Rewards & revenue model

YLDX is engineered so that the people who hold the token receive the value the treasury generates. This page explains exactly how.

The core rule

> 25% performance fee on client profit → 100% routed to YLDX holders.

YLDX charges a 25% performance fee — levied only on profit generated for clients, not on principal and not as a flat management fee. 100% of that fee flows to YLDX holders, split:

Revenue sources

The performance fee is earned across every part of the platform:

• Stable Pool profit
• Coin Pool profit
• DEX Pool profit
• RWA Index profit
• White-Label deployments (partners running the engine under their brand)

At listing scale this is projected at ≈ $3.35M/year of revenue routed to holders.

Why this design is strong

• Aligned. The platform only earns when clients earn — fees are profit-based.
• Direct. 100% of fees go to holders; the platform does not skim a separate cut.
• Dual benefit. Holders get cash flow (90% dividends) and structural price support (10% buy-back).
• Compounding treasury. Buy-backs accumulate in the locked Governance Treasury, strengthening the DAO over time.

Worked example (illustrative)

Suppose the treasury generates $10M of client profit in a year:

Client profit ............................. $10,000,000
× 25% performance fee ..................... $ 2,500,000  → 100% to holders
   ├── 90% dividends ...................... $ 2,250,000  → paid to YLDX holders
   └── 10% buy-back ....................... $   250,000  → YLDX bought into Treasury

A holder's share of the $2.25M dividend pool is proportional to their staked YLDX.

Rewards calculator

The platform provides a rewards calculator: enter a YLDX holding and an assumed AUM/profit scenario, and it estimates the annual dividend and the holder's pro-rata share. It is a planning tool, not a promise of returns.
