Start With the Source
Programme funding, service fees, settlement revenue, and token-related revenue have separate purposes and records. The Economic Model groups commercial revenue into programme and implementation work, settlement and usage, and recurring services. The source-specific allocation follows the agreements and costs associated with that activity. Money supplied to fund work is tracked separately from revenue earned for delivering it. Amounts owed to creators, audiences, collaborators, and providers remain identified with those recipients.The Source Waterfall
A waterfall is the order in which amounts are accounted for. The corpus defines the following sequence:
Start with gross value from the identified revenue source. The first step accounts for amounts that must be covered before the source’s platform share is recognised.
Direct execution costs and realised loss provisions are then accounted for when calculating deployable surplus. Recognised platform revenue and deployable surplus are separate amounts in the model.
The planned buyback percentage uses eligible recognised platform revenue as its basis.
Planned Source Allocations
SW4P protocol-fee allocation
The corpus’s SW4P planning model uses a 50-basis-point protocol fee, equivalent to 0.50%. This is a planning rate. The following percentages apply to the protocol-fee amount:
The platform portion has its own planning allocation:
The second table applies to the platform portion identified in the first table. Its buyback line follows the eligible-revenue policy below.
Media and product programmes
The corpus’s planned media and product split applies to distributable programme value, after the source’s senior obligations:
Audience and creator liabilities are amounts assigned to those participants under the programme’s terms. The platform portion follows its source-specific treasury policy, including the 20% buyback allocation on eligible recognised platform revenue.
The remaining platform allocation varies by source and economic lifecycle.
Creator and market-derived fees
Token-related sources, including creator and market-derived fees, keep their own source-labelled records and waterfall. The corpus recognises these fees only once they have been generated, claimed, and settled. It describes their entry into the allocation model after generation, claim, settlement, and reconciliation.Eligible Revenue and the Buyback Policy
The planned treasury policy assigns 20% of eligible recognised platform revenue to $555 buybacks after the source’s statutory, contractual, payment, refund, and other senior obligations have been met. The buyback and treasury-allocation basis excludes:- Gross transaction volume.
- User principal.
- Creator and audience liabilities.
- Restricted liquidity and route inventory.
- Borrowed or third-party capital.
Settlement and Programme Records
SW4P is the intelligent routing and settlement system for moving value across the internet. It coordinates route selection, 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. The audience, liquidity-provider, and staker allocations described above belong to that programme model. A programme’s terms would define eligible activity, funding, recipients, allocation calculations, claim timing, and treatment of reserved or outstanding amounts. Current status: SW4P Earn is not yet publicly available. No staking, liquidity, reward, or claim programme is currently open. An experience may also use points or credits. Its terms explain what they record and any conversion, expiry, transfer, or claim conditions.Go Deeper
