# Profit Share

Decentralization runs through the core of Bonsai3. 

Deploying a native token paves the path towards that end goal. It will ultimately enable community ownership of Bonsai3 itself.

The token (ticker: **$SEED**) grants holders a direct stake in Bonsai3 by giving them a pro-rata share of platform profits — and as you can see from the table below, Bonsai3 was designed to be a reliable revenue generator.

| Service          | Fee in USD ($) | Percentage share |
| ---------------- | :------------: | :--------------: |
| **Create token** |       $40      |                  |
| **Launchpad**    |      $500      |        5%        |
| **Vesting**      |      $350      |        1%        |
| **Airdrop**      |       $50      |                  |
| **Private Sale** |      $150      |        3%        |
| **KYC Badge**    |      $500      |                  |

The profit share is powered by token buybacks, with 66% of platform profits redirected to buying $SEED tokens.

A percentage of these tokens is redistributed across $SEED holders, ensuring a direct positive relationship between Bonsai3 and $SEED. The remaining token balance is then burned to create a deflationary dynamic.

The precise mechanic is outlined in the table below.

Beyond granting holders a share of platform profits, $SEED can be used to pay for platform services at a discounted rate. Paying for subscriptions and other premium features will also only be possible in $SEED, adding further token utility.&#x20;

**And one point to note:** payments made in $SEED are burned or locked. As for the [tokenomics](/bonsai3/usdseed-token/tokenomics.md), let's cover that now.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bonsai3.gitbook.io/bonsai3/usdseed-token/profit-share.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
