Dynamic Protocol Revenue Share Payout & Yield Forecaster 💸
The **Revenue Share Forecaster** is the definitive tool for assessing the real financial sustainability and return for holding governance tokens. It dynamically models the **Gross Payout APY** derived from protocol fees and, crucially, calculates the **Net Payout APY** by subtracting the inflationary dilution cost, ensuring you know your true dollar-denominated return.
📊 Protocol Economics Inputs
The total dollar value of fees (e.g., trading, borrowing interest) the protocol collects in one year.
$10,000,000The percentage of the total protocol fees that are distributed to governance token holders.
50%The current dollar value of the total token supply (all tokens, staked and unstaked).
$1.00BThe annual increase in the total token supply (dilution cost).
5.0%💰 Yield & Sustainability KPIs
Gross Payout APY (%)
The Annual Percentage Yield derived purely from the dollar value of distributed protocol fees.
Net Payout APY (%)
The true return after subtracting the cost of token inflation/dilution. Net Payout > 0 is true yield.
Required Fee Volume for 10% APY ($)
The annual protocol fees required to maintain a sustainable 10% Gross Payout APY (target).
Payout vs. Dilution Multiplier
How many times the fee payout yield covers the inflation cost. A value > 1 is financially profitable.
The Real Yield Era: Calculating Net Profit from Protocol Revenue Sharing
Decentralized protocols are rapidly maturing, transitioning their incentive models from purely inflationary token emissions to distributing real, sustainable dollar value derived from user fees. This shift—known as the 'Real Yield' narrative—is critical for the long-term viability of a token's value proposition. For an investor, the only yield that truly matters is the **Net Payout APY**.
A high token staking APY is meaningless if the value of the rewards is instantly negated by a higher token inflation rate. The **Dynamic Protocol Revenue Share Payout & Yield Forecaster** cuts through the noise, using core financial metrics like **Market Capitalization** and **Protocol Fee Allocation** to determine the genuine financial benefit of holding a governance token.
Gross APY vs. The Inflationary Cost of Dilution
The calculation begins with the **Gross Payout APY**, which is the annual dollar value of fees distributed divided by the total market capitalization of the protocol. This gives the maximum potential yield if inflation were zero:
$$\text{Gross Payout APY (\%)} = \frac{\text{Annual Payout to Stakers (\$) }}{\text{Fully Diluted Market Cap (\$)}} \times 100$$The true cost to any token holder is the annual **Token Inflation Rate**. Inflation devalues every existing token, meaning any gross return must be greater than the inflation rate to preserve purchasing power. The **Net Payout APY** is the ultimate metric for financial health:
$$\text{Net Payout APY (\%)} = \text{Gross Payout APY} - \text{Annual Token Inflation Rate}$$If the **Net Payout APY** is negative, holding the token means the user is still losing purchasing power, even with fees being distributed. The payout simply mitigates the loss caused by inflation rather than providing a true profit.
The Payout vs. Dilution Multiplier (The P/D Ratio)
To simplify the comparison, the **Payout vs. Dilution Multiplier** (or P/D Ratio) shows how many times the fee-based yield covers the inflationary cost. A multiplier of **1.0x** is the breakeven point—the distributed fees exactly counteract the dilution. A multiplier of **2.0x** means the protocol's distributed revenue is twice the value of its inflation. This metric allows for easy comparison across different protocols:
$$\text{Payout vs. Dilution Multiplier} = \frac{\text{Gross Payout APY}}{\text{Annual Token Inflation Rate}}$$A governance token with a high P/D Ratio signals a strong business model, one where the protocol is financially sound and capable of sustaining token value through organic revenue generation rather than speculative hype.
Required Protocol Fee Volume for Sustainability
For protocols launching a revenue-share model, the tool provides the crucial sustainability check: the **Required Fee Volume for 10% APY**. This calculates the minimum **Annual Protocol Fees** needed to hit a competitive 10% gross yield, given the current **Market Cap** and the chosen **Fee Allocation**:
$$\text{Required Fees}= \frac{\text{Target APY} \times \text{Market Cap}}{\text{Fee Allocation \%}}$$If the required volume far exceeds the protocol’s current fees, the target yield is unsustainable and likely based on future, speculative growth. Investors can use this to gauge the risk of holding the token today.
By using the dynamic sliders, you can simulate a soft-launch of a revenue-share model. You can increase the **Fee Allocation** from 0% to 100% and instantly observe the impact on the **Net Payout APY** for the community, allowing governance decisions to be driven by clear financial modeling.
