# Revenue Split

> How network revenue is divided between operators, the platform, stakers, and the \$SGL buy-and-burn.

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

| ------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **80%** | **Node operator** | Paid to the operator whose node served the job   |
| **5%**  | **Platform**      | Funds platform operations                        |
| **10%** | **Stakers**       | The reward pool — paid as **5% USDC + 5% \$SGL** |
| **5%**  | **Burn**          | \$SGL bought on-market and permanently burned    |

## 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 $SGL 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, 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.

<Note>These percentages are network parameters. The current live split is **80 / 5 / 10 / 5** (operator / platform / staker / burn).</Note>
