# Liquidity Provisioning

Liquidity used during the token creation process is owned by the protocol until the terms of the loan are completely satisfied. This means that the token created is temporarily owned by the protocol during this period. This is necessary to avoid loss of funds for the protocol and users by preventing the creator from draining the LP.

When a liquidity package is selected, the default term is one week. This can be extended with boosts. If predetermined volume metrics are met, the one week period is automatically extended. Failure to meet the volume requirements marks the project as ‘unhealthy’.

## Unhealthy Projects

If a project is marked as unhealthy, the creator must purchase an extension to keep liquidity in place. Failure to do so will enable users to remove liquidity from the project. Upon liquidity removal, buyers of the token with removed liquidity are able to claim any funds that they used to buy the token. Since removing liquidity is expensive, Ember incentivizes users to do so by rewarding them with $esEMBR tokens. The rewarded amount will grow over time to ensure liquidity is eventually removed and funds are claimable by those affected.

## Gaining Control

Borrowed liquidity is paid off over time as fees are generated from a base token tax of 0.3%. The user may also choose to pay off any amount of the loan as desired. If the user enabled buy/sell taxes on their token, they will be able pay down their loan using the accrued tokens.&#x20;
