22. Fee Architecture and Protocol Revenue

22.1 Flat-Rate Fee Structure (USDC or Native Assets)

Settlement Rules:

• Default: USDC (where natively supported via CCTP V2: Base, OP, ARB, ETH, Solana)

• Fallback: Native asset (for chains without USDC: Cardano, TON, etc.)

• No bridged USDC: On chains without native CCTP V2 USDC, RandProof settles and holds revenue in that chain's native asset rather than using a third-party bridge such as Wormhole (AV-49 policy)

• No volume discounts, flat-rate, fair for all

22.2 Protocol Revenue Model

Treasury Governance: As of this writing, the protocol treasury is held under single-founder custody (Mauricio Artigas), see AV-50 for a full, honest disclosure of this current state. The target structure for Genesis and Phase 2 is a Gnosis Safe multisig with a 3-of-5 threshold, with treasury signers publicly disclosed at randproof.network/treasury once that multisig is actually constituted with independent cosigners. RandProof will not represent the 3-of-5 structure as live until it is. At Phase 4, the treasury is planned to transition to a timelocked governance contract with a 7-day execution delay. The goal at every phase is that no single party can unilaterally withdraw treasury funds, and that all treasury transactions remain publicly auditable on-chain, but during the current single-founder phase, this goal is not yet met, and is disclosed as such rather than implied otherwise.
