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.
