## Token Allocation
# Buyback & Burn The main objective of the $BILLY token is to directly link the trading performance to the tokenomincs through a buyback and burn mechanism. This allows for $**BILLY token holders to passively benefit from the success of the autonomous betting** strategies without having to set their own bets, track games or engage with the agent themselves. Billy Bets will autonomously place bets and upon the end of a betting epoch (currently 1 week), Billy Bets will use 50% its net profits to buyback $BILLY tokens which will subsequently be burnt. Net profits will be calculated as the difference between the starting bankroll and the final bankroll during an epoch. Should Billy Bets not exceed his starting bankroll on any given period, the starting bankroll figure will be rolled forward for the next epoch, ensuring that Billy Bets continously grows his bankroll to facilitate larger buyback and burns in future. # Utility In addition to the buyback and burn mechanisms the $BILLY token will be integral to access premium features which will be token gated. ## Terminal Users that hold a minimum balance of $BILLY in their wallet will be able to access a terminal to interact directly with Billy Bets, beyond what is possible through public channels. Users will be able to leverage the terminal to place bets using natural language and peform advanced research on potential props, parlays and sports statistics to better inform their betting decisions. Additionally, users will be able to monitor line movements, set reminders and execute trades if certain conditions are met. ## Vaults Billy Bets will offer vaults in which users can deposit USDC that will be allocated in line with Billy Bets' own allocations in markets. Vault allocations will be constrained by the balance of $BILLY users hold, ensuring that edges are not eroded when bets are made. Themed vaults will also allow users to curate their exposure to specific sports or types of bets, allowing for a more personalized experience. # Technical Architecture ## Architecture
