## Token Utility

### 1. Revenue Share

Holders who stake $CASE receive a share of protocol fees:

| Fee Source     | Total Fee | To Stakers | To Creator | To Protocol |
| -------------- | --------- | ---------- | ---------- | ----------- |
| Graduation fee | 2.0%      | 0.5%       | 0.5%       | 1.0%        |
| Trading fees   | \~0.2%    | \~0.05%    | \~0.05%    | \~0.1%      |

> **Note:** Bonding phase has **0% fees**. Revenue is generated at graduation and on order book trades.

**Eligibility:**

* Minimum stake: **10,000 $CASE** (0.001% of supply)
* Must be actively staked in the protocol

### 2. Market Creation Benefits

Stakers receive enhanced benefits when creating markets:

* Reduced bonding thresholds
* Priority resolution access
* Enhanced creator rewards

## Revenue Share Mechanics

### How It Works

1. Protocol fees accumulate in the fee vault
2. Fees are distributed proportionally to stakers
3. Claim available at any time (no auto-compound)

### Distribution Formula

```
Your Share = (Your Staked CASE / Total Staked CASE) × Fee Pool
```

### Example

| Metric         | Value             |
| -------------- | ----------------- |
| Total staked   | 100,000,000 $CASE |
| Your stake     | 500,000 $CASE     |
| Weekly fees    | $10,000 USDC      |
| **Your share** | **$50 USDC**      |

## Key Metrics

| Metric                         | Value             |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------- |
| Total Supply                   | 1,000,000,000     |
| Max Circulating (Year 1)       | \~300,000,000     |
| Staking Threshold              | 10,000 $CASE      |
| Max Revenue Share Participants | \~100,000 wallets |
