$DUEL burns
The 3% protocol rake from every battle with a winner is used to buy $DUEL on the open market and burn it.
Where the rake goes
- At finalize, the program moves 3% of the pot into the on-chain Treasury account (see Verifying for its address).
- Right after each battle finalizes, our worker moves the treasury balance to the buyback wallet. The program only lets this withdrawal go to the one buyback wallet set in its Config (shown on Verifying): no key can send the rake anywhere else. A daily run picks up anything a failed attempt left behind.
- That wallet buys $DUEL: on the pump.fun bonding curve while the token is still on it, or on PumpSwap after it migrates.
- The purchased tokens are burned. Both the buy and the burn transaction are logged.
What this is not
No promise of value
$DUEL isn't needed to use DuelX and gives no claim on the treasury, the pot or any revenue. Buybacks are discretionary: their size and timing can change or stop, and burning tokens doesn't guarantee any price. Nothing here is investment advice. See the Terms.
