Protocol Participation Rewards

$EITHER distributes protocol rewards exclusively to participants who perform qualifying actions within the ecosystem. Yield is derived from the participant's own effort and output. Not from the activity of others.

This structure is intentional and material to the protocol's legal positioning. The reward mechanism is designated as Protocol Participation Rewards. Not revenue share.

Qualifying Actions

• Deploying an application on the Eitherway platform

• Running compute prompts and build operations

• Referring new builders to the protocol

• Publishing and selling in the Eitherway marketplace

• Staking $EITHER and maintaining an active lock position

• Accumulating developer reputation score through sustained on-chain activity

Incentives Pool Structure

• 5% of total token supply (5,000,000 $EITHER) is allocated to the Protocol Incentives Pool at genesis

• The pool is replenished monthly from 5-10% of gross platform revenue

• A minimum pool floor is maintained equivalent to 6 months of projected reward outflows

• If the pool falls below the floor threshold, the replenishment rate increases automatically until the floor is restored

• Reward distributions are paid in USDC where operationally viable, preserving $EITHER price integrity
