# Tax Functions We know, we know—no one likes taxes. But in crypto, taxes can actually be your friend (seriously). On Ponzi.Express, taxes are the oil that keeps the machine running smoothly, ensuring backing, liquidity, and team rewards are all taken care of. Plus, if you’re deploying your own token, you get to control them! For rebasing tokens, you can set your own tax rates, post-deployment with initial defaults that keep things sane: * **1.5% Backing (in WETH):** Keeps the treasury nice and full, ensuring every token is always redeemable for its backing. * **1.5% Liquidity:** Makes sure there’s always enough liquidity to go around. * **1% Team:** Because even DeFi wizards need to pay their bills. Max this out at 2% if you’re feeling generous. * **1% Platform Fee:** This one’s non-negotiable—Ponzi.Express needs to keep the lights on. Non-rebasing tokens get their own set of taxes, designed to keep things smooth and profitable: * **1% Backing (in WETH):** Again, this keeps the token backed by real assets—none of that vaporware stuff. * **1% Rev Share:** Encourages stakers to stay in for the long haul. * **1% Liquidity:** Keeps the liquidity flowing. * **1% Team:** Maxes out at 2%, but it’s a nice little bonus for the creator. * **1% Platform Fee:** Fixed, just like with the rebasing tokens --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
