# Revenue Calculation & Distribution

The 5% pool is created only after revenue, direct operating costs, reserves, taxes and approved deductions are recorded and verified.

1. **Record operating revenue**

Bookings, experiences, partnerships and other approved Yachtverse revenue are recorded.

2. **Deduct operating costs**

Direct operating expenses, management costs, taxes, reserves and disclosed deductions are applied.

3. **Verify positive distributable income**

No staker pool is created when the result is zero or negative.

4. **Allocate the 5% pool**

Five percent of positive distributable net operating income is assigned to the eligible staker pool.

5. **Calculate wallet shares**

The pool is divided using the published staking-weight and eligibility snapshot rules.

6. **Settle in stablecoin**

The final distribution transaction and settlement report are published.

## Distribution safeguards

- Operating losses are never passed to holders or stakers.
- No fixed yield, guaranteed APY or guaranteed operating profit is promised.
- An NFT does not represent equity or ownership of a yacht or operating company.
- Eligibility, snapshots, formulas and settlement timing are published for each activated cycle.
