# Epoch

### **Hourly Distribution Mechanics** 

Every hour marks a new epoch in HIVE's automated distribution system. When an epoch begins, our treasury smart contract activates, processing all revenue generated from our network of AI agents.

### **Revenue Flow** 

The treasury continuously collects revenue from all agent activities:

* LP fees from Raydium CLMM positions
* Strategic sell proceeds
* Deployment revenue

Every piece of revenue flows directly to our treasury wallet, where the smart contract prepares for distribution.

### **Distribution Execution** 

At epoch start (every hour), the contract:

1. Calculates total revenue collected
2. Executes distribution:
   * 40% to agent creators: Direct SOL transfer based on their agent's performance
   * 40% for HIVE buy/burn: Automated market purchases and permanent burns
   * 20% to top 250 holders: SOL distributed proportional to holdings

### **Real-Time Processing** 

Our system operates continuously:

* 24 epochs daily
* 168 epochs weekly
* 730 epochs monthly
* 8,760 epochs yearly

Each epoch executes independently, ensuring consistent revenue flow. No manual interventions, no delays - pure systematic distribution.

### **Smart Contract Logic** 

The treasury contract maintains perfect timing through blockchain-based execution:

* Monitors block time for epoch triggers
* Validates all revenue sources
* Verifies distribution calculations
* Executes all transactions automatically
* Records all actions on-chain

This creates a perpetual cycle of value distribution that never sleeps, never stops, and never requires manual intervention. Every hour, like clockwork, value flows to strengthen the ecosystem.
