The network has varied revenue sources:
  1. A portion of publishing and access fees paid by data contributors to publish in datanets.
  2. Datanet lockup fees: datanets must lock 20k REPPO to spin up. Fifty percent remains locked while the datanet is live, and 50% goes to the network.
  3. Datanet emissions tax: datanet owners seed their datanet with either REPPO or their native token. Seeding in REPPO carries no tax. Seeding in a native token collects a 15% tax, which is sent to the Foundation treasury.
Any REPPO bought on the market and seeded acts as direct revenue for REPPO holders. All tax revenue from emissions goes to the treasury, contributing to protocol operations and buybacks. In V2, the majority of publishing fees and access fees go to the datanet owner, minus a small network fee deducted from the total fees accrued by the datanet each epoch. These fees can be paid in USDC or the native token.

Performance Pool

Under the current staking and reward distribution spec, datanet staking rewards come from a Performance Pool. The Performance Pool is funded by:
  • 50% of datanet spin-up fees
  • 10% of all publishing fees
  • 10% of all data access fees
Rewards are not paid from network emissions. Instead, every third epoch, 5% of the Performance Pool is distributed. The current split is governance-adjustable:
  • 80% to REPPO stakers
  • 20% to datanet owners
New datanets are not eligible for Performance Pool rewards in their launch epoch. They must complete one full epoch before earning from the pool.
