$BNKR buyback

New pools allocate 5% of each collected trading fee to the $BNKR buyback wallet. This is half of the protocol's total 10% share; the other half goes to the Bankr treasury. pools.fun has no token of its own: the buyback is in $BNKR, and the $BNKR bought is burned.

Allocation is not execution​

The fee split happens in kind. Depending on the pool, the buyback wallet may receive the launch token, WETH, USDG, or a Robinhood Stock Token.

Those assets are used to buy and burn $BNKR, but moving assets into the wallet does not buy $BNKR automatically. A buyback has executed only when a separate on-chain transaction swaps wallet assets for $BNKR, and a burn only when that $BNKR is sent to the burn address. Until then, the wallet balance is inventory, not completed buy pressure.

This distinction keeps the record verifiable:

  • Fee-collection transactions show what entered the wallet.
  • Buyback transactions show what was actually swapped for $BNKR.
  • Burn transactions show what was actually removed from supply.
  • A wallet balance alone must not be reported as purchased or burned $BNKR.

Legacy pools​

Pools launched under the earlier contracts keep their original fee splits and destinations. The 5% buyback allocation applies only to pools launched under the new suite.
