# 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>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://vertexbsc.gitbook.io/afterburner-finance/protocol-basics/the-afterburner-engine.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
