# Price Defense Strategy

> **ADRO PROTOCOL maintains a value standard of 1 AC = $0.001 for the stability of the real-economy payment system. We implement a multi-faceted price policy to suppress rapid price fluctuations and preserve practical purchasing power even after listing.**

Sustainability of the ADRO ecosystem starts with the stability of asset value. We adhere to the following policies to protect users' reward values from market volatility.

#### 💎 Price Foundation

The price policy of ADRO PROTOCOL prioritizes connectivity with the real economy.

1. **Anchor Price Setting :** We apply a standard of 1 AC = $0.001 during initial listing and service payments. This is to help users intuitively understand the value of their rewards and prevent confusion during real-life payments.
2. **Ad Execution Unit Price Linkage :** Advertising fees paid by advertisers to the IoT and AR platforms are adjusted in linkage with the market value of AC. This creates a structure where the supply and demand of AC are naturally adjusted according to actual business revenue.

#### 📈 Price Defense and Appreciation Mechanism (Defense Mechanism)

Mechanisms to control market selling pressure and support the price floor after listing.

1. **Revenue-driven Buyback :** A certain percentage of the revenue generated from the IoT/AR ad platform and payment fees is invested in purchasing AC in the market. Purchased volume is either burned or attributed to the ecosystem fund to control circulation.
2. **Inducing One-way ACS Swap :** We provide additional benefits when users convert AC into ACS, the payment engine. Volume converted to ACS cannot re-enter exchanges, effectively locking real selling volume permanently. (Fixed ratio of 1 ACS = 1,000 AC)
3. **Staking Reward Policy :** We grant higher membership tiers to users who hold or stake AC long-term. Differentiated utilities, such as increased ACS accumulation rates and priority participation in hot deals, are provided based on tiers to strengthen long-term holding incentives.

#### 🛡️ Market Operation and Management

* **Volatility Mitigation :** Preventing sudden price dumping or pumping and maintaining stable liquidity depth through professional Market Making (MM) partnerships.
* **Transparent Circulation Management :** Real-time monitoring and regular disclosure of the movement status of foundation-owned and ecosystem-distributed supply.
* **Ecosystem Fund Operation :** Strategically deploying a prepared Reserve for price stability in case of sudden market shocks.

> **Practical value creates price. ADRO PROTOCOL will build a solid financial ecosystem where the value of 1 AC can be substituted with actual purchasing power anywhere in the world, moving beyond simple arbitrage.**
