# 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.
