Honey is not money
Honey is non-transferable and non-spendable. Honey can never be exchanged for HIVE. It does not gate the free core or create a claim on company assets.

Staking provides membership benefits, not yield, revenue share, ownership, or a claim on the treasury. Staking is non-custodial, includes a visible cooldown, and is never required to use the core product.
Two independent branches: 15% + 15%. One clear flow.

15% of each service's server-owned allocation basis — realized margin for most managed services, recognized platform revenue for others — funds weekly HIVE buybacks. A separate 15% goes to the company treasury, which never funds buybacks. Completed purchases appear in the public buyback ledger. The remainder stays outside these allocations unless separately approved.
Two things change the split. Credits you buy with HIVE get 10% off; that HIVE goes to the company treasury, and spending those credits funds no buyback. HiveVerse home upgrades send 40% to buybacks, 40% to the HivePunks reward pot and 20% to the treasury.

04 — Burn
Where HIVE leaves circulation.
HivePunks and agent coins burn HIVE by fixed rules. Burned HIVE goes to the Base burn address and can never move again. A burn is not a promise about HIVE's price or a return to anyone who holds it. Buyback purchases are listed on the buyback ledger.

Honey records contribution. HIVE staking provides optional membership benefits. Revenue follows two separate, published branches.
That is the current model. The free core works whether or not you earn Honey, hold HIVE, or stake.
