# Tokenomics

<mark style="color:blue;">$Elevate</mark> is a BEP20 token which serves as Elevate's vehicle to provide rewards to holders through a positive rebase formula and transaction volume in the form of BUSD. Because of the rebase rewards, the total supply is elastic to meet the needs of the fixed <mark style="color:blue;">100,000%</mark> APY rewards, along with regular burns to curb the inevitable inflation.&#x20;

It’s important to note that a large majority of these fees cycle back to users in various forms. The tokenomics is designed to benefit holders that hold tokens for a long time and penalize those who quickly sell after buying. By incentivizing investors to hold tokens, we can create a healthy chart and a steady stream of rewards which will in turn encourage new investors to join the community.&#x20;

* **Sustainability Fund:** The Sustainability Fee works to ensure the integrity of the rebase reward through token buybacks and burns, and by so doing secure the fixed APY of <mark style="color:blue;">100,000%</mark>.
* **Treasury Fund:** The Treasury Fund is used to fund marketing, future development of the Elevate ecosystem, and in extreme situations support the rebase rewards through strategic buybacks of <mark style="color:blue;">$Elevate</mark> tokens.
* **BUSD Rewards:** This is purely based on transaction volume so the more volume within the protocol, the greater reward for holders. Since BUSD is a stablecoin, it is immune to the ups and downs of the market and ensures a stable return to investors.
* **Liquidity Pool:** It is important that the liquidity pool is constantly supported through a sizable amount of transaction volume and absorb any sell transactions of passive rewards. This goes to backing the liquidity of the BNB/Elevate pair on PancakeSwap ensuring an ever-increasing collateral value of <mark style="color:blue;">$Elevate</mark>.
