The Economic Model

Every dollar flowing through the Render Network Protocol follows the same deterministic cascade. No exceptions.

The Revenue Cascade

Gross Revenue
    └── 10% ARP (Audience Reward Pool) → distributed to audience
    └── 90% Remaining
        ├── 50% Creator
        └── 50% Platform
            ├── 70% Treasury Operations
            ├── 20% $555 Buyback & Burn
            ├── 5% $555 Reserve
            └── 5% SOL/USDC Reserve

ARP (Audience Reward Pool)

10% of every dollar is taken off the top and distributed to the audience that generated the engagement. This is policy-enforced — not optional, not adjustable by creators or the platform.

Creator Share

50% of post-ARP revenue goes directly to the creator. No negotiation, no minimum thresholds.

Platform Share

50% of post-ARP revenue goes to the platform, allocated as:
  • 70% Treasury: Operational expenses, development, infrastructure.
  • 20% Buyback & Burn: Purchases $555 on the open market and burns it permanently. Creates structural deflation.
  • 5% $555 Reserve: Token reserve for protocol operations.
  • 5% SOL/USDC Reserve: Stablecoin reserve for settlement liquidity.

Points System

Points are the user-facing reward unit.

How Points Work

  1. User plays a game or engages with a stream.
  2. VAP verifies the engagement.
  3. Points are awarded based on the game’s normalization rules.
  4. Points accumulate in the user’s account.

Credits System

Credits are the settlement-ready unit.

Settlement Engine

  • Weekly: Engine snapshots all credit balances and processes USDC payouts.
  • Self-Withdrawal: Users can withdraw earned credits at any time.
  • Minimum: Configurable minimum withdrawal threshold.

The ARP / Buybacks / Treasury Engine (10/20/70)

At the platform level, token allocation follows the 10/20/70 (ARP / Buybacks / Treasury) model:
  • 10% of all ecosystem revenue → ARP (audience rewards)
  • 20% of platform share → $555 buyback and permanent burn
  • 70% of platform share → treasury and operations
This creates a self-reinforcing economic flywheel: more engagement → more revenue → more burns → higher token scarcity → more incentive to participate.
