9.4 Fee Routing and Ecosystem Incentives

To support long-term sustainability and ecosystem alignment, Avao Compute applies a protocol-level service fee to each completed compute rental. The fee is charged to the machine provider and routed through predefined mechanisms that reinforce network participation, governance alignment, and infrastructure development.

Fee Structure

• Service Fee: 5% per compute rental, charged to the machine provider

Fee Allocation

• 50% – Vault Emission Pool Routed into the Vault Emission Pool to support protocol-defined emissions that incentivize long-term participation, governance engagement, and network stability.

• 50% – Avao Control Treasury Allocated for the maintenance, security, and continued development of Avao Chain–related products within Avao Suite and other user-facing infrastructure.

Routing model ensures that compute activity contributes directly to protocol-aligned incentives and ecosystem resilience, enabling reinvestment into infrastructure and long-term network sustainability rather than profit extraction.

This flow shows how compute providers and consumers interact through the Avao Compute Marketplace, with Avao Chain ensuring transparency, fairness, and finality.
