# 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.\
  👉 [Learn More](https://beatswap.gitbook.io/beatswap/the-path-to-stardom/beatswap#personalized-royalty-analytics-for-lp-holders)
* **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.\

### 🧩 BeatSwap Protocol

* **RWA Token Issuance & Rights Registration**\
  BeatSwap manages IP-Rights registration and token issuance through the RWA Launcher and secures ongoing ecosystem operations through token issuance revenue.\
  👉 [Learn More](https://beatswap.gitbook.io/beatswap/the-path-to-stardom/rwa-launcher#rwa-token-purchase-participation)
* **Protocol-Owned Copyright Royalties**\
  Through the RWA tokenomics model, **12% of each copyright is permanently held by the protocol**, and a portion of the generated royalties is reserved for protocol sustainability.\
  👉 [Learn More](https://beatswap.gitbook.io/beatswap/tokenomics/rwa-tokenomics#key-points)
* **Swap Fee Distribution Model**\
  BeatSwap operates under a **swap fee distribution model that rewards LPs who provided initial liquidity**.\

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://beatswap.gitbook.io/beatswap/tokenomics/role-based-incentives.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
