# Initial Funds Use

The deposit fees allow Onyx DAO to garner operating capital while funding reward pools for $ONYX holders which will run from launch day through the second month of operation. The rewards pools will establish a floor price using pools and market cap for $ONYX while reducing sell off.

Furthermore, the absence of deposit fees on $ONYX pools and farms offers immediate utility and yield for $ONYX holders.

The other core component of Onyx DAO is bonding; users will be able to sell $ONYX-$ETH liquidity to the protocol to earn $ONYX at a discount. This allows the protocol to accumulate POL and ensure a liquid token without the need for mercenary liquidity providers or an inflationary token.
