now am willing to bring my experience into the WELD project in order to make it the next #tothemoon gem 🚀🚀🚀
Q2.Can you briefly describe what is WELD We would like to know more about it and how it works.
Ans:Weld is a project that aims to bridge Crypto World with Traditional Finances✨
We created seamless Payment solution for regular daily expenses with minimal commissions backed by any crypto wallet💳
In the mobile crypto bank Weld, you will get the opportunity to issue a plastic card, which will be available in several levels, including the premium one💎
Using a card or an application on your smartphone, you can pay with fiat currencies, paying with it in retail networks or online stores in exchange for your balance on the crypto exchange, transferring API keys to the application💡
Initially, when setting up the card, you link the card balance with your exchange account, without any transfers and replenishment, and then you can use the card as usual⚖️
Long story short 😂🔥

1.So, do you have any plan for burning tokens in the future to reduce the supply of the token and increase its investment attractiveness?
By @g76974594
Ans:There will be no burning , but there will be a Buyback.
One of the most important functions of the Weld economy token is Buyback. We plan to spend up to 20% of Weld’s monthly income on buying back tokens from the market. This will support the infrastructure of the application, as well as positively affect the price of the token. The buyback will be carried out regularly throughout the month. The purchased Veld token will not burn, but go to the project development fund, for the project to enter new markets in the future.
Buyback will be limited per time period, this period is 2 year from listing date on first DEX. After 730 days after listing, the buyback program will finish, and the market will become self regulated by users and investors
