# Auto Dev Buys

## What Happens When a Creator Goes Inactive

**Auto Dev Buys** is an Anoncoin mechanism that handles idle creator earnings. When a creator becomes inactive and maintains a balance derived from creator earnings, a portion of that balance is automatically allocated toward buybacks of the creator's coin.

***

## How It Works

### Trigger

If a creator maintains a balance in their Platform Wallet derived from creator earnings and a period of **creator inactivity continues for 7 consecutive days**, the platform may implement an automated buyback:

1. **Up to 20% of the creator earnings balance** may be used to purchase the creator's coin
2. Purchases may be executed on the platform or via integrated third-party services and decentralized exchanges
3. Transactions are **clearly labeled** as "Auto Buyback" on the coin page

### What Counts as Inactivity

Any on-chain action by the creator through the platform resets the 7-day timer:

* Buying or selling coins
* Withdrawing or transferring funds
* Any wallet action through the platform

> 📌 Platform-initiated transactions (like the auto buybacks themselves) do **not** reset the inactivity timer.

## Parameters

| Parameter               | Value                                 |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Inactivity trigger**  | 7 consecutive days                    |
| **Buyback amount**      | Up to 20% of creator earnings balance |
| **Frequency**           | No more than once per week            |
| **Minimum balance**     | $500 USD equivalent                   |
| **Maximum per buyback** | $10,000 USD equivalent                |

***

## Transparency

All auto buybacks are **fully transparent**:

* ✅ Visible **on-chain**
* ✅ Labeled as **"Auto Buyback"** on the coin page
* ✅ Easily distinguishable from manual dev buys

The community can see exactly when buybacks are automated vs. manually initiated.
