33% of fees generated on FTX markets
10% of net additions to the backstop fund ('Socialized Gains')
5% of fees earned from other uses of the FTX platform

FTX will buy FTT on its FTT/USD market. Bought FTT will be burned on a weekly basis in accordance with a schedule adopted by FTX. The current schedule typically starts at 10 pm SGT each Monday, with purchased tokens burned by 11:59 pm, SGT Tuesday. The above fees are less promotional discounts, payment processor fees, referral fees, and third-party costs associated with such revenue.
