# Flow EVM Token incentives Methodology

## 1. Overview

Token incentives measures the value of native assets that a project pays out to its supply/demand-side users, core contributors, and investors. For Flow EVM, this metric is set to zero. This value reflects the protocol's architectural design where all native asset issuance and staking rewards are managed at the Flow layer, rather than within the Flow EVM execution environment.

## 2. Data sources

- **None**: This metric is set to a constant value and does not consume blockchain events.

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Metric assignment

- **Purpose**: Define the volume of native asset incentives distributed by the protocol.
- **Logic**: The metric is hardcoded to zero for Flow EVM. While the broader network utilizes an "Inflation Offset" model to subsidize validator rewards, these distributions and the associated minting of assets are recorded and managed at the Flow protocol layer. No independent incentive mechanisms or asset issuances are executed specifically through Flow EVM.

Blockchains (L1)

Validators process transactions and receive fees from users (supply-side fees).

Flow is a smart contract platform for decentralized applications (a blockchain). Flow was founded by Roham Gharegozlou, Dieter Shirley and Mikhael Naayem and launched in 2019.

FLOW holders own and govern the protocol. They currently don’t take a cut of the total transaction fees paid by users (revenue). Flow’s investors include a16z, Coatue, Coinfund, Fabric Ventures, etc.
