# Full Stack Monetization

## Protocol Revenue (what Parad0x-Labs captures)

### 1. NULL Name Registration Fees

* **Rate:** \~0.01 SOL per standard name, all-in (rent + a \~0.007 SOL protocol fee), config-set
* **Status:** Off during the pilot — not yet live (fee flips on with one `SetConfig` call)
* **Mechanic:** Standard names pay a small fixed **SOL** fee to the protocol treasury — or pay in **NULL for \~20% less**. Priced in SOL so it never chases a token's price; the NULL path gives holders a built-in discount. Premium 1–3 char names go through the auction program instead.

### 2. Premium Auction Revenue

* **Program:** null-auction live at `7uxLhqLzkEzPpkvdmTwqgL3g66yq2aMBS5QgcjaZZEaw`
* **Mechanic:** High-demand names (short, common words, brands) are auctioned. Winning bid goes to protocol. Creates price discovery for the namespace — the market sets the value of premium .null real estate.

### 3. Facilitator Fees (x402)

* **Rate:** Optional basis-point cut on x402 transactions routed through protocol infrastructure
* **Status:** Configurable, not yet enforced
* **Mechanic:** If a builder routes payments through a protocol-operated facilitator node, the protocol takes a small cut. Builders who run their own infrastructure pay nothing to the protocol.

## Builder Revenue (what anyone building on Web0 captures)

### x402 Endpoint Fees

* Your rate. Your wallet. No platform cut.
* Set any price per request on any endpoint you expose. Payment flows directly to your address on-chain. The protocol is not in the payment path unless you opt into facilitator routing.

### NULLA Node Earnings

* Run a NULLA node, earn NULL credits per inference task routed to you.
* Supply-side: the more compute you contribute, the more tasks you can serve.

### Domain Speculation

* Register .null names while registration is still free (pre-audit window).
* Once paid registration goes live, names registered during the free window are yours. Secondary market is permissionless.

## What NULL Is For (utility, not price)

No price talk, no supply games — just what the token is used for:

* **Optional NULL payments.** Registration and protocol fees can be paid in NULL instead of SOL — a real use for the token, and a lever we can discount to favor paying in NULL.
* **Auction settlement.** Premium 1–3 char names go to auction, and any name can be resold through open-ascending (English) auctions — settled in SOL, with a protocol fee capped at 5% (lowerable, never raised past it). Paying or settling in NULL is a planned option.
* **Inference utility.** NULLA nodes earn NULL credits per task. Users who want inference need NULL. Builders who want their endpoints paid need NULL-holding users.
* **No secondary revenue sharing.** NULL is not a yield token. Its value derives from what you can do with it — register names, bid in auctions, pay for inference — not from a promise of future distributions.

The full stack is not fully live but the foundation captures value from day one.
