Every short burns $CRASH.

Two percent of every position opened on Crash buys $CRASH on its own pool and sends it to a burn address — in the same transaction as the trade. There is no schedule, no treasury and nobody who can switch it off. The burn rate is the volume.

What happens when you open a short

01You send ether to the router. Two percent is taken and sent to the buyback contract before anything else happens — a routed position cannot exist without its cut having been paid.
02The remaining ninety-eight percent opens your short on the desk, at the cap that market's own pool supports, read in the same transaction as your entry.
03Once the buyback holds more than 0.05 ether, the next trade through the router swaps the lot for $CRASH and sends it to 0x…dEaD. It waits until then because a Uniswap V4 swap costs more gas than converting a few thousandths is worth.
04Anyone can trigger that conversion themselves at any time. It is a public function on a contract with no owner.

Why this is not a promise

Most buybacks are a policy: someone decides, someone signs, and you find out afterwards whether it happened. This one is a consequence. It is in the same transaction as the trade, so there is no moment at which anyone could choose not to.

What it is not: a claim that $CRASH goes up. Volume drives the burn, and if nobody trades, nothing burns. That is the honest shape of it.

What the router does and does not do

The desk records whoever calls it as the owner of a position, so a contract that takes a cut on the way in is necessarily the recorded owner of what it opens. That is worth being precise about rather than glossing.

Anyone can add to it, and anyone can fire it

The buyback takes ether from any address, not just the router. Send some and it joins the next conversion; there is no permission, no allowlist and no way for it to come back out to you or to us. It is not a donation to Crash — it is a purchase of $CRASH that nobody receives.

And the conversion itself is a public function. If the balance is over the threshold and the cooldown has passed, anyone may call buyAndBurn(0) and the swap happens. You do not need us online, and we cannot stop you.
