# What gives sGAGE a bid

Selling pressure on sGAGE comes from unlocked rewards. Here is what meets it.

## Pool entry

Adding liquidity requires sGAGE, so every new liquidity provider buys it first, and the liquidity rewards are the reason to.

## Buyback

The fee sink converts protocol fees in USDG to ETH, buys GAGE on the launch pool, buys sGAGE in the pool, and burns it. Every clip is a market buy of both tokens and a permanent cut to supply, funded by the vault's fees. Fees in, supply out. See [Buyback and burn](/pool/buyback.md).

## The floor

Half of the launch's creator fees buy GAGE and park it as a standing bid for sGAGE just under the market. The bid thickens with every clip and ratchets up as the market rises. See [The sGAGE floor](/pool/the-floor.md).

## The drip

Rewards reach wallets a little at a time and mostly at the end of a term, so sell pressure arrives as a trickle against buyers who show up every week. See [The drip](/rewards/the-drip.md).

## The supply

Five billion, minted once, only ever decreasing. There is no team allocation, no treasury allocation and no mint function.

## The gauge

None of this promises a price. The pool price of sGAGE in GAGE is set by buyers and sellers alone. It is shown at all times, next to the sGAGE burned this week, so the token's whole story is two numbers anyone can read.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gage.cash/tokens/what-gives-sgage-a-bid.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
