# $SIMULATION Token

$SIMULATION is the ecosystem token connecting all games on the SSE platform. It benefits from game activity through automated buyback mechanics.

## Utility

* **Buyback sink** — A portion of every round's settlement is used to purchase $SIMULATION from the open market
* **Liquidity provision** — Friendly Pools provide trading liquidity for $SIMULATION
* **Treasury funding** — Protocol fees fund development, infrastructure, and community initiatives

## Buyback Mechanism

A portion of every round's settlement pool is routed to the buyback wallet. This SOL is used to purchase $SIMULATION tokens, creating consistent buy pressure.

### When Buyback Occurs

| Resolution Type       | Buyback Share                | Example                    |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Settle (winner found) | Via Friendly Pools liquidity | Part of settlement         |
| Expire (no winner)    | 47.5% of pool (Alon's Box)   | Direct buyback             |
| Pot cap reached       | 47.5% of pool (Alon's Box)   | Economy protection trigger |

### Multi-Game Aggregation

As more games launch, buyback volume compounds:

```
Game 1 (Alon's Box) ──→ Buyback Wallet ──→ $SIMULATION buy pressure
Game 2 (Future)     ──→ Buyback Wallet ──→ $SIMULATION buy pressure
Game N              ──→ Buyback Wallet ──→ $SIMULATION buy pressure
```

All games share the same buyback wallet, creating aggregated demand across the ecosystem.

## Treasury

The treasury receives a 5% protocol fee from every round across all games. Treasury funds support:

* Platform development
* Infrastructure costs
* Future game development
* Community initiatives

Treasury and buyback wallet addresses are set at program initialization and cannot be changed afterward.

## Rollover

A portion of each round's pool carries over into the next round, creating growing prize pools. Rollover stays within each game's Vault PDA and does not cross between games.
