The fee corresponds to 0.3% of the staking tokens. ### IDO implementation rewards The protocol side receives a token allocation of 5% as a reward for implementing IDOs in GaiaStartar. This is automatically allocated by the smart contract to the wallet of the protocol side and to our treasury at the time the IDO participant purchases the tokens (harvest). ## Where are the revenues managed? It is managed by the treasury. Wallet Address : soon ## How are revenues distributed? ### All of the revenue stored in the treasury. #### All SAI token is burned #### What about revenue coming in at $USDC? * 50% goes towards development and operating costs * 50% is invested in assets and the investment income and * Buyback at 50%. * 50% to buy tokens for related services and airdrop to GaiaStarter #### The time at which the operation will be terminated will be decided by a vote of SAI holders. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://magpy.gitbook.io/gaiastarter/general/revenue-structure.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
