# Revenue Model & $PIN Staking

$PIN holders can stake their tokens into locked $PIN tokens to receive a share of tokens reserved for PinLink staking.\
\
PinLink’s revenues come from 3 sources:

1. **$PIN Platform Fees:** The protocol takes a 2% platform fee on Pinshop purchases, in PIN tokens.
2. **RWA Sales Fees:** A 2% transaction fee is taken on all RWA ERC-1155 sales on the usdcshop.
3. **Service User Rebate Fund Yield Fees:** The protocol takes a 20% transaction fee on all yields generated by the Service User Rebate Fund.
