5.9 Revenue Projections

Conservative Scenario ($100M Annual Volume):

Total Fees (0.4%):          $400,000

Distribution:
├─> Protocol Treasury:      $100,000
├─> Market Creators:        $100,000
├─> PATH Stakers:           $100,000
└─> Platforms:              $100,000

Staker APY (50M staked, $0.10 price):
$100,000 / (50M × $0.10) = 2% APY

Base Case ($1B Annual Volume):

Total Fees (0.4%):          $4,000,000

Distribution:
├─> Protocol Treasury:      $1,000,000
├─> Market Creators:        $1,000,000
├─> PATH Stakers:           $1,000,000
└─> Platforms:              $1,000,000

Staker APY (50M staked, $0.10 price):
$1M / (50M × $0.10) = 20% APY

Optimistic Scenario ($10B Annual Volume):

Total Fees (0.4%):          $40,000,000

Distribution:
├─> Protocol Treasury:      $10,000,000
├─> Market Creators:        $10,000,000
├─> PATH Stakers:           $10,000,000
└─> Platforms:              $10,000,000

Staker APY (50M staked, $0.50 price):
$10M / (50M × $0.50) = 40% APY

Comparison to Existing Platforms:

For reference, Polymarket achieved ~$3B in volume during the 2024 election cycle. Path Protocol's multi-platform model targets broader distribution and higher sustained volume.
