# Commissions *218.8 million online shoppers in the US in 2023 spending an average of $5,381 per person (source Oberlo.com and InsiderIntelligence.com).* Calculating how much the protocol will earn from commissions gained from user purchases with above number in mind. As per the roadmap:\ **20,000 LEMONO users expected by the beginning of 2024.**\ \ If we are able to match a fifth of all spending with an average paid out commission of 5% (20,000 \* $5,381) / 5\ \ $21,524,000 total purchase value with possible cashback rewards from LEMONO.\ \ 5% equals to **$1,076,200** going into the protocol through buy-backs each year. ### What measures can be taken to prevent individuals from timing the buy-backs? In order to deter traders from timing the buybacks, we have developed a bot that autonomously purchases LEMONO tokens from the open market through multiple transactions spread out over a period of 30 days. This approach guarantees a consistent buying pressure through capital injections. --- # 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.
