TLDR: Alphakek AI proposes lowering the $AIKEK (Ethereum) protocol fee from 4% to 1% and migrating from a Buyback & Burn model to a Buyback & LP model.
CONTEXT: $AIKEK on Ethereum currently has a 4% protocol fee, with 33% of the fees allocated to Buyback & Burn. This proposal will shift the allocation to Buyback & LP, strengthening the token’s liquidity over time.
WHY Buyback & LP: We burned over 7% of the total supply, which is a huge win. However, less than 3.5% of the total supply is left in the biggest LP. From this point, burning will bring diminishing returns. Boosting liquidity across all three chains (ETH mainnet, BASE, SOL) appears to be a better r/r for the existing and future $AIKEK holders.
WHY 1%: Back when $AIKEK was launched, 4% was the industry standard, which has changed. We estimate that lowering fees to 1% will bring more volume and, in the end, more revenue for buybacks and lower slippage for traders and institutions.
BIG PICTURE: This is part of a broader tokenomics roadmap designed to revamp the $AIKEK flywheel and fuel long-term growth.
This proposal aims to enhance the $AIKEK holder experience, increase liquidity, and lower barriers to entry for millions of DeFi users.
Since the launch, token fees have successfully fueled the growth of our proprietary AI infrastructure, which currently powers multi-billion-dollar crypto projects. Our Buyback & Burn program has also been massively successful, burning 18.68M $AIKEK (7.3% of the total supply) to date.
However, Buyback & Burn has diminishing returns over time—if the goal is to grow $AIKEK, we must evolve our strategy. More liquidity means:
Lowering the $AIKEK protocol fees to 1% improves the trading experience and reduces friction for new entrants. A 1% fee is also the industry standard for AI infrastructure tokens, as seen with the largest AI protocols in crypto.
Furthermore, Alphakek AI is financially strong, with multiple revenue streams from enterprise AI clients, custom AI solutions, and proprietary infrastructure.
If this proposal passes:
The Buyback & LP program will work as follows:
