# DeFi Protocol Layer – Yield Distribution & Utility Loop

Once the AI revenue is secured on-chain, it becomes the basis for sustainable financial incentives in the ORIZON DeFi ecosystem.

Use Cases of Treasury Revenue:

**Staking Yield:**

AI revenue is proportionally distributed to $ORI stakers in real time or via epoch cycles, providing real yield based on actual usage.

**Liquidity Support:**

Treasury assets can be used to back decentralized liquidity pools (e.g., ORI/UST, ORZ/USDC), ensuring healthy on-chain markets and protocol-owned liquidity (POL).

**Buyback and Burn:**

A portion of treasury revenue can be allocated to buy back $ORI from the open market and burn it, introducing deflationary pressure and price support.

**Protocol Expansion:**

Funds can support the launch or integration of new AI tools, airdrops for community expansion, partnerships, or governance applications.

**Bonding & Reserve Backing:**

Use revenue to fund discounted bond offerings that expand protocol-owned liquidity and bolster the reserve floor of $ORI.
