Locking, vesting, buybacks, and burns affect tokens in different ways. This page explains those mechanisms and the planned treasury policy described in RNDRNTWRK Public Corpus v1.1, dated 28 August 2026.

​
Locking and Vesting

Locking restricts the transfer or withdrawal of a specified amount of tokens under stated conditions. A lock description identifies the tokens, amount, duration or release conditions, and the controls that apply. Vesting makes an allocation available according to a release schedule. The schedule explains when amounts become available and how the remaining allocation is recorded. For either arrangement, the terms would explain:
  • Whose tokens or allocation are affected.
  • When the arrangement begins and how release works.
  • Who controls it and who may change its terms.
  • How participants follow the available and remaining amounts.
Any associated access, decision rights, or payment terms would be defined separately by the relevant product or programme.

​
Buybacks and Burns

A buyback uses designated funds to purchase tokens. Its policy identifies the funding source, eligible amount, purchase terms, and intended use of the purchased tokens. A burn makes tokens permanently unusable. The token mechanism determines how that action is carried out and recorded. A purchase record and a burn record describe different actions. A policy needs to explain what happens to purchased tokens, including whether a separate burn is intended.

​
Planned Treasury Policy

The corpus’s planned treasury policy assigns 20% of eligible recognised platform revenue to $555 buybacks after the source’s statutory, contractual, payment, refund, and other senior obligations have been met. Recognised platform revenue is the platform’s share of distributable source value. Deployable platform surplus is the amount after direct execution costs and realised loss provisions are accounted for. The planned 20% policy uses eligible recognised platform revenue as its basis. Gross transaction volume, user principal, creator and audience liabilities, restricted liquidity, route inventory, and borrowed or third-party capital are outside that allocation basis. The remaining platform allocation varies by source and economic lifecycle. Fee Distribution explains the SW4P fee and platform allocations, the media and product split, and the source waterfall. This is a planned use of eligible funds. The corpus describes no token-holder entitlement or guarantee of market purchases, volume, liquidity, price, yield, or returns. The policy does not establish that buybacks or burns are currently executing.

​
Programme Terms and SW4P Earn

A locking or vesting arrangement defines transfer and release conditions. Any associated staking, allocation, reward, claim, payout, reserve, or reconciliation arrangement belongs to the SW4P Earn programme model. SW4P Earn extends SW4P’s economic model into source-aware allocation, claims, rewards, payout schedules, reserves, and reconciliation. A future programme would identify its purpose, eligible activity, funding, allocation rules, recipients, and claim or payment timing. Current status: SW4P Earn is not yet publicly available. No staking, liquidity, reward, or claim programme is currently open.
