Revenue Share (Hold-to-Earn)¶
Earn USDT just by holding KAWAI tokens!
🎯 Overview¶
Revenue Share, also known as "Hold-to-Earn", is a unique reward system where KAWAI token holders receive 100% of the platform's net profit in USDT, distributed proportionally based on their token holdings.
Key Benefits
- 💰 Passive Income - Earn USDT weekly without any action
- 📊 Proportional Distribution - Fair share based on holdings
- 🔓 No Lock Required - Just hold tokens in your wallet
- 💵 Stable Rewards - Earn in USDT, not volatile tokens
- 🌱 Sustainable - Tied to real platform revenue
💡 How It Works¶
The Formula¶
Your weekly USDT reward is calculated using this simple formula:
Example Calculation¶
Scenario:
- Total KAWAI Supply: 100,000,000 KAWAI
- Your KAWAI Balance: 1,000,000 KAWAI (1% of supply)
- Weekly Net Profit: 10,000 USDT
Your Share:
Annual Projection:
Weekly: 100 USDT
Monthly: ~400 USDT
Yearly: ~5,200 USDT
Annual Yield: 5,200 USDT / Investment = ROI%
📈 Revenue Sources¶
Platform profit comes from real business activities:
Phase 1: Mining Era (Current)¶
- Users pay USDT for AI services
- Platform accumulates treasury
- KAWAI tokens minted as rewards
- Minimal USDT distribution (accumulation phase)
Phase 2: USDT Era (After 1B Supply)¶
- No more token minting
- All revenue distributed to holders
- Contributors paid in USDT (not KAWAI)
- Full revenue sharing activated
💰 Profit Calculation¶
Revenue Breakdown¶
Total Revenue (100%):
Operating Costs (~90% of gross revenue):
- Contributor Costs: 85-90% of gross revenue (GPU providers)
- Developer Costs: 5% of gross revenue (platform maintenance)
- User Cashback: 5% of gross revenue (use-to-earn)
- Affiliator Commission: 0-5% of gross revenue (referral rewards)
Note: Percentages are of gross revenue. Total operating costs target ~90%.
Net Profit (~10%):
Distribution:
Example Revenue Flow¶
Weekly Platform Activity:
Total AI Requests: 111,000,000 tokens processed
Cost per 1M tokens: 1 USDT
Total Revenue: 111 USDT
Operating Costs (90% of revenue):
- Contributors: 85 USDT (85% of 100)
- Developers: 5 USDT (5% of 100)
- Users: 5 USDT (5% of 100)
- Affiliators: 5 USDT (5% of 100)
Total Costs: 100 USDT
Net Profit: 11 USDT (~10% of revenue → distributed to KAWAI holders)
Profit Margins
Actual profit margins depend on:
- Platform efficiency
- Contributor costs
- Service pricing
- Network utilization
Target margin: 10-20% net profit

💡 Maximizing Your Revenue Share¶
Strategy 1: Accumulate Early¶
Why it matters:
- Lower token price in Phase 1
- Higher percentage of supply
- Compounding effect over time
Example:
Buy 1M KAWAI at $0.01 = $10,000 investment
If supply is 100M, you own 1%
At 1B supply, you still own 1% (if you hold)
Strategy 2: Hold Long-Term¶
Benefits:
- Weekly USDT income
- No need to sell tokens
- Benefit from network growth
- Potential token appreciation
Comparison:
Trader: Buy low, sell high (risky, timing-dependent)
Holder: Earn dividends forever (passive, sustainable)
Strategy 3: Reinvest Dividends¶
Compound your earnings:
Week 1: Earn 100 USDT → Buy 10,000 KAWAI
Week 2: Earn 101 USDT (slightly more)
Week 3: Earn 102 USDT (compounding effect)
...
Year 1: Significantly higher holdings
Strategy 4: Diversify Holdings¶
Balance your portfolio:
- 50% KAWAI (for dividends)
- 30% USDT (for stability)
- 20% Other assets (for diversification)
🔍 Understanding Dilution¶
What is Dilution?¶
As more KAWAI tokens are minted, your percentage of total supply decreases:
Initial: 1M KAWAI / 100M supply = 1%
Later: 1M KAWAI / 1B supply = 0.1%
Your share percentage decreased by 10x!
Does Dilution Matter?¶
Yes and No:
The Bad News:
- Your % share decreases
- Each token represents smaller ownership
The Good News:
- Total profit pool grows with network
- More users = more revenue
- Absolute USDT earnings can stay same or increase
Example:
Phase 1 (100M supply):
- Your holdings: 1M KAWAI (1%)
- Weekly profit: 1,000 USDT
- Your share: 10 USDT
Phase 2 (1B supply):
- Your holdings: 1M KAWAI (0.1%)
- Weekly profit: 10,000 USDT (10x growth)
- Your share: 10 USDT (same!)
Mitigating Dilution¶
Strategies:
1. Accumulate Early - Buy when supply is low
2. Earn Rewards - Get free tokens from other systems
3. Compound - Reinvest dividends to maintain %
4. Long-term Hold - Benefit from network growth

❓ Common Questions¶
Q: When does revenue sharing start?¶
A: Full revenue sharing begins in Phase 2, after the 1 Billion KAWAI supply is reached. Currently in Phase 1 (Mining Era), minimal distributions may occur as platform accumulates treasury.
Q: Do I need to lock my tokens?¶
A: No! Just hold KAWAI in your wallet. No staking or locking required. You can trade anytime.
Q: How often are distributions?¶
A: Weekly settlements every Monday at 00:00 UTC. You can claim anytime after settlement.
Q: What if I don't claim?¶
A: Your rewards never expire! Claim whenever convenient. However, consider gas fees when claiming small amounts.
Q: Can I sell tokens after claiming?¶
A: Yes! After claiming, USDT is yours to use however you want. Your KAWAI tokens remain in your wallet.
Q: Is this sustainable?¶
A: Yes! Unlike ponzi schemes, revenue comes from real AI service payments. As long as people use the platform, there's revenue to distribute.
Q: What's the minimum holding to earn?¶
A: No minimum! Even 1 KAWAI earns proportional rewards. However, very small holdings may not justify gas fees for claiming.
Q: How is this different from staking?¶
A:
- Staking: Lock tokens, earn new tokens (inflationary)
- Revenue Share: Hold tokens, earn USDT from profit (sustainable)
Q: What affects my earnings?¶
A:
1. Your KAWAI holdings (more = higher %)
2. Total supply (lower = higher %)
3. Platform revenue (higher = more USDT)
4. Network growth (more users = more profit)
