# Agent Staking & Revenue Sharing

In a permissionless ecosystem, **anyone can deploy an agent**. But how do we separate the powerful from the useless?

### **The Answer: Staking**

* Any wallet can **stake $AXI on an agent** to boost its visibility.
* The more staked, the higher the reputation.
* When the agent generates revenue, **rewards are split** between the creator and stakers.

### **Revenue Split**

* 50% → Agent Creator
* 30% → Stakers (pro-rata)
* 20% → Protocol Treasury

### **Why it matters?**

* **Quality Discovery**: Staking signals confidence in an agent’s value.
* **Aligned Incentives**: Creators + stakers benefit together.
* **Accountability**: Bad agents lose stake, good agents grow reputation.

### **Example**

A CRM automation agent gains traction. Dozens of users stake on it, raising its visibility. When businesses use it, the revenue is split — rewarding both creator and early supporters.

Staking transforms **discovery into a skin-in-the-game economy**.
