The Core Foundation and Core DAO have introduced Rev+, a revenue-sharing model designed to distribute gas fee revenue to stablecoin issuers, DAOs, and developers operating within the Core blockchain ecosystem. This initiative allows participants to earn directly from user-generated transaction fees, establishing a sustainable income stream tied to on-chain activity.
According to Hong Sun, Institutional Lead at Core Foundation, "Stablecoins now account for over one-third of DeFi revenue, yet issuers earn nothing from transaction activity. Rev+ aligns incentives so projects powering Web3 get paid when their tokens move." The model dynamically allocates a portion of gas fees to participants, marking a shift in blockchain compensation structures by rewarding actual usage value.
Rev+ aims to boost developer engagement and on-chain transactions by providing tangible economic incentives. Core anticipates this will increase demand for its native token CORE, as fee-sharing mechanisms may enhance token valuation. The EVM-compatible blockchain's approach reduces reliance on token issuance for funding, potentially stabilizing ecosystem growth. Historical parallels suggest such models can temporarily boost governance token prices and liquidity.
