misunderstandings in prior communications. Earlier, user yyy posted inquiries about PONS’ buyback system, including whether escrow account funds needed to be manually transferred to the buyback allocator, why funds had not entered the allocator for over five days, the current buyback-and-burn rate of roughly $120,000 per day, and whether the promised automatic escrow fund claim feature had been implemented. Ozzy acknowledged some of the questions were valid, noting the buyback-and-burn rate had not yet been adjusted and the "claim" process had not been fully decentralized. He explained the team is conducting a contract upgrade, with the new buyback mechanism designed to execute fund claims every seven days, followed by using the claimed funds for buybacks and burns over the subsequent seven days in a continuous cycle. Currently, all buyback and burn operations are fully automated; anyone can trigger a bot to perform these actions and earn a small reward. The primary adjustment needed now is the buyback-and-burn rate. The previous rate was set at 2e per hour, which, combined with the roughly $950,000 in the Splitter (fund-splitting contract) and the seven-day cycle, aligned with the current fund size. Additionally, fund claims will run automatically every seven days, and future buyback funds will be displayed in two sections: the Active Buyback Vault (for ongoing buybacks) and funds reserved for the next cycle. Ozzy thanked the community for their feedback and again apologized for responding before fully grasping the issues. Community user yyy subsequently accepted the apology, stating that a more decentralized and automated claim and buyback-and-burn mechanism is a critical foundation for building community trust.
