The script then takes all Solana received via the swap and distributes appropriately between the operations wallet and all holders.
### How is this possible? What makes Print Protocol unique is the possibilities unlocked by our proprietary script. Here we will break down how it works: #### Step 1: Collects taxes We have automated the collection of all token taxes to our deployer wallet. Every time a swap or transfer is executed, 8% of all tokens are set aside into a collectable 'tax token account'. Our script frequently checks for all accounts collectable and claims the tokens to the deployer. #### Step 2: Swap threshold While collecting all taxes, our script queries for the $PRINT token balance of the deployer wallet. Once the wallet balance exceeds the swap threshold (1 million $PRINT) a swap is executed via [Fluxbeam ](https://fluxbeam.xyz)to convert the tokens into Solana. #### Step 3: Distribution Our current tax structure of 8% includes 2% to the operations wallet & 6% as rewards distributed amongst all holders. With this in mind our script will send 25% of the Solana received via our token swap to the operations wallet (0.08 \* 0.25 = 0.02 for operations as pre-defined in our tax structure). Once this transaction is completed the script grabs a list of all holders and distributes all remaining Solana to the holders of $PRINT. The amount of Solana each holder receives is directly correlated to the amount of $PRINT they hold. LP is blacklisted from receiving rewards. \*Note: The minimum Solana that can be sent in a single transaction is 0.000001 SOL, any holders who would not receive this amount or higher will not be eligible for rewards. As a baseline it is recommended to hold approximately 6,000 $PRINT to receive rewards.
