Collection Economics
Collection-specific fees, funded free positions, and conserved cycle accounting
Collection Economics
The updated product model uses collection-specific admin fees, not a universal 97% community share or a token-burn budget. Network gas and Base VRF/CCIP costs are separate and are not assumed to be zero.
Per-collectible split
| Collection | Type ID | Nominal price | Admin fee | Admin per paid mint | Pool contribution per collectible | Full 500-collectible pool |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buddy | 3 | $3 | 5% | $0.15 | $2.85 | $1,425 |
| Samurai | 13 | $13 | 3% | $0.39 | $12.61 | $6,305 |
| Noble | 25 | $25 | 2% | $0.50 | $24.50 | $12,250 |
Dollar amounts describe the product model, not a dollar-denominated contract balance or guaranteed allocation. Payments and allocations use native ETH. Read the configured on-chain price before sending a transaction; the production USD-to-ETH conversion policy is not supplied in the contract specification.
A funded cycle
Five positions are free to the buyer, but all 500 contribute to the pool. FOSNFT funds the five free-position contributions from retained fees/reserves.
| Collection | 495 buyer payments | Paid-position admin fees | Five free contributions | Remaining admin funds | Full cycle pool |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buddy | $1,485 | $74.25 | $14.25 | $60 | $1,425 |
| Samurai | $6,435 | $193.05 | $63.05 | $130 | $6,305 |
| Noble | $12,375 | $247.50 | $122.50 | $125 | $12,250 |
For each collection, cycle pool + remaining admin funds = buyer purchase payments. This assumes nominal product prices, matching cycle contribution settings, and sufficient FOSNFT reserves. Actual accounting uses ETH and integer rounding. The remaining admin amount is before operational and oracle/bridge costs; it is not a profit forecast.
Independent referral accounting
| Referrer's active plan | Share of a direct referral's payment | Admin share |
|---|---|---|
| $2 plan | 50% | 50% |
| $5 plan | 60% | 40% |
| $10 plan | 82% | 18% |
The referrer's own active plan at payment time determines the split, for both registration and upgrades. The buyer's plan determines the payment amount, not the commission percentage. Without a referrer, 100% goes to the admin. Dollar labels are nominal plan names; exact payment is the configured ETH price.
Referral receipts are separate from mint pools. They do not fund an individual's selection eligibility or alter collectible weights. Any growth-campaign funding must use available admin balances after user liabilities and free-position reserves.
Comparison limits
The previous economics report mixed illustrative centralized-platform percentages with unsupported FOS-wide return claims. The current tables and chart show the supplied contract arithmetic only. Automated accounting does not eliminate legal requirements, audit costs, chain risks, or delivery delays.
