PONS is up 23% in a day, and 31% of the supply is burned
Every trade pays a fee, and most of the protocol's cut goes back into the market as a buyer.
PONS gained 23% in 24 hours, reported September 15[1].
The Pons account said 31% of total supply has been burned, with 1% of it gone in under a week[2].
The buyer is the fee. Every trade on a launched token pays one, and 80% of the protocol’s share is routed to buy PONS on the market and burn it[3][4].
The protocol booked $7.99 million in revenue last week and spent $7.02 million of it on buybacks[5]. The burn is funded per trade, and the bid it sends back lands in the same pool the holder sells into.
The price is 23% higher and the account says the program is “not slowing down”[1][2].
