Revenue & Incentives Model
SocialBlock is designed to be a self-sustaining, revenue-generating ecosystem that balances profitability, community incentives, and long-term sustainability. The revenue streams ensure platform growth, while the incentives structure rewards users, communities, and developers for engagement and contributions.
🔹 Revenue Model: How SocialBlock Generates Sustainable Income
To maintain operational costs, fund ecosystem development, and support community incentives, SocialBlock utilizes multiple revenue streams:
1️⃣ Transaction Fees (Buy/Sell Tax on $SBT)
A small buy/sell tax is applied to all $SBT transactions (powered by Solana Token 2022 program).
Revenue Allocation: 🔹 50% → DAO Treasury (Funds staking rewards, airdrop campaigns, and ecosystem growth). 🔹 25% → Development Fund (Platform maintenance, feature upgrades, and new integrations). 🔹 15% → Community Incentives (Referral rewards, social tasks, and engagement bounties). 🔹 10% → Liquidity Pool (Ensures long-term token stability and prevents volatility).
2️⃣ Profile Verification & Domain Minting (Premium Identity Features)
To verify a Web3 profile, users must pay a one-time verification fee in $SBT (similar to X’s verification model).
Verified users gain: ✔ Higher credibility and trust. ✔ Access to exclusive SocialFi rewards. ✔ Featured placement in trending communities.
Domain Minting:
Community builders must mint a domain (as an NFT) using $SBT to establish official community pages.
The minting fee supports the DAO treasury and ensures only serious projects participate.
NFT-based ownership ensures security, decentralization, and full control over communities.
3️⃣ Staking Fees & DAO Governance
Users staking $SBT earn rewards but must commit to governance participation.
A small withdrawal fee (if unstaked early) is redirected to the DAO to disincentivize short-term farming and encourage long-term holding.
Governance voters may earn additional staking rewards based on participation and proposal contributions.
4️⃣ Social Tasks & Airdrop Campaign Fees (B2B Revenue Stream)
Projects and communities looking to launch engagement campaigns, airdrops, and quests must pay a listing fee in $SBT.
These funds support: ✔ Ongoing SocialBlock feature development. ✔ Reward pools for users who complete social tasks. ✔ Marketing and adoption efforts to attract more projects and partners.
5️⃣ Advertising & Sponsored Listings (Web3 Native Ads)
Verified projects and DAOs can pay in $SBT to have their communities featured in: 🔹 Trending community rankings. 🔹 SocialBlock’s Discover Page (for new projects). 🔹 Targeted placements within live chatrooms and social feeds.
Unlike traditional ads, SocialBlock ensures ads are Web3-native, non-intrusive, and token-gated, improving user experience and engagement rates.
🔹 Incentives Model: How SocialBlock Rewards the Community
A core pillar of SocialBlock’s success is ensuring users, creators, and developers are rewarded for participation.
1️⃣ Referral & Affiliate Program
Users, influencers, and projects can earn $SBT by referring new members to SocialBlock.
Rewards scale based on: ✔ Number of referrals. ✔ Activity of referred users (profile creation, staking, community participation). ✔ Total transaction volume generated by referrals.
Community builders can also earn affiliate commissions by onboarding new Web3 projects to SocialBlock.
2️⃣ Social Tasks & Engagement Rewards
Users can complete social engagement tasks (liking, sharing, commenting, joining communities) to earn $SBT rewards.
Projects fund these tasks through paid campaigns, ensuring a win-win model for both users and advertisers.
3️⃣ Staking & Governance Rewards
Long-term stakers earn compounding rewards from the DAO treasury.
Active governance participants receive bonus incentives to encourage meaningful contributions.
4️⃣ Creator & Developer Incentives
Developers who build custom features, plugins, or smart contracts for SocialBlock can monetize their work through: ✔ DAO funding proposals. ✔ Community tipping & grant allocations. ✔ Revenue-sharing from premium features.
Content creators can earn rewards by producing valuable content, hosting live streams, or running exclusive token-gated communities.
🔹 Long-Term Sustainability Strategy
1️⃣ Circular Economy: Revenue from transaction fees, domain minting, and social tasks funds rewards, ensuring sustainability. 2️⃣ DAO-Controlled Treasury: The SocialBlock DAO oversees revenue distribution to avoid centralization and ensure community-driven fund allocation. 3️⃣ Token Buyback & Burn Mechanism: A portion of revenue is used for strategic token burns to create deflationary pressure, maintaining $SBT’s long-term value. 4️⃣ Expanding Web3 Partnerships: SocialBlock will partner with DAOs, DeFi projects, and NFT communities to increase adoption, liquidity, and cross-ecosystem rewards.
🔹 Conclusion
SocialBlock’s revenue model ensures sustainability, while its incentives empower users, creators, and projects. With strategic revenue streams, a self-sustaining DAO, and rewarding participation mechanisms, SocialBlock is designed for long-term success and community ownership. 🚀
