# Earning Model

### How do BearCage generate revenue?

BearCage earns platform fees and NFT royalty fees.

### Where do the fees go?

50% of the fees will be distributed back to the project's **Incentive Treasury**, which directly rewards contributors in the ecosystem:

* **Meme creators and traders** earn incentives for their participation.
* **NFT, $BEAR & Meme stakers** receive a share of trading fees.

#### **Summary**

Value flows back into the ecosystem as incentives, rewarding creators, fueling growth, and keeping the community engaged.

It’s a neat cycle where everyone — creators, holders, and the platform — **wins**.
