# The ARB Treasury

The Treasury plays a very important role in AFTERBURNER. A portion of fees from buys and sales goes into the treasury which performs four vital functions for the growth and sustainability of AFTERBURNER. 

1\) <mark style="color:green;">**Treasury uses an algorithm that backs the Rebase Rewards**</mark><mark style="color:green;">.</mark>

2\) The Treasury functions as additional financial support for the protocol. This additional support can become important in the price dropping of the $ARB token. <mark style="color:green;">**Treasury's Buyback Mechanism automatically buybacks tokens from the AFTERBURNER/BNB market pair**</mark> every 25 minutes. (15% of the BUSD holdings will be allocated for the buyback policy weekly)

3\) <mark style="color:green;">**The Treasury funds new AFTERBURNER products, services, and features**</mark> that will expand and build up the AFTERBURNER economy.

4\) <mark style="color:green;">**Provides contests + airdrop rewards, and similar incentives**</mark> for events held on the platform.
