# 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.
