Every paid compute job on the network is split four ways. This is where the staker reward pool is funded.

​
The staker 10%, in detail

The staker share is funded as two streams:
  • 5% in USDC is deposited directly into the USDC reward pool.
  • **The remaining staker portion is bought as SGLontheopenmarket∗∗anddepositedintotheSGL on the open market** and deposited into the SGL reward pool. The same buy-and-burn flow also burns 5% of revenue worth of $SGL — reducing supply.
So stakers receive both USDC and SGL,andthenetworkcontinuouslybuysandburnsSGL, and the network continuously buys and burns SGL from real revenue.

​
Why this matters

  • Stakers are paid from genuine usage, not inflation — there’s no emission schedule minting new tokens for rewards.
  • The burn is deflationary and funded by the same revenue, aligning stakers and holders.
  • Operators keep the lion’s share (80%) for doing the actual work, on top of earning staking rewards on their bonded $SGL.
These percentages are network parameters. The current live split is 80 / 5 / 10 / 5 (operator / platform / staker / burn).
