# Fee Redistribution

> How Burst fees route back into token liquidity.

Burst redistributes platform fees into the highest-volume token on the platform.

That reinforces liquidity around the market already attracting the most real demand.

<Note>
  Burst does not send protocol value away from the token layer.

  It adds that value back into the leading market's liquidity every 12 hours.
</Note>

All protocol fees collected from trading are aggregated and redistributed twice per day.

At each redistribution interval:

* the highest-volume token in that window is selected,
* all accumulated platform fees are added to that token's liquidity,
* and the leading token's pool gets deeper.

This creates a system where:

* liquidity concentrates around real demand,
* leading tokens are reinforced instead of diluted,
* and volume directly determines where value flows.

## Distribution model

Fee redistribution runs in fixed 12-hour windows.

Each window is evaluated independently.

  <Card title="During the window">

    Volume is tracked across tokens.

  <Card title="At the end of the window">
    One winning token is selected.

    The entire fee pool is added to that token's liquidity.

## How the cycle works

    Burst collects protocol fees into a central fee vault during the interval.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Volume is measured">
    Burst tracks total trading volume per token across supported execution paths.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A winner is selected">
    The highest-volume eligible token in that window becomes the redistribution target.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fees are added to liquidity">
    The full interval fee pool is added to that token's Meteora DAMM v2 liquidity.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Fee accumulation

All protocol fees for the interval are collected into a central fee vault.

This can include:

* trading fees,
* and protocol fees from execution.

Fees are not distributed in real time.

They are:

* aggregated over the full interval,
* then processed in one redistribution event.

## Volume tracking

During each interval, Burst tracks total trading volume per token.

Volume is based on:

* aggregate executed trade value,
* across all supported execution paths,
* normalized into a consistent unit such as SOL or USD equivalent.

At the end of the window:

* all eligible tokens are ranked by total volume,
* and the highest-volume token is selected.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="What volume decides">
    The winning token is the one with the highest total interval volume.

    Volume is the routing signal.
  </Card>

  <Card title="What can limit selection">
    Only active tokens are considered.

    Minimum activity thresholds can also be applied to avoid edge cases.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

If no token meets the required threshold:

* redistribution can be skipped,
* or carried forward into a later window.

## Fee injection

Once the winning token is selected, the accumulated fees are added to that token's Meteora DAMM v2 liquidity.

That increases available liquidity and market depth.

<Tip>
  Burst uses fee flow to reinforce the market already proving it has the most demand.
</Tip>

## Execution timing

Redistribution runs on a fixed schedule.

It executes every 12 hours on protocol-defined interval boundaries.

## Practical effect

Most launchpads extract fees away from active markets.

Burst feeds those fees back into the strongest token's liquidity every window.

That makes liquidity more concentrated.

It makes winning tokens stronger.

And it turns trading volume into the direct routing signal for where protocol value compounds.
