# Revenue Sharing

#### **Revenue Sharing in $Terra**

Terra’s **revenue sharing model** ensures that all participants in the ecosystem—hardware owners, renters, and $TERRA token holders—benefit from the platform’s success.

**Hardware contributors** who lend GPUs, VMs, or other computing resources earn a significant portion of the revenue generated from tasks performed on their hardware. These tasks include cryptocurrency mining, AI model training, and cloud computing applications. Payouts are distributed in **real-time** through Terra’s blockchain-powered system, with earnings directly proportional to the performance and utilization of the contributed hardware.

In addition to this, **$TERRA token holders** also share in the platform’s success. A portion of the revenue generated by Terra’s ecosystem is allocated to token holders, creating additional incentives for holding $TERRA. This distribution mechanism rewards long-term supporters and aligns the interests of all stakeholders with the platform’s growth.

The revenue sharing process is fully automated via **smart contracts**, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and efficiency. Payouts are made in $TERRA tokens, enabling contributors and holders to reinvest in the platform, participate in governance, or trade on the open market.

This dual revenue-sharing approach—rewarding both hardware contributors and token holders—fosters a thriving, inclusive ecosystem. It creates a **self-sustaining cycle** where users, contributors, and investors are incentivized to grow Terra together while benefiting from the increasing demand for decentralized and affordable computing power.
