here’s the $RAT × $EXFIL flywheel 1. people trade RAT. 2. RAT’s stated 3% buy/sell tax funds purchases of EXFIL. 3. that EXFIL is distributed to eligible RAT holders. rewards depend on trading activity not a fixed yield. 4. the RAT dev says his wallet has received 91,594 EXFIL in rewards and contributed all of it to RAT/EXFIL liquidity, with the LP tokens burned. that last step is the dev’s decision, not something every reward recipient automatically does. the connection is straightforward: RAT trading generates reward funding. reward funding buys EXFIL. holders receive EXFIL. the dev recycles his rewards into the pair’s liquidity. important distinction: burning LP tokens prevents redeeming that liquidity position. it does NOT burn the underlying EXFIL, which remains available through swaps. more activity can fund more rewards. less activity means less funding. recipients can also sell their rewards, so buying pressure doesn’t guarantee price appreciation. i hold both. what interests me is an independent community creating another use for EXFIL around the product @abhilashi is building. that’s the connection worth understanding and checking against the on-chain receipts
