# The Afterburner Engine

The Afterburner Engine is a smart contract incentive mechanism that accumulates funds for the shared reward pot after each token transaction made on the operating chain.\
\
The engine provides two possible outcomes: <mark style="color:green;">Winning</mark> or <mark style="color:red;">Combusting!</mark>\
\
**1) WINNING THE POT (LAST BUYER)**\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="color:green;">**The last buyer wins, if no investment is made after a valid buy for 60 minutes.**</mark>*\
The minimum threshold to make a valid buy is set to 0.10 BNB.\
Consequently, the collected amounts will be distributed accordingly:\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="color:green;">25% of the pot will be sent to the Winner's Wallet,</mark>*\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="color:green;">25% of the pot will be sent to the Burning Chamber,</mark>*\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="color:green;">50% of the pot will be transferred to the Next Round.</mark>*\
\
**2) TRIGGERING THE COMBUSTION**\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="color:red;">**If the pot hits its max cap of 1.000 USD before anyone claims it,**</mark>*\
*<mark style="color:red;">**The Combustion Mechanism is triggered!**</mark>* \
In the event of a Combustion:\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="color:red;">50% of the pot will be sent to the Burning Chamber,</mark>*\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="color:red;">50% of the pot will be transferred to the Next Round.</mark>*<br>

\
&#x20;This system will benefit both the investors and the protocol, regardless of the outcome.<br>
