Policy Statement · Epoch 008 · Sets contraction
No. 008
Epoch 008 ran from 6 October 2026 to 9 October 2026, 01:00:30 UTC. Buyers paid in 18.760 BABA and sellers took out 22.654 BABA, an outflow share of 54.70%.
The net outflow of 3.894 BABA meets the 1 BABA floor, so epoch 009 runs in contraction. Sells pay a module fee of 2.75%, set by the outflow share; buys pay none.
This reverses the expansion that epoch 007 set.
No buybacks ran during epoch 008.
Standard Reserve's 1% base fee applies to every trade on top of the module fee. Pool buyers who hold 30 days pay half the module sell fee.
