Revenue Sharing
How Silverback protocol revenue flows back to $BACK holders.
Revenue Model
Silverback generates revenue from multiple sources, all contributing to holder benefits:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ REVENUE SOURCES │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ DEX Fees (Base & Keeta) │
│ + Treasury Trading Profits │
│ + Cross-Chain Arbitrage │
│ + Future Revenue Streams │

1. DEX Protocol Fees
Every swap on Silverback DEX generates fees:
Base
0.3%
Majority
Portion to treasury
Keeta AMM
0.3%
Majority
Portion to treasury
Keeta Anchors

Pool creator
Small protocol cut
The protocol's share of fees contributes to buybacks.
2. Treasury Trading Profits
The Silverback AI agent actively trades with treasury capital:
Systematic, data-driven strategies
Strict risk management (max 2% per trade)
Multiple strategies: arbitrage, perpetuals, liquidity provision
Profits contribute to buyback pool
3. Cross-Chain Arbitrage
Operating across Base and Keeta enables arbitrage opportunities:
Price discrepancies between networks
Atomic execution reduces risk
AI agent identifies and executes opportunities
Profits flow to treasury
4. Future Revenue Streams
As Silverback expands:
Additional network deployments
Fiat on-ramp fees
Premium features
Partnership revenue
Buyback Mechanism
How It Works
Revenue Accumulates — From all sources above
Buybacks Execute — Treasury purchases $BACK from market
Pool Fills — Bought tokens enter staking reward pool
Stakers Earn — Rewards distributed to stakers
Why Buybacks?
Mint new tokens
Dilutes holders, inflation
Distribute revenue
Taxable event, fragmented
Buybacks → Staking
Buy pressure + sustainable rewards
Buybacks create natural demand while providing real yield to stakers.
Transparency
On-Chain Verification
All revenue and buybacks are verifiable on-chain:
Treasury wallet publicly viewable
Buyback transactions traceable
Staking pool balances visible
Distribution history available
Reporting
Silverback provides regular updates on:
Trading performance (without revealing strategies)
DEX volume and fees generated
Buyback amounts and timing
Staking pool growth
Sustainable Economics
The Problem with Most DeFi
Many protocols:
Promise high APY through inflation
Mint tokens faster than they create value
Result: Token price declines, real returns negative
Unsustainable "ponzinomics"
Silverback's Approach
Revenue-backed rewards — Only distribute what's earned
No inflation — Fixed supply, buybacks only
Real yield — Returns from actual protocol usage
Aligned incentives — Team succeeds when holders succeed
Estimating Returns
Your share of revenue depends on:
Protocol Revenue
More revenue = larger buybacks
Your Stake %
Larger stake = larger share
Total Stakers
More stakers = more division
Buyback Timing
Market conditions affect quantities
Note: Returns will vary. Higher protocol adoption and trading volume generally leads to better staking returns.
FAQ
How often do buybacks happen? Schedule TBD — likely based on accumulated revenue thresholds or time intervals.
Can I see buyback transactions? Yes, all transactions will be visible on-chain and reported.
What if trading has losses? The AI agent uses strict risk management. Losses reduce buyback amounts but don't create obligations for holders.
Is this sustainable long-term? Yes — rewards scale with actual revenue. No promises of fixed APY, just fair share of real profits.
Do I need to stake to benefit? Buybacks benefit all holders through buy pressure. Staking lets you also earn direct rewards from the pool.
