Revenue Pool Distribution Method
Definition and Goals of the Revenue Pool
The ZenWaves revenue pool is a shared fund composed of various income sources, designed to distribute platform revenue fairly and transparently. Its goal is to incentivize creators, users, and the community to collectively drive the growth of the functional music ecosystem. Through the revenue pool mechanism, creators’ work is fairly rewarded, while ensuring sustainable platform operations and innovation.
Revenue Sources for the Pool
The ZenWaves revenue pool comprises the following income streams:
1. Music Playback Revenue
Revenue generated from user-paid streams or advertisements displayed during music playback.
Ad-supported content from free users also contributes a portion of revenue to the pool.
2. NFT Transaction Revenue
Earnings from the initial sale and resale of music NFTs.
Each NFT resale generates royalties, which are also added to the revenue pool.
3. Subscription Fees
Revenue from basic and premium user subscriptions, with a portion allocated to the revenue pool to incentivize creators and support platform operations.
4. Promotion Package Fees
Fees paid by creators to enhance their music’s visibility through promotion packages.
5. Advertising Revenue
A share of advertising income generated on the ZenWaves platform is contributed to the pool to support platform growth and distribution.
Revenue Pool Distribution Rules
ZenWaves’ revenue distribution mechanism operates on smart contracts, ensuring all allocation processes are open and transparent. Key distribution rules include:
1. Creator Shares
Proportion: 80%
The majority of the revenue pool funds reward music creators.
Playback Revenue: Allocated based on a track’s share of total platform plays.
NFT Royalties: Creators earn a fixed percentage (e.g., 10%) from every NFT transaction.
Example: If a creator’s music accounts for 5% of total platform plays in a month, and the total revenue pool is $100,000, the creator earns: $100,000 \times 80\% \times 5\% = $4,000
2. Platform Operations Fund
Proportion: 10%
Supports technology development, server maintenance, and marketing.
Ensures continuous optimization of ZenWaves’ features to deliver better experiences for creators and users.
Funds global expansion and brand building initiatives.
3. Community Incentive Fund
Proportion: 10%
Designed to incentivize user participation in platform growth and governance.
Active User Rewards: For users who frequently engage in voting, commenting, and submitting proposals.
Governance Rewards: For DAO members contributing actively to platform governance.
Promotion Rewards: Referral commissions earned by users who promote the platform through the invitation program.
Smart Contract Distribution Process
The revenue pool distribution is fully automated via smart contracts, eliminating manual intervention and ensuring efficiency and transparency:
Revenue Collection
The platform aggregates all revenue sources, including playback revenue, NFT sales, and advertising income, into the revenue pool in real time.
Data Analysis
Smart contracts dynamically calculate distribution proportions based on creator playback counts, NFT transaction data, and community contributions.
Revenue Allocation
Revenue is automatically settled at regular intervals (e.g., monthly), with payouts directly sent to creators’ and community members’ wallets. Withdrawals can be made anytime.
Advantages of the Revenue Pool Distribution
1. Transparency and Fairness
All revenue distribution data is recorded on the blockchain, allowing creators and community members to verify transactions in real time.
2. Incentivizing Continuous Creation
Creators receive stable and sustainable income from the revenue pool, motivating them to produce more high-quality content.
3. Enhanced User and Community Engagement
The community incentive fund demonstrates the value of participating in platform governance, increasing user loyalty and activity.
4. Sustainable Platform Development
Balanced fund allocation ensures resources for technology development and market expansion, supporting ZenWaves’ long-term growth.
Revenue Pool Distribution Example
Scenario:
Total revenue pool for a month: $1,000,000
Allocation:
Creator Shares (80%): $800,000
Distributed among all creators based on playback and NFT transactions.
Platform Operations Fund (10%): $100,000
Used for server maintenance, technology updates, and marketing.
Community Incentive Fund (10%): $100,000
Rewards active users, governance contributors, and promoters.
Example for a Creator:
A creator’s music accounts for 3% of total platform plays in the month: $1,000,000 \times 80\% \times 3\% = $24,000
Future Optimization of the Revenue Pool
1. Dynamic Allocation Ratios
Adjust creator, platform, and community share ratios based on platform development stages and market needs for optimal resource utilization.
2. Expanded Revenue Sources
Introduce additional revenue streams, such as enterprise subscription services and offline collaboration event income.
3. Smart Contract Optimization
Enhance allocation efficiency and minimize delays, ensuring creators and users receive rewards more promptly.
