Protocol Revenue Allocation
See how AscendLaunch allocates protocol fees across treasury, KNTQ purchases, HYPE purchases, burns, ecosystem support, HYPE rewards and protocol-owned staking.
Current status: token launches and trading on USDC, HYPE and KNTQ pairs, creator fees, coin support, Holder Rewards and Buyback coins are documented as live on Elysium mainnet. Staking, the HYPE Points Program, Ascend NFTs, the Ascend Points Program and ecosystem-token buybacks are documented as not live yet.
Top-level split
The documented model assigns 10% of protocol fees to treasury and 90% to KNTQ and HYPE purchases. Within the purchase allocation, 80% goes to KNTQ and 20% to HYPE.
| Allocation | Share of protocol fees |
|---|---|
| Treasury | 10% |
| KNTQ purchases | 72% |
| HYPE purchases | 18% |
KNTQ and HYPE use
- Purchased KNTQ is divided between burn allocation and strategic ecosystem deployment.
- Purchased HYPE is divided between the HYPE Points Program allocation and protocol-owned staking.
Builder support funding
The documentation also describes AscendLaunch revenue from its share of Elysium sequencer fees as a separate funding stream for builder support, grants and market-readiness initiatives.
