# How Atlas Works Reserve Model Atlas is supported by wstETH and $PONZIE, giving it a strong reserve base and an alternative to the inflationary model used by some other protocols. 1\. Reserve Backing: • wstETH provides stability linked to staked ETH rewards. • $PONZIE adds diversified backing, increasing resilience and growth potential. 2\. Bond Sales and Buybacks: • Bond Sales in wETH: Atlas issues bonds in wETH, attracting liquidity. • Buyback Mechanism: Revenue from bonds is used to purchase Atlas tokens on the open market, driving demand and allowing Atlas to reissue bonds effectively. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
