# Our Buyback Protocol

Driving Scarcity, Value, and Long-Term Sustainability

Yin DAO employs a proven buyback strategy designed to increase the scarcity and long-term value of our $YIN token. We allocate 10% of all protocol profits to strategically repurchase $YIN from the open market. All repurchased tokens are immediately sent to the community treasury, reducing the circulating supply. This scarcity directly enhances the fundamental value potential of every $YIN token held.
