# Sensor Bonds

Sensor Bonds are the core reward and revenue-sharing mechanism behind the SensorVM ecosystem. They enable long-term alignment, performance-based earnings, and inclusive participation — even for non-developers.

***

#### 🎯 What Are Sensor Bonds?

Sensor Bonds are digital allocation units that determine how much of the protocol’s revenue a participant receives. These bonds are assigned automatically based on your role, contributions, and token interaction with the system.

You don’t need to stake or lock into a separate contract. Sensor Bonds are earned and tracked based on your $SVM wallet behavior and your activity across the network.

#### 🧠 How to Earn Sensor Bonds

***

| Method             | Description                                                                 |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Hold $SVM**      | Simply holding $SVM allocates passive Sensor Bonds over time                |
| **Lock $SVM**      | Locking your $SVM increases your bond rate, similar to staking but on-chain |
| **Build Projects** | Deploying revenue-generating tools via SensorVM gives contributor bonds     |
| **Refer Builders** | Referrals that lead to new utility or project launches also earn bonds      |

#### 💰 Revenue Distribution

Revenue generated through SensorVM (such as logic module fees, access passes, uptime logs, etc.) is periodically distributed based on Sensor Bond allocation.

More Sensor Bonds = Larger revenue share.

Distribution frequency, share ratios, and exact mechanics will be transparently tracked via our on-chain dashboards.

***

#### 🔐 Fair, Transparent & Incentive-Aligned

Sensor Bonds are designed to:

* Reward both active builders and passive holders
* Create a tiered but fair system for participation
* Support contributors without inflating the $SVM supply

There’s no separate token. No staking lockups. No central authority assigning roles.

**If you contribute to the Sensor ecosystem — you earn.**
