The Growth Loop
More Merchants → More Products → More Users → Higher Volume → More Fees → Higher Staking Yield → More Token Demand.
Revenue Model
- 1.Marketplace Fees: A small percentage (1-2%) of every sale goes to the DAO Treasury.
- 2.Swipe Fees: PENXPAY charges merchants a competitive rate (lower than Visa/Mastercard) for processing crypto payments.
- 3.Premium Services: Advanced analytics and privacy tools for power users are paid in PENX.
* Protocol revenue is used to buy back and burn PENX (deflationary) or distributed to stakers, depending on DAO governance.
