Core Foundation Launches Revolutionary Profit-Sharing Mechanism Rev+

The Core Foundation announced on July 15, 2025, the launch of an innovative profit-sharing mechanism called Rev+. This is the industry's first protocol-level revenue distribution system, designed to directly reward developers, stablecoin issuers, and decentralized organizations, providing incentives for projects that create real user value.

The core advantage of Rev+ lies in allowing developers to earn a continuous income from the Gas fees generated by their applications. This mechanism enables developers to avoid issuing tokens or designing complex governance structures to achieve revenue, greatly simplifying the profit model.

For a long time, the incentive structure of the blockchain ecosystem has had significant flaws. Although stablecoins drive over $35 trillion in on-chain transaction volume annually, far exceeding the processing amounts of Visa, most of the revenue does not flow to the builders and issuers who truly support these transactions. Hong Sun, Head of Institutional Business at Core, pointed out that the launch of Rev+ will fundamentally change this situation, allowing stablecoin issuers to earn their rightful share of revenues from transactions.

The operation mechanism of Rev+ is very intuitive. On the Core chain, any transaction activity triggered by smart contracts, such as stablecoin exchanges, collateralized liquidity, or treasury operations, allows the issuer to earn income. This income can be distributed directly at the time of the transaction or allocated periodically through the revenue pool at the protocol layer. The revenue pool will be distributed based on the project's overall contribution to the Core chain, taking into account various factors including total transaction volume, number of new independent addresses, nominal transaction amount, and accumulated Gas fees.

In addition, Rev+ has established a dedicated reward pool to give back to developers, integrators, and all contributors who promote ecosystem growth. The more active the network usage, the larger the reward pool, and the higher the earnings for builders.

The launch of Rev+ is of significant importance to the entire cryptocurrency industry. As stablecoins gradually become the dominant force in the crypto space, Rev+ will share Gas fees with token issuers and provide additional incentives to developers and application teams based on usage frequency and transaction volume. This mechanism applies to all assets on Core, including dollar-pegged stablecoins, on-chain representations of real-world assets, NFT collectibles, and exclusive protocols.

Hong Sun emphasized that the original intention of Rev+ was to reward the actual behaviors that drive Core growth. The more transactions there are, the greater the incentives, and both issuers and builders will benefit from this. This is the first time that a monetization model similar to that of traditional internet companies has been realized for on-chain assets.

Data shows that the share of stablecoins in DeFi fees has increased from 4.7% at the beginning of the year to about 30.8%, highlighting the important role of stablecoins in trading, lending, and yield generation.

The Rev+ mechanism of Core has a broader range of benefits compared to existing market models. As long as assets are utilized on Core, both token issuers and developers will become significant beneficiaries of this development. Rev+ adopts an "asset-centric" mechanism to create a fair and sustainable incentive structure for all tokenized projects deployed on Core, rewarding not only dApp builders but also covering a wider range of Web3 contributing teams.

Through Rev+, Core has further solidified its position as a leader in Bitcoin scaling solutions. Core supports self-custody staking for Bitcoin, EVM compatibility, and now true token monetization. As the issuance of stablecoins and DeFi activities continue to grow, Rev+ will ensure that projects can share growth benefits, thereby stimulating stronger network effects and long-term development.

In the coming weeks, Core plans to collaborate with several leading stablecoin projects to promote the implementation of this innovative asset monetization model.

The Core Foundation is committed to promoting the development of the Core blockchain ecosystem. The foundation continuously fosters growth and innovation on the Core blockchain by providing funding, investing in projects, and establishing partnerships. Core is the first and only network to provide an end-to-end proof-of-stake mechanism for Bitcoin, supporting non-custodial Bitcoin staking, and building an EVM-compatible BTCfi ecosystem.
