Royalties & Platform Fees

Every Chronicle minted on DaiChronicles.io is more than just a collectible — it's part of a growing cultural archive, powered by Ethereum and supported by transparent on-chain mechanics.

This includes a dual funding model that aligns long-term incentives for both platform sustainability and early community participation.

🎯 Dynamic Royalty Model

DaiChronicles introduces a progressive royalty split to reward early community members and ensure long-term commitment from the core team.

🥇 Early Adopter Royalties (First 3,650 Chronicles)

For the first 3,650 Chronicle NFTs minted, the 2% royalty on secondary sales is directed to the wallet of the original minter — not the founders.

These royalties:

• Reward early believers and cultural contributors
• Create recurring incentives for minting and holding
• Help bootstrap a grassroots collector economy

🧭 Founder Royalties (After Chronicle #3,650)

From Chronicle #3,651 onward, the 2% royalty is redirected to the founder’s vesting wallet, aligning long-term commitment and platform evolution.

Royalty routing is enforced by the smart contract based on the token ID at mint time. It cannot be changed retroactively or externally overridden.

💰 Primary Sale Proceeds Power the Platform

When you mint a Chronicle NFT through the Market, your ETH goes directly to the platform treasury — not to the founders.

This revenue supports:

• Operations and feature development
• Narrative expansion and community engagement
• Uniswap liquidity for DAC token
• Ongoing DAO-like AI agent evolution

🔄 Transparent On-Chain Logic

All royalty splits, treasury inflows, and NFT minting operations are handled on the Ethereum Mainnet, fully transparent and viewable on Etherscan.

• Royalties are calculated at mint and routed by smart contract logic.
• The cutoff for early adopter rewards is locked at Chronicle #3,650.
• Funds are never redirected manually or off-chain.
