"title": "ACE Capital Policy",
"policy": {
"flow": "3% of qualifying, finalized Solana USDC X402 receipts is allocated to buy ACE in the market and burn the ACE acquired. Allocation and completed burns are reported separately.",
"scope": "The budget is based on actual qualifying USDC received, not all platform revenue, Credits face value, payment quotes or ACE supply. Credits purchases are counted once; later spending of those Credits is not counted again.",
"historical": "Previously acquired ACE remains project-held inventory. The new payment-linked burn policy applies to qualifying new receipts and does not retroactively convert historical inventory into burn obligations. Retaining this inventory preserves flexibility for future platform and ecosystem needs; any specific allocation will be disclosed when approved.",
"capital": "Platform income funds infrastructure, engineering, operations, growth and reserves. Creator Fees and project token inventory are disclosed separately from the new payment-linked burn ledger.",
"budget_note": "The previous standalone 2% Platform Revenue and 10% Creator Fees buyback allocations have been discontinued. Future buyback-and-burn allocations follow the new 3% qualifying X402 receipt flow; no separate periodic buyback budget is added. Historical inventory remains retained and does not offset the new allocation.",
"faq": [
{
"question": "Why is previously bought-back ACE not being burned?",
"answer": "Historical buybacks and the new payment-linked buy-and-burn flow follow separate policies. Historical ACE is retained as disclosed project inventory to preserve future platform and ecosystem flexibility. It is neither included in completed burn totals nor used to replace the new 3% allocation."
},
{
"question": "How much is the monthly 3% allocation?",
"answer": "Monthly allocation equals qualifying finalized USDC receipts in that month multiplied by 3%. For example, 10,000 USDC in qualifying receipts produces a 300 USDC budget. The ACE quantity depends on actual market execution; there is no fixed monthly token amount."
},
{
"question": "Does the new mechanism include market buybacks?",
"answer": "Yes. The flow buys ACE with the allocated USDC and then burns the acquired ACE. A purchase and a burn are separate on-chain transactions; neither pending allocations nor liquidity deposits are counted as completed ACE burns."
},
{
"question": "What happened to the previous buyback allocations?",
"answer": "The standalone Platform Revenue 2% and Creator Fees 10% buyback allocations have stopped. Future buybacks follow the new 3% qualifying X402 receipt flow and burn the ACE acquired. Historical transaction records retain the allocation labels that applied when those transactions occurred."
},
{
"question": "Does this introduce staking or yield?",
"answer": "The 3% mechanism does not introduce staking rewards, yield or revenue distributions to holders. It uses qualifying payments to fund ACE purchases and burns."
