# 9.3 Growth Fund

The **Growth Allocation Fund** receives 2% of all $NUAI trade volume and is managed through the DAO.

Funds are used for:

* Builder grants and project funding
* Liquidity injection for promising tokens
* Infrastructure upgrades and bounty programs
* Cross-chain integrations and hackathons

Every disbursement is proposed and approved by $NUAI holders, keeping the growth fund transparent and community-led.
