BBS Network gives BBS owners control over their own board’s revenue while allowing them to reward top contributors through partnership with the board. Only a small fee is taken by the platform in order to support the DAO and operator (10%).

With BBS, all ad revenue is distributed automatically and transparently through the use of BBS tokens. Each board on the network offers its own ad space available on published posts to be leased by board-approved advertisers. When advertisers fund their campaign, 90% of the BBS tokens used are deposited into the board’s cashier balance which can be used by partnered members and the board owner to cash out their share of the revenue.

Anyone can become a BBS owner by creating a new board (similar to creating a new subreddit or Facebook group), and have control of their board’s policies (within their chosen operator’s Terms of Use), and revenue distribution. Board owners are able to invite quality contributors to the board as a Partner, giving the Partnered member the ability to earn their share of the board’s revenue. Owners and their teams can Partner quality contributors in order to encourage and reward their continued contributions.

For the first several years of BBS Network, 50% of the entire BBS token supply will be distributed through the Engagement Mining program to launch and/or subsidize advertisements for approved boards - providing an initial revenue flow for boards to bootstrap the network and incentivize board growth. Earned tokens can be used to financially support the board, staked for influence in BBS DAO governance, distributed to the community as incentive, or even be used to run ad campaigns for the board.

This model of revenue distribution fundamentally changes the dynamic established by legacy social network platforms. Instead of the platform owners controlling the ecosystem and its revenue, each board owner is responsible for its own distribution and incentivization, providing the contributors and end-users a choice - ensuring the network ecosystem remains healthy and competitive instead of faltering under a centralized source.
