# Revenue Model

Every transaction on the Whalepod Metaverse claws back a certain % of WLPD. Some of it is burnt (to gradually reduce the WLPD supply), with the rest going to the Whalepod Treasury (we classify this as fees). Transactions are on the blockchain and verifiable to ensure a trust-free relationship between all stakeholders.&#x20;

\*\* 5% of the same goes to the staking pool

WLPD tokens are sold from the Treasury to the open exchanges from time-to-time to take care of Whalepod's operational expenses.
