# Role-Based Incentives

BeatSwap is designed to ensure that creators, contributors, investors, and partner platforms are fairly rewarded for their participation in the ecosystem. Each role benefits from a clearly defined token-based incentive model that supports sustainable growth and long-term participation.

***

### 🎤 Creators

* **RWA Registration & Tokenization**\
  Creators register their IP-Rights through the RWA Launcher and receive both the initial payment and neighboring rights tokens.\

* **Royalty Rewards via PoR Staking**\
  By staking RWA tokens via PoR, creators earn on-chain royalties based on verified engagement with their IP assets.\
  👉 [Learn More](https://beatswap.gitbook.io/beatswap/the-path-to-stardom/rwa-launcher#por-staking-and-royalty-activation)
* **Licensing to Earn**\
  Creators accumulate IP Licensing Index (IPL) tokens whenever their works generate royalty income (RoyaltyReward). These IPL balances contribute to their share of the monthly $BTX distribution.\

### 🎧 Contributors & Partner Platforms

* **Contributor Rewards**\
  Contributor Rewards: Contributors earn IPL tokens for verified usage events such as listening, viewing, or playing (StreamReward). These IPL balances entitle them to a proportional claim on $BTX rewards.\

* **Platform Incentives**\
  External platforms that provide verified usage data receive **protocol incentives in the form of waived rights usage fees**, aligning their role with the Licensing to Earn model.\

### 💰 Investors

* **Royalty Rewards for LP Holders**\
  When un-PoR RWA tokens are supplied to liquidity pools (not actively staked), LPs receive a share of the royalties generated through those pools. This allows passive participants to benefit from verified IP usage without engaging in direct staking.\

* **Swap Fee Rewards**\
  All swap fees generated on the BeatSwap DEX are distributed to liquidity providers (LPs).\
  👉 [Learn More](https://beatswap.gitbook.io/beatswap/the-path-to-stardom/beatswap#liquidity-provision-and-lp-rewards)
* **PoR Participation**\
  Investors can also directly stake RWA tokens to earn royalty rewards based on verified IP usage.\
