# Tokenomics & Revenue

## Revenue Model

Every interaction made through Redacted involves a **15 basis point (0.15%) fee**. While this fee is minimal on an individual level, it forms a significant revenue stream across the multitude of daily transactions on the platform.

### Revenue Split

| Recipient             | Share           |
| --------------------- | --------------- |
| **$RED stakers**      | 50% of all fees |
| **Ronin NFT holders** | 50% of all fees |

Fees are distributed directly — $RED stakers and Ronin NFT holders both receive their share of protocol revenue.

### Revenue Example

* Alice swaps 10,000 USDT to USDC through Redacted
* At 15 bps (0.15%), this costs 15 USDT in fees
* 7.50 USDT is distributed across $RED stakers
* 7.50 USDT is distributed to Ronin NFT holders

### Revenue Projections

At an average of $50M monthly volume in later stages: \~$75,000/month in fees split equally between $RED stakers and Ronin NFT holders.

Starting at $1.5M monthly volume, growing by $500K/month — yields significant cumulative fees within the first two years of operation.

## $RED(acted) Token

### Own RED(acted)

Dual-functioning as a **utility and governance token**, $RED emerges from a total supply of exactly **100,000,000 $RED** — offering an opportunity to own a piece of Redacted.

Hold $RED and you're not just a token holder — you're a part-owner of Redacted, entitled to **50% of all protocol fees**, paid directly to your wallet.

The remaining 50% is dedicated to Ronin NFT holders.

$RED is planned to launch via the **RUJI Launchpad**, with a **$50,000 token swap and staking pact** aligning interests between RUJI and RED — keeping Redacted operationally independent while sharing mutual incentives.

**Total Supply: 100,000,000 $RED**

## Ronin NFT

### The OG Community Asset

* **Collection Size:** 2,968 Ronin-inspired NFTs
* **Revenue Sharing:** Each NFT grants its holder a **50% share of all fees** generated by Redacted

Owning a Ronin NFT is synonymous with owning a 50% stake in Redacted's revenue. The remaining 50% of fees are allocated to $RED stakers — creating a balanced, dual-stakeholder ecosystem.

### History

In **February 2022**, under our former name **TerraBay**, we launched the Ronin NFT collection on the Terra blockchain. The collection sold 2,968 units, raising **742,000 UST**. The funds were designated for protocol development, which was largely completed before the collapse of UST and LUNA.

The Ronin NFT, originally minted on Terra Classic, seamlessly transitioned to **Terra V2 in July 2022**. During this transition, we launched our first privacy-centric protocol on Terra V2 — showcasing our adaptability and dedication to delivering value.

Recognizing the need for a more robust ecosystem for our \~1,100 Ronin NFT holders, we migrated to our current home. Ronin NFTs are now on **Arbitrum** and will become tradable through the RUJI Collections interface on Rujira.

**Ronin NFT holders were compensated throughout every transition** — our commitment to their long-term value has never wavered.

### Deployed Contracts (Arbitrum)
