Negative Entropy

Vacuum incorporates an innovative automated liquidity and token burn mechanism called NEGENTROPY (Negative Entropy). This function triggers when the 24-hour trading volume dips below 1% of VACU's circulating supply, defined as the total supply minus the tokens that have already been burned. Additionally, it features randomness to prevent frontrunning the contract.

In such a scenario, the NEGENTROPY function automatically uses 42% of the Ethereum held in the smart contract to purchase VACU tokens from the market. This strategic buy-back provides vital liquidity and buying pressure during periods of low trading activity, acting as an anti-entropy stabilizing force for the token's value. The percentage of 42% was chosen as an homage to "the answer to life, the universe, and everything" from Douglas Adams' famous science fiction novel.

Upon completion of the ETH to VACU swap, the purchased tokens are immediately sent to the burn address (0x0000…dead), permanently removing them from circulation. This deflationary action decreases the circulating supply and potentially increases the ratio of ETH to Vacuum tokens.

The contract tracks the total trading volume (excluding wallet-to-wallet transfers and buybacks) over a rolling window of approximately 22-25 hours. This is achieved by continuously monitoring and aggregating all token swap transactions that occur within this time frame.

At the end of each 22-25 hour epoch, the contract evaluates the total volume accrued during that period. If the volume is less than 1% of the circulating token supply, the contract automatically triggers a buyback operation. However, if the volume exceeds the 1% threshold, the contract forgoes the buyback, resets the volume counter, and initiates a new 22-25 hour epoch to continue monitoring the trading activity.

This dynamic buyback mechanism serves as an adaptive feature to maintain Vacuum's stability and ETH to VACU ratio. By conditionally executing buybacks based on trading volume, the contract aims to strike a balance between supporting it during periods of lower activity and allowing organic market dynamics to prevail when sufficient volume is present.
