We’re introducing a unique approach embedded directly in our tokenomics that ensures developers are rewarded for creating value.
This changes everything about building on GenLayer.
The Developer Revenue Share Model
10% of the fee pool from every transaction interacting with your Intelligent Contract goes directly to you
Up to 10% of each epoch’s inflation distributed to developers proportionally based on their share of total fees generated
Here’s how it works: If total developer fee rewards in an epoch are less than 10% of that epoch’s inflation, you’ll double your rewards. If the total exceeds 10% of inflation, rewards are distributed proportionally. Any undistributed inflation is burned, reducing the total effective inflation for that period.
The bottom line: your rewards scale with your contract’s usage, potentially doubling through inflation matching.
What Does This Mean for You?
When you create Intelligent Contracts that gain adoption and usage, you earn ongoing rewards from the fees they generate. This isn’t a one-time grant or temporary incentive. It’s a sustainable revenue stream that grows with your contract’s success.
Build Once, Earn Forever
Imagine building fundamental infrastructure pieces early in GenLayer’s evolution. As the ecosystem grows and your contracts become essential building blocks used by thousands of other developers and millions of users, you continue earning rewards. Building early means establishing revenue streams that could last for years.
The Composability Advantage
This model leverages the power of Intelligent Contract composability:
-
Build modular components that others can integrate
-
Create libraries and tools that become ecosystem standards
-
Develop protocols that serve as foundations for entire sectors
-
Every integration amplifies your potential rewards
The more useful your contributions, the more the community benefits, and the more you earn. It’s a virtuous cycle where individual success directly correlates with ecosystem value creation.
