# Weekly Rewards & Burns

Each sale **week** is a self-contained round with its own **Top Buyers leaderboard** and a dedicated **Weekly Reward Pool** of **$HUGS**. At the end of the week, the pool is distributed to the top buyers, and **any undistributed tokens for that round are permanently burned**. Fewer tokens in circulation = more scarcity = stronger fundamentals.

#### How the Weekly Rewards Work (Simple)

* **Qualify:** Make one or more purchases during the current week. Your total qualifying volume (in $) for that wallet counts toward the leaderboard.
* **Leaderboard:** Wallets are ranked by total weekly purchase volume.
* **Payout:** At week’s end, the **Weekly Reward Pool** is distributed **pro-rata** to wallets on the leaderboard based on each wallet’s share of leaderboard volume.
* **Top Buyer Boost:** Rank #1 - 3 will share between a $35k USD equivalent in $HUGS token (a little victory hug).
* **Instant Transparency:** Rewards and burns are executed on-chain; burn tx hashes are published on the dashboard for anyone to verify.

#### The Burn Mechanism (Deflationary Power)

* After the weekly distribution, **any remaining $HUGS** assigned to that round (unawarded, unclaimed, or unallocated) are **sent to the burn address**.
* Burns **reduce total circulating supply** over time, creating steady, programmatic scarcity.
* Burn events are **visible on-chain** and summarized on the leaderboard page with direct links to tx hashes.
