The $555 Economy
Render Network’s economy centers on the $555 token and a creator-specific staking model that turns viewers into stakeholders and streams into 24/7 economies.Token: 555 · Public: 92% · Team: 8% (locked 5 years) · Core Mechanism: Algorithmic split of all revenues into 10% ARP, 20%+ Token Buybacks, and 70% Treasury · Stakeholder Model: Viewers stake into creator economies to share revenue and govern the split
Economic Philosophy
Stakeholder Alignment
Viewers become stakeholders via staking, sharing in creator revenue and governance.
Deflationary Pressure
Perpetual buybacks (min 20%) create sustained demand for creator economies.
Sustainable Engagement
A 24/7 gamification loop continuously generates inventory and revenue.

Revenue Distribution — Two-Level Cascade
The same revenue pattern applies at two levels across the ecosystem. At both levels, revenue is processed identically:The Canonical Cascade (applies at both levels): 10% ARP off the top for verified audience members via VAP attention proofs. Post-ARP Split: The remaining 90% splits between Creator and Platform (configurable). Platform Allocation: 70% Treasury (operations), 20% token buyback-and-burn, 5% token reserve, 5% SOL/USDC reserve.
Level 1: Platform Level ($555 as the “Creator”)
At the platform level, 555 ecosystem (creator) and the platform**. The platform’s 50% is allocated: 70% treasury operations, 20% 555 reserve, 5% SOL/USDC reserve.
Level 2: Creator Economy Level (Individual Creator Tokens)
At the creator economy level, individual creator tokens follow the same cascade. 10% ARP off the top for audience rewards, then a configurable creator/platform split on the remaining 90%. Treasury, buybacks, and reserves follow the same pattern within each creator’s economy.
