# Profit sharing

To engage the community and ensure fair distribution of profits, AIRO Network users can participate in profit sharing. This model aims to align the interests of the AIRO Network with its users, promoting long-term engagement and sustainability.

**How Profit Sharing Works**

1. **Profit Allocation**:
   * **20% of Net Profits**: A portion of the net profits will be shared with users who stake $AIRO tokens.
2. **Distribution Schedule**:
   * **Quarterly Payments**: Profits will be calculated and distributed on a quarterly basis, ensuring regular and predictable income for participants.
3. **Reward Calculation**:
   * **Based on Staking Duration**: The amount of USDT received is proportional to the duration and amount of $AIRO tokens staked by each user.
4. **Payment in USDT**: Rewards are paid out in USDT, providing stability and value to participants.

**Recurrent Sources of Revenue**

AIRONET S.R.L. generates revenue from the following sources:

* **The A1 Air Miner sales**
* **Future AIRO Hardware**
* **The AIRO Map API**
* **AIRO WEX.CX (Weather Exchange)**
* **Skins and Add-ons for AIRO MAP**
* **AIRO MAP Subscriptions** (Allergen Alert, Wildfire Alert, Tornado Alert)
*  **Carbon Credits sales through our platform**
* **AIRO Merchandise and Games** (Lottery, Dice, Elementals, Third-party apps building on the AIRO Network)

By sharing profits from these sources, the AIRO Network fosters a community-driven ecosystem that rewards active participation and contributes to the network's overall growth and stability.

## 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://aironetwork.gitbook.io/airo-network-whitepaper-v1.5/economy/profit-sharing.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.
