5.1 Revenue Model

APUS Fees and Staking Rewards

APUS allocates a portion of transaction fees toward buyback funds, which are then used for staking rewards and token burns. Distribution ratios are set based on the length of the staking lock period, ensuring that long-term holders receive greater incentives. By striking a balance between deflationary pressure via burns and buying pressure through buybacks, APUS optimizes the supply-demand equilibrium.

GameFi Revenue (In-Game Purchases & NFT Sales)

We will secure development and operational funding through in-game item purchases and NFT character sales in “AntRacing.” By introducing special rare items and seasonal events, users can enjoy the game while actively supporting the project. Additionally, royalties from secondary market trading will be recorded, providing a continuous revenue stream.

Task Bidding and Fulfillment Within the DAO Ecosystem

We are considering a system where members of the Working Ant DAO can bid on or assign tasks such as translations, PR activities, or event planning, receiving ANTH as payment. This creates an internal economic cycle and incentivizes members to directly contribute to project operations. By involving a diverse range of talent, we aim to boost the overall efficiency and creativity of the project.
