# ATG Governance Token

## Automatic's Rewards-bearing Governance Token    

1. Simply holding and staking ATG enables users to capture 7% of net platform fees automatically
   * MATIC rewards are automatically compounded and deposited into ALP to enable ATG stakers to earn additional rewards by becoming ALP liquidity providers
     * If users do not wish to receive ALP fees, they may click "opt out" to instead claim ATG-derived MATIC yield to their wallets
2. ATG receives 10% of Bond inflow, used to buyback and burn ATG, decreasing supply and enhancing fee capture among existing holders
3. Staking ATG rewards users with rATP Rebate Tokens
4. As Automatic's governance token, ATG holders control all on-chain voting
   * rATP cannot be used for voting
5. May be used as collateral on future linked platforms, and may be used as collateral on AmpliFi for Amplifiers in the future
6. ATG removed from circulation (burned) is excluded from fee-sharing to protect users from dilution
7. **Treasury-Derived ALP Fees:** 7% of Automatic's ALP MATIC yield is automatically distributed to staked ATG holders every week
