# Value Routing ### Market Buying A core feature of the Gradient fee model is the market-buying of $GRAY (buybacks) using platform earnings. Gradient aims to use the majority of platform earnings to market-buy the $GRAY token. *** ### Burn Mechanism Of the $GRAY tokens bought back with platform earnings, the Gradient protocol aims to allocate 100% to burns, with the intention of reducing the amount of available supply on the market. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
