Create to Earn is the foundational economic principle of COBOX. Unlike Play-to-Earn models that distribute inflationary token rewards to players, COBOX’s Create to Earn model generates real revenue from real player spending - and distributes the majority directly to creators.

11.1 How Creators Earn

Revenue Stream 1 - In-Game Purchases Players spend COB on items, cosmetics, power-ups, and upgrades inside your game. You receive 60-75% of every transaction, paid automatically via smart contract.

Revenue Stream 2 - Marketplace Asset Sales Mint your creations as NFTs on BNB Chain. List them on the COBOX marketplace at your own price. Earn on every sale - primary and secondary.

Revenue Stream 3 - Subscription Content Offer premium game access or exclusive content through recurring subscriptions. Generate predictable monthly revenue independent of one-time purchases.

Revenue Stream 4 - Blockchain-Based Rewards Assign NFT rewards to your games. Players earn them through gameplay. Use Fractional Rewards - one NFT distributed among multiple winners - for scalable tournament and community event incentives.

Revenue Stream 5 - COBX Staking Rewards Stake COBX to move up creator tiers. Higher tiers earn a larger share of the platform reward pool and unlock higher revenue percentages on all transactions.

11.2 Creator Revenue Share
