Revenue share - star docs

Status: Available on request. Book a call to configure one. CLI support is in development. A revenue share is a fixed percentage of your sales. You commit to it before the round opens. A smart contract enforces it. Holders receive the value through onchain buybacks of your token.

Standalone or combined

A revenue share works with any ownership structure:

On its own: the token carries the revenue share and nothing else. Your Delaware C-Corp, your cap table, and your IP are not changed. This is the simplest structure on Star.
Next to a structure: a Bedrock, DAO, or ACE launch can commit a revenue share as well.

Configuration

Parameter	Options
Share of revenue	A fixed percentage. Set before launch. Not adjustable after launch
Trigger	Day one, a calendar date, or a revenue milestone (example: $50K MRR)
Delivery	Onchain buybacks of your token
Visibility	Each execution appears on a public dashboard

Program design

Decision	Options	Note
Disposition	Burn the bought tokens, or hold them in the treasury	Set per raise
Cadence	Continuous, or batched on a schedule	Batched execution reduces price impact per purchase
Venue	The token’s own liquidity pool	The same pool that the raise seeds

A stronger commitment from day one catalyzes more distribution early. A trigger at a revenue milestone keeps early cash in the company. Both are valid; the market prices the difference.

How equity investors see it

The revenue share is a fixed, disclosed obligation. Equity investors price it into your valuation, in the same way that they price a licensing fee or a royalty. Nothing else on the cap table changes, and later venture rounds proceed normally.

Why buybacks

A buyback delivers the same value as a cash distribution, but through the market. Holders see the buy pressure and decide when to sell. Value accrues to the token. No dividend-type payment occurs.
