# Monetization

Rebellion generates platform revenue through multiple aligned mechanisms that support both the player experience and long-term ecosystem growth. The model is designed to be sustainable, flexible, and token-integrated, without relying on speculative behavior.

***

#### 1. Entry Fees (USDC/USDT)

* Collected from players entering:
  * Fantasy Mode leagues
  * Pro Mode leagues
  * Predictor games
  * Public and private custom leagues
* A portion of each entry fee (e.g., 10–20%) is retained by the platform
* The remainder goes into the prize pool
* Users who pay entry fees using the **REBEL token** receive a **10–15% fee discount**, encouraging token utility

***

#### 2. Performance & Processing Fees

Additional micro-fees apply to value-added features and high-frequency activity:

* Payout processing (e.g., premium faster-settlement options)
* Frequent league participation (e.g., capped free entries, low-cost tiered replays)
* NFT-based boosts or cosmetics
* Power-ups in Pro Mode
* Hosting custom leagues (e.g., private tournaments for DAOs, influencers, or communities)

Most of these features can be unlocked using **REBEL tokens** or fiat/stablecoin payments.

***

#### 3. Sponsorships & Advertising (Optional in V2)

Once the user base and activity scale, Rebellion will support branded partnerships and monetized visibility features, including:

* Sponsored leagues (e.g., “Solana x ETH Showdown”)
* Featured asset placement (e.g., token or stock of the week)
* In-app branding (leaderboards, dashboards, reward banners)

This model opens doors for collaborations with token teams, exchanges, ETF issuers, and financial content creators.

### 📈 Revenue Use Breakdown (Example)

| Revenue Source      | % Allocation                        |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Entry Fees          | 80% to prize pool, 20% to Rebellion |
| Platform Fees       | 100% to Rebellion                   |
| Sponsorship Revenue | 100% to Rebellion                   |

**Of Rebellion's revenue:**

| Usage                   | Allocation (%) |
| ----------------------- | -------------- |
| Buyback & Burn REBEL    | 30%            |
| REBEL Staker Rewards    | 30%            |
| Dev/Operations Treasury | 40%            |

#### Token-Sink Mechanics

All monetization paths can be optionally paired with **$REBEL token utility**, such as:

* Cosmetic purchases
* Power-up unlocks
* League creation fees
* XP boosts
* Loot box access

This creates ongoing **burn pressure** and token **demand growth** without gating access to core gameplay.
