small to large cap token value accrual models differ widely across protocols:
$CC : fees paid in $CC are directly and permanently burned via Burn-and-Mint Equilibrium (BME).
$CARDS : revenue funds token buybacks through a hub wallet while also building a physical card inventory treasury, creating a hybrid backing model with partial burns.
$SKY: USDS revenue is used to buy $SKY on the open market and distribute it to stakers, although the model has recently shifted toward directing more surplus into reserves instead of full buybacks.
$ZINC : revenue flows into the treasury and buyback vault, where SOL is used to buy $ZINC, with 90% burned and 10% distributed to stakers.
$WLFI : 100% of liquidity fees are used for open-market buybacks followed by permanent burns, as mandated by governance.
@Polymarket : taker fees, after 20–25% maker rebates, flow to the protocol treasury for operations and growth, with no token buyback mechanism.
$HYPE : 97–99% of fees flow to the Assistance Fund for continuous market buybacks of $HYPE, which are held in the fund for supply reduction, with some governance-led burns.
my friend @goingonchain asked so i thought to share it here :)
