Understanding the SKYRN Token Buy and Sell Tax

The SKYRN token has a unique tax structure designed to benefit the Skyren ecosystem and its community. Here’s a detailed explanation of how the buy and sell taxes work:

Buy Tax

When you purchase SKYRN tokens on the open market, a 2% tax is applied to the transaction. This 2% is added to the Skyren DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). The funds in the DAO are used to support the growth and development of the Skyren ecosystem, ensuring that the community benefits from every purchase.

How It Works:

  1. Transaction Initiation: When a user initiates a purchase of SKYRN tokens, the transaction is processed through the decentralized exchange (DEX)

  2. Tax Deduction: As part of the transaction, a 2% tax is automatically deducted from the total amount of tokens purchased.

  3. DAO Allocation: This 2% is then transferred to the Skyren DAO and converted to alternative assets such as USDC or WBTC. The DAO is a community-governed fund that is used to finance various initiatives, projects, and improvements within the Skyren ecosystem. This could include development of new features, marketing efforts, community rewards, and more.

Sell Tax

When you sell SKYRN tokens on the open market, a total tax of 6% is applied to the transaction. This 6% is distributed as follows:

  • 2% Buyback and Burn: This portion is used to buy back SKYRN tokens from the market and burn them. Burning tokens reduces the total supply, which can help increase the value of the remaining tokens over time.

  • 2% Skyren DAO: Similar to the buy tax, 2% of the sell transaction is converted to alternative assets and added to the Skyren DAO. These funds are used to further develop and support the ecosystem.

  • 2% Liquidity Pool: The final 2% is used to help fund the liquidity pool. A well-funded liquidity pool ensures that there is enough liquidity for users to buy and sell SKYRN tokens without significant price slippage.

Detailed Breakdown:

  1. Transaction Initiation: When a user decides to sell SKYRN tokens, the transaction is processed through the DEX or platform where the token is listed.

  2. Tax Deduction: A 6% tax is automatically deducted from the total amount of tokens being sold.

  3. Buyback and Burn (2%):

    • Buyback: 2% of the transaction value is used to purchase SKYRN tokens from the open market.

    • Burn: The purchased tokens are then sent to a burn address, effectively removing them from circulation. This process helps to reduce the total supply of SKYRN tokens, which can positively impact the token's value by creating scarcity.

  4. Skyren DAO (2%): Another 2% of the transaction value is transferred to the Skyren DAO. These funds are used in the same manner as the buy tax, supporting various initiatives and projects within the Skyren ecosystem.

  5. Liquidity Pool (2%): The final 2% is allocated to the liquidity pool. This ensures that there is sufficient liquidity for trading SKYRN tokens, reducing price volatility and providing a smoother trading experience for users.

Summary

  • Buy Tax: 2% of each purchase is added to the Skyren DAO.

  • Sell Tax: 6% of each sale is distributed as follows:

    • 2% for buyback and burn.

    • 2% to the Skyren DAO.

    • 2% to the liquidity pool.

  • Total Round Trip Tax: 8% (2% on buys and 6% on sells).

Benefits of the Tax Structure

  1. Supporting the Ecosystem: The taxes collected are used to support the Skyren ecosystem, ensuring continuous development and growth. This includes funding for new projects, marketing efforts, and community rewards.

  2. Increasing Token Value: The buyback and burn mechanism helps to reduce the total supply of SKYRN tokens, creating scarcity and potentially increasing the token's value over time.

  3. Ensuring Liquidity: Allocating funds to the liquidity pool ensures that there is sufficient liquidity for trading SKYRN tokens, reducing price volatility and providing a smoother trading experience for users.

  4. Community Governance: The Skyren DAO allows the community to have a say in how the funds are used, promoting transparency and decentralized governance.

Users may attempt to avoid the initial tax by purchasing from centralized exchanges (CEXs) and transferring to decentralized wallets, potentially leading to price discrepancies between CEXs and decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

These price differences can create arbitrage opportunities, with price appreciation occurring in both directions. Sometimes the price on DEXs may be higher than on CEXs, and vice versa. This bidirectional price movement allows arbitrageurs to potentially profit from both scenarios.

Skyren is aware of and welcomes this arbitrage activity, recognizing arbitrage traders as an integral part of the Skyren ecosystem. These traders contribute to funding the DAO as they will eventually need to pay the token trade tax, regardless of their trading direction.

Users engaging in arbitrage will ultimately be subject to the token trade tax when buying or selling. This mechanism is designed to benefit long-term holders, though it may cause temporary price fluctuations. In the long run, these arbitrage activities are expected to benefit long-term holders, while short-term holders may not see the same advantages.
