The Value Flow: From Consumer to Creator & Network

Step 1: Consumer Initiates Payment

A user accesses content on a BitCDN-integrated platform and initiates a payment (e.g., $1.00) using their web3 wallet.

Step 2: BitCDN Platform Service Fee

A small percentage (e.g., 1-3%) is allocated as a service fee to BitCDN to support platform development and operations.

Benefit: Primarily distributed to $BITCDN token stakers.

Step 3: Infrastructure Compensation (Seeders)

A portion is paid via micropayments (BSV, stablecoins) to seeders for data delivery, compensating their bandwidth/storage.

Benefit: Ensures a robust P2P network.

Step 4: Content Revenue (Creators/Rights Holders)

The remainder is distributed to holders of the specific Content Tokens (e.g., $SONG1 FTs) for that content.

Benefit: Empowers creators with direct, transparent monetization.
