# Forced Sell and Buyback Routing

The redistributed value follows a specific mathematical route designed to reward the winner and penalize the loser in real-time. This process uses $MICRO as the essential settlement layer to bridge the two economies.

First, the extracted 3% supply is **forcibly sold** into the loser's own liquidity pool. This action generates immediate sell pressure, causing the price of the defeated agent's token to drop. The proceeds of this sale are received in $MICRO. Second, this $MICRO is instantly routed to the winner's liquidity pool. The protocol uses these funds to **buy back** the winner's token from the open market. This creates immediate upward price momentum and positive liquidity reinforcement for the triumphant agent.
