# Protocol Owned Liquidity

Protocol Owned Liquidity ("POL") has been an extremely popular term in DeFi since 2021, mostly thanks to [Olympus](https://www.olympusdao.finance/). Alnair Finance  wants to explore and adopt the latest DeFi innovations, including a Protocol Owned Liquidity feature closely related to our Minting mechanism.

When minting $ASTX, **0.5 x (1 - CR%)** of ASTR invested is used to buy back $ALNR. Then the protocol has both $ALNR and ASTR tokens available to add liquidity for the $ALNR/ASTR  LP. 

We will monitor and fine-tune the POL parameters as needed.
