Where Does the Yield Come From?
Where Does the Yield Come From?
A common and valid concern in Web3 is: "Where is the money coming from? Are tokens just printed out of thin air?"
Temple Wallet's reward system is NOT based on inflation, endless minting, or Ponzi-like tokenomics. Every $TKEY you receive is backed by real economic activity within our ecosystem.
Ad Rewards
Advertisers pay to display privacy-respecting ads within the wallet. We take a portion of this real-world revenue and share up to 20% of it directly with opted-in users.
Swap Cashback
When you perform a $10+ in-wallet swap, a small routing fee is generated. We use a portion of this fee to reward you for using our built-in router.
Temple Bakery
Delegate your XTZ to our baker and receive additional $TKEY rewards on top of your standard Tezos baking yields.
Temple Invite
Our referral program encourages you to invite friends. By helping grow the Temple user base, you can participate in referral incentives based on active ecosystem campaigns.
The Golden Rule of $TKEY
To distribute rewards for Ads, Swaps, or Invites, Temple Wallet buys $TKEY directly from the open market. We do NOT arbitrarily mint tokens to pay users. This ensures constant buying pressure and a healthy, sustainable ecosystem.
Your Data and Privacy
Your Data and Privacy
If you opt-in to receive Ad Rewards, you might worry about browser tracking or data selling. Our advertising model is built strictly on a Privacy-First architecture. Here is exactly what happens with your data.
🛡️ What We DO NOT Do
- 🚫 No KYC: We never ask for your identity, documents, or personal details.
✅ What We DO Use
- 👛 Your Public Blockchain Address: Used exclusively as a destination to send your earned $TKEY rewards via smart contracts.
- 📍 Your IP Address: Used temporarily to determine your general geographical region (e.g., country). This ensures advertisers show you relevant ads. This data is never tied to your personal identity or stored permanently.
Understanding Your Payouts
Understanding Your Payouts
Users sometimes get confused about when and how much they are paid. Here is how the distribution works:
Why do Ad Rewards fluctuate?
The amount of $TKEY you earn from browsing is not a fixed daily rate. It depends on several dynamic factors:
Ad Campaign Volume
How many advertisers are running campaigns in your region at any given time.
Your Activity
How often do you receive promo(ads) content from the Temple Wallet partners.
Market Price
Since we buy $TKEY from the market using ad revenue, the exact number of tokens distributed to you will vary depending on its current market price.
Payout Schedules
⚡ Swap Cashback
Distributed instantly. Calculated and sent straight to your wallet upon swap confirmation.
📅 Ad Rewards
Distributed monthly. Aggregated and paid out in batches to minimize gas fees.
🥩 Temple Bakery
Distributed every Friday. Rewards are sent automatically once you accumulate more than 1 $TKEY.
Why Did I Receive an Unexpected Token ($TKEY)?
Why Did I Receive an Unexpected Token ($TKEY)?
If you noticed $TKEY appearing in your wallet and you are unsure why, don't worry! It is likely because you automatically qualified for one of our ecosystem incentives:
You made a swap over $10 inside Temple Wallet, which triggered an automatic cashback.
You previously enabled the Ads/Rewards feature in your wallet settings, and a monthly payout occurred.
You are delegating your Tezos ($XTZ) to the Temple Wallet Baker, which distributes additional $TKEY yields to delegators.
🎉 100% Yours to Keep
These tokens are safely distributed via verified smart contracts. You can hold them or swap them for other assets. This is a legitimate reward, NOT a scam token or a dusting attack.
Deflationary Tokenomics
Deflationary Tokenomics
To ensure the long-term sustainability of the rewards program, the $TKEY token features a deflationary model. We focus on real value creation rather than artificial inflation.
