Treasury Transfer concepts
Exchange transaction fees
Exchange transaction fees are incurred when there are BUY/SELL transactions involving the native token (symphony). The fees are sent to the treasury.
Profits from a business
The concept here refers to when a user creates a token for a business. The token may be used in the course of the business, and when there is profit made, it is accumulated in the Bank. However, to create more confidence in the token, the token owner can choose to send the profit gained to the treasury providing a higher floor for support for the tokens. This will enable potential investors to have more confidence in the token in their decision to invest in the token.
Sales transactions
The concept here refers to token owner selling a product.
For example, you have an online yoga class. Interested clients need to buy your $TOKEN monthly as a subscription service to join the class. There are two parts to this transaction, the client will use USDU to buy your $TOKEN, and when they pay for the monthly subscription, the $TOKEN is sent to the treasury (where it is burnt).
Native tokens sent are burnt
When native token (in this case Symphony token) are sent to treasury, they are burnt and removed from the total supply.
This happens when investors or token creator wants to reduce the market supply of the tokens, which will have an effect of increasing the token value.
