# How $WLTH Creates Value
WLTH is designed as a closed-loop economy; every action on the platform; from investing to trading; reinforces token demand and rewards active participants. Unlike most tokens, $WLTH is not just governance or speculation; it is the engine of the WLTH ecosystem.
### How Value Flows In
* Transaction Fees: 1% fee on all $WLTH transfers; fuels the protocol.
* Marketplace Trades: 9% fee on secondary Slice sales.
* Exclusive Access Investments: 10% entry fee on pre-IPO allocations; recycled into Earn to Own campaigns.
* Profit Share: Up to 20% of profits from Exclusive Access deals; reduced to 0% if staked.
### How Value Flows Back
* Staking Utility: Stake $WLTH to cut carry fees (20% → 0%) and unlock early access to high-demand deals.
* Stakers Fund: Marketplace and protocol fees flow into the Fund, governed by the community. Profits are shared with stakers and partially burned, creating both rewards and long-term scarcity.
* Treasury Growth: Protocol profits strengthen reserves, ensuring long-term sustainability.
* Buyback & Burn (Protocol): 10% of all protocol profits are used to buy back $WLTH on the open market and permanently burn it, reducing supply over time.
* Community Incentives: Earn to Own campaigns, and staking rewards are funded directly by protocol activity.
This creates a flywheel effect:
More users → more fees → stronger Stakers Fund + treasury → bigger campaigns → higher token demand → more users.
$WLTH is both the fuel and the reward of this cycle.
