Monetization Contract

The Monetization Contract is the planned contract and record design for programmes configured through the Monetization Module. It connects a programme’s agreed terms with records of funding, costs, recipients, allocations, and payments. The allocation, reserve, and reconciliation design described here belongs to SW4P Earn; SW4P provides the settlement role.

​

Programme Terms

A programme’s agreement sets out the work being funded and how its commercial terms apply. It would cover:

• The advertiser, creators, and other contributors.
• The deliverables, placements, and programme dates.
• The budget, pricing basis, assets used for payment, and direct costs.
• The agreed recipients, platform share, and payment conditions.
• Reporting responsibilities and how delivery is measured.
• How changes, cancellations, refunds, and unused funds are handled.

These terms provide the basis for calculating amounts and connecting financial records to the work.

​

Funding and Payment Records

The planned records keep programme funding, service fees, settlement revenue, and token-related revenue distinct. Each funding or payment entry would identify its programme, source, asset, amount, recipient where relevant, and recorded outcome. Escrow and reserve records would state what is held, why it is held, and the programme conditions for releasing or reallocating it. Funding, allocation, and payment events would provide references for attribution and reporting. Reconciliation would account for amounts paid, returned, reserved, or still outstanding.

Settlement and Reward Programmes

SW4P is the intelligent routing and settlement system for moving value across the internet. Its role covers payment routes, fees, execution, confirmation, recovery, and accounting for the result. SW4P Earn extends SW4P’s economic model into source-aware allocation, claims, rewards, payout schedules, reserves, and reconciliation. A proposed reward programme would define its own funding source, eligible activity, recipients, and distribution terms. Current status: SW4P Earn is not yet publicly available. No staking, liquidity, reward, or claim programme is currently open.

​

Changes and Payment Controls

The planned controls cover who can approve changes, spending and rate limits, permitted settlement routes and venues, processing windows, and a way to pause payments when a problem needs attention. Changes to programme terms would retain a record of what changed, who approved it, and when it takes effect. Payment requests and outcomes would remain available for review and recovery.
