Revenue, Treasury and Buy-Backs
Where the 1% goes: a visible path from chargeable activity to treasury governance.
The 1% agent fee creates a potential protocol revenue stream whenever chargeable activity occurs. Motes intends to use revenue for buy-backs and additional ecosystem operations.
The split between these uses, execution timing, treasury policies and buy-back methodology are not fixed in the present protocol description.

Gross and net revenue
A buy-back may be funded from revenue as governed by the published policy. There is no representation that all revenue is used for buy-backs, or that buy-backs result in price appreciation.

Treasury reporting
A mature revenue dashboard distinguishes fees accrued, fees actually received, reversals, operating costs, treasury balances and buy-back transactions executed on-chain. Public transparency is a design objective. Reporting cadence and governance procedures will be announced separately.
