💼 EGT’s Business Model
💼 EGT’s Business Model
EGT isn’t just a governance token — it’s a critical piece in a real, revenue-generating system. This section explains how EGT fits into the EURG protocol’s value engine, and how it captures, distributes, and multiplies value.
🔁 Protocol Value Loop
At the heart of the EURG system is a self-reinforcing business model driven by real-world use and digital liquidity.
🔄 The Flywheel:
Users mint EURG using stablecoins or fiat
Protocol charges small minting & redemption fees
Revenue enters EGT dividend pool
EGT holders earn yield → demand rises
More EGT stakers participate in governance
Protocol improves → more integrations and EURG usage
Result: a closed, circular economy where value is created, governed, and shared by the community.
📊 Revenue Streams
The EURG protocol generates real-world revenue through multiple product modules:
Minting Fees
Charged on EURG issuance (e.g. 0.1%)
Redemption Fees
Charged when redeeming EURG or xGOLD/xSILVER
EURG API Licensing
Gold-backed APIs for exchanges, wallets, and fintech apps
Institutional Use
Revenue from B2B integrations, settlement rails, or vault routing
DeFi Integrations
Protocol-owned liquidity, staking-as-a-service, governance tooling
Vault & Audit Services
Tokenized infrastructure provided to third-party token issuers
These revenues flow into the EGT Dividend Pool, creating real-yield demand for the governance token.
🏛 Revenue Allocation Strategy
Protocol revenue is not burned or locked — it is actively redistributed to reward growth and sustain security:
EGT Dividend Pool
50%
Quarterly payouts to EGT holders
Ecosystem Growth Fund
25%
Grants, partnerships, integrations
Reserve Vault
15%
Buybacks, insurance, treasury stabilization
Protocol Maintenance
10%
Audits, developer grants, operations
Revenue flows are transparent and governed by DAO vote.
🏗 Example: EURG API Licensing
A fintech exchange integrates EURG as a settlement rail for euro-gold trades. They access our “xGOLD API Brokerage Suite” under a monthly fee contract.
They pay €5,000/month → routed to protocol treasury
50% of it enters EGT Dividend Pool

Simple. Measurable. Earnable.
