At erable°, we aim to create a more sustainable and equitable financial ecosystem. A key part of that mission is our Buyback & Burn program, designed to enhance the value of our native token, $ERA, while reinforcing our commitment to the community.

This deflationary mechanism triggers each time we onboard a new project on our fundraising platforms — erable° and WE DO GOOD — to repurchase and permanently remove $ERA tokens from circulation. The result? A more scarce and valuable token, increased transparency, and alignment with our stakeholders’ interests.

How Does the Buyback & Burn Program Work?

1. Project Onboarding:

  • The program activates with the onboarding of each new impact-driven project on the erable° and WE DO GOOD platforms.
  • This approach links the buyback process directly to the growth and success of projects supported by the platforms.

2. Token Repurchase:

  • A portion of the activity generated during project onboarding is allocated to buying $ERA tokens from the open market.
  • This ensures consistent demand for $ERA and ties its value to real-world project activity.

3. Token Burn:

  • The purchased tokens are sent to a burn address (0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD), making them permanently inaccessible.
  • This reduces the overall circulating supply of $ERA, increasing scarcity over time.

4. Transparency:

  • All transactions are verifiable on-chain, providing the community with full visibility into the process.

Why is This Important?

  • Deflationary Impact:
    By reducing the supply of $ERA tokens, the Buyback & Burn mechanism creates scarcity, which can drive up the token’s value as demand increases.
  • Transparency:
    The program is fully on-chain, meaning every buyback and burn transaction is visible to anyone. This ensures accountability and builds trust within the community.
  • Community Alignment:
    The program aligns the success of the erable° ecosystem with the interests of $ERA holders. As more impactful projects are onboarded, the frequency and scale of buybacks increase, reinforcing the value and engagement within the ecosystem.

Real-Time Dashboard

To keep the community informed, a Buyback & Burn Dashboard is accessible on a Notion page. Here’s what you can track:

  • Total Burned Tokens: Cumulative $ERA burned since the program began.
  • Percentage of Circulating Supply Burned: A running total of how much of the supply has been permanently removed.
  • Recent Transactions: Detailed information about each buyback, including transaction IDs and burn amounts.

Future Enhancements

As erable° expands its ecosystem, additional activities and offerings will be integrated into the Buyback & Burn program. This means more frequent burns and a stronger link between the platform’s growth and $ERA’s value.Examples of future revenue sources include:

  • New financial products introduced by erable°
  • Era°hub 👀?

These expansions will make the program even more impactful over time.

FAQs

1. How can I verify that tokens are being burned?

  • Every buyback and burn transaction is logged on the blockchain. You can find transaction IDs on the dashboard and verify them on-chain.

2. How often does the Buyback & Burn take place?

  • The program is conducted monthly, ensuring regular updates to the $ERA ecosystem.

3. What’s the ultimate goal of the program?

  • To align $ERA’s value with the success of the projects financed through erable° and WE DO GOOD while creating long-term benefits for token holders.

4. How can I provide feedback or suggest improvements?

  • We welcome community feedback! Reach out via Discord or email us at token@erable.com.
