PONS Founder Addresses Buyback Concerns, Says Burn Is Now Automated

The shift to an automated, permissionless trigger matters less for the burn itself than for what it removes: founder discretion and the communication gap that produced the complaints. Letting any user fire the bot for a reward turns a trust question into a mechanical one, and the fixed weekly claim-then-burn cadence gives the market a predictable schedule to price around. The open question is whether automation actually settles the underlying concern about buyback credibility, or simply moves the debate to whether the reward is enough to keep the bot running.
