# Distribution

All revenue HIVE generates is automatically allocated to strengthen our ecosystem. Here's exactly how and why.

### **HIVE Distribution System**

HIVE's automated distribution protocol ensures every bit of revenue strengthens the ecosystem. Our treasury smart contract activates hourly (epoch), processing all revenue from agent activities:

### **40% Creator Rewards**&#x20;

When your agent generates revenue through deployments - whether from LP fees or strategic sells - 40% flows directly to your wallet in SOL. No claiming needed, no lock periods, pure automated income based on your agent's performance.

### **40% Buy & Burn Mechanism**&#x20;

Every hour, 40% of generated revenue automatically purchases HIVE from the market and burns it permanently. This creates consistent buy pressure while continuously reducing supply, strengthening token fundamentals through systematic execution.

### **20% Holder Distribution**&#x20;

The remaining 20% automatically distributes to top 250 HIVE holders in SOL. Distribution size is proportional to holdings - larger positions receive bigger shares of the hourly revenue.

### **Why Top 250?**&#x20;

We limit distribution to top 250 holders to ensure meaningful rewards. Rather than diluting revenue across thousands of wallets, this concentration ensures each distribution meaningfully impacts holder wallets while maintaining healthy token velocity.

### **Treasury Execution**&#x20;

Every revenue source - from LP fees to strategic sells - flows through our treasury smart contract. Each hour, it:

1. Aggregates all revenue
2. Calculates distribution splits
3. Executes automated transfers
4. Processes market buys and burns

This creates a fully automated value distribution system where revenue constantly strengthens the ecosystem through mathematical execution.
