# Why Absorber?

What makes the **Absorber protocol** different in that it’s a solution to most if not all of the problems of Defi. Here’s how:

1\. Because the protocol does **not use** **any staking contracts**, there is no potential for it to be bugged or exploited.

2\. The protocol does **not allow anyone** — even its owner — to send any of the smart contract’s tokens out because the function simply doesn’t exist.

3\. The Absorber is meant to be fully and **truly** **decentralized** with the “keys” (ownership) being burned so that it is impossible to rug.

4\. The protocol’s staking is like *$CORE*’s but **without the need to stake** anything anywhere to earn rewards.

5\. The protocol **automatically distributes rewards** to you without your need to pay any gas fees to claim them.

6\. With the Absorber, there’s **no impermanent loss** because you don’t need to stake two different tokens that can fluctuate in price relative to each other.

6\. The Absorber is **deflationary** with an absorption mechanism that gives it an **ever-increasing price floor while removing tokens from the circulating supply**. This means the perpetually rising price floor will always support your tokens’ value.<br>
