Platform Treasury
How platform revenue is allocated and distributed
This guide implements Charter Article 10 (oversight requirement). See the Economic Framework Section 8 (Platform Treasury). Read the Charter · Read the Economic Framework
The platform commission (10–15% depending on creator tier), subscription revenue, and premium features revenue accumulate in the Platform Treasury. Every dollar is allocated transparently.
Treasury Allocation
| Fund | Allocation | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | 35% | Servers, LLM costs, sandbox compute, CDN, monitoring |
| Community Fund | 20% | Distributed quarterly to Members based on contribution score |
| Partner Fund | 15% | Distributed quarterly to Partners as perpetual revenue share |
| Governance | 10% | Council operations, mediator compensation, audit trail |
| Safety & Security | 10% | Security scanning, threat monitoring, bug bounty |
| Reserve | 10% | Emergency fund, legal, regulatory compliance |
The Effective Platform Take
35% of Treasury revenue flows directly back to participants through the Community Fund and Partner Fund.
Of every $100 spent on Panoply (at the base tier):
- $85 goes to the creator
- Of the $15 platform share, 35% ($5.25) flows back to Members and Partners
- The remainder funds infrastructure, governance, safety, and reserves
At the highest tier, creators keep $90, and the effective platform take drops further.
The effective platform take is 6.5%.
Transparency
Treasury balances, allocations, and disbursements are published to all participants in real-time via the governance dashboard. No funds are hidden.
