# Developer Incentives

### **Overview**

Developers are the backbone of 402Gate’s expansion.\
Every verified API or endpoint integrated with the protocol automatically earns a share of the protocol’s revenue.

#### **Reward Types**

1. **Integration Rewards**\
   Developers who deploy verified 402Gate endpoints receive up to **3–5%** of all transactions routed through their endpoints.
2. **Adoption Bonuses**\
   Additional $402G tokens are granted based on active user count, transaction volume, or sustained uptime.
3. **SDK & Plugin Contributions**\
   Open-source contributors who improve the SDK, templates, or Web2 plugins (WordPress, Shopify, Express) receive bounties from the **Developer Fund**.

#### **Payout Mechanism**

All developer rewards are distributed **automatically on-chain**, recorded transparently, and viewable in the analytics dashboard.
