The $ST flywheel
Sterminal charges a flat 1% fee on every trade. 50% of that fee is used to buy back $ST on the open market. More volume means more buybacks — a loop that compounds with usage.

Platform & growth
Operations, infrastructure, liquidity and expansion to new launchpads.
Why it compounds
Real yield
Buybacks are funded by actual USDC fees from real volume — not emissions or inflation.
Reflexive
Every trade adds persistent buy pressure to $ST. Activity and token strength reinforce each other.
Aligned
The more the terminal is used, the more $ST is bought back. Traders and holders win together.
$ST mechanics are the platform’s fee-allocation policy and may evolve as Sterminal grows. Nothing here is financial advice or a promise of token value.
