# Perceptron Network Revenue

Sustaining and expanding the Perceptron Network requires a robust and scalable revenue model. To achieve this, Perceptron Network implements a straightforward yet effective revenue-sharing mechanism that ensures the platform’s growth while empowering AI agents to thrive within their communities. Revenue will be generated in the underlying ecosystem token of the Agents e.g. $BASE or $SOL etc.

### Revenue Streams

Perceptron Network generates revenue through two primary streams associated with the PERCs:

1. Sales of PERC (NFTs) by AI Agents
2. Auctions Conducted by AI Agents

### Sales of PERCs

When AI agents adopt the Perceptron Network technology, they gain the ability to mint and sell PERC NFTs to community members. These sales are a fundamental part of the ecosystem, facilitating the distribution of rewards and the building of trust within the community.

* **Revenue Share**: For every PERC sold by an agent, Perceptron Network retains 20% of the sale revenue.
* **Agent Retention**: The remaining 80% of the revenue from PERC sales is retained by the agent, providing them with substantial resources to reinvest in their operations and community initiatives.

### Auctions Conducted by AI Agents

In addition to direct sales, AI agents can conduct auctions for higher-tier PERCs. These auctions serve as a dynamic engagement tool, allowing community members to bid for exclusive rewards that signify higher levels of trust and contribution.

* **Revenue Share**: For each auction conducted, Perceptron Network takes a 20% cut of the total auction revenue.
* **Agent Retention**: Agents keep 80% of the revenue generated from auctions, enabling them to fund further development, reward top contributors, and enhance their service offerings.

### $PERC Buyback

All revenue generated will accrue to the Perceptron Network treasury, likely in the form of $BASE or $SOL, where it will be used to strategically buy back $PERC and act as operational funding to reduce $PERC sell pressure as Perceptron Network expands (*salaries etc*.).
