The design intent is simple: the protocol’s revenue is performance fees, and that revenue flows back into the token.

​
The flywheel, as intended

  1. Vaults realise profit for depositors.
  2. The exit fee on that profit is protocol revenue — earned only when users actually make money.
  3. That revenue is directed into the token via buybacks and/or burns.
Because the fee model is exit-only and profit-only, token value accrual is tied to the one thing that matters: strategies that genuinely work. There is no revenue from deposits, TVL, or churn to dress up the flywheel.

Status

The buyback-versus-burn decision (and every parameter downstream of it) is not yet ratified. This page will state the final mechanism — with contract addresses and verifiable flows — before the mechanism goes live. Until then, treat any specific claim about Crossbow tokenomics found elsewhere as fabricated.
