$LAVA Utility
The Power of $LVF
$LVF is the gravitational center of the Lava ecosystem — fueled by a self-sustaining flywheel of real protocol revenue.
The Buy-Back Flywheel
Unlike inflationary token models that dilute holders over time, $LVF operates on a deflationary buy-back mechanism tied directly to protocol activity.
How It Works
1. Ecosystem Revenue
Every trade on the Perp Aggregator and RWA bridge generates real protocol fees in USDC. High volume translates directly to protocol earnings — no emissions, no inflation.
2. Strategic Buy-Backs
A fixed portion of all earned fees is automatically used to market-buy $LVF from the open market. This creates consistent buy pressure regardless of market sentiment.
3. Value Distribution
Purchased tokens are redistributed to $LVF stakers and the DAO treasury. This effectively reduces circulating supply while rewarding long-term holders.
The result: as Lava grows, $LVF holders benefit directly from protocol success.
Token Utility
$LVF unlocks six core benefits across the Lava ecosystem.
Real-Yield Sharing
Stake $LVF to receive a direct portion of protocol revenue generated from Perp DEX aggregation and RWA trading fees. Yield is distributed in USDC — no farming tokens, no ponzinomics.

Why $LVF Matters
$LVF isn't a governance token bolted onto a protocol as an afterthought. It's the economic engine that aligns every participant in the ecosystem:
Traders benefit from fee discounts and gas abstraction
Stakers earn real yield from protocol revenue
Governors shape the future of the protocol
Card users unlock premium spending benefits
Every product in the Lava suite generates revenue. Every dollar of revenue flows back to $LVF holders. This is the flywheel.
