# Solution Overview

Server Protocol was designed as a complete ecosystem where open-source developers can receive fair rewards for their contributions, while the community plays an active role in the discovery, validation, and funding of impactful projects.

Through an innovative dual-token model, Server Protocol offers:

* **$SERVER**: the main token representing the economy of the ecosystem. It is used for grants, project rewards, and staking.
* **$BYTES**: the complementary utility token earned through staking $SERVER. It is used to vote and propose new projects, fueling governance and reputation within the platform.

In addition to this, Server Protocol introduces three unique mechanics to ensure fairness and sustainability:

1. **Reputation system**: voting power is not solely based on token holdings. User reputation grows with active participation and decays over inactivity, protecting against vote manipulation by whales.
2. **Dynamic staking rewards**: users earn $BYTES from staking, but their emission rate decreases if they remain inactive, incentivizing active involvement rather than passive accumulation.
3. **Treasury model**: instead of burning all fees, a portion of fees collected in $SERVER is accumulated into a Treasury account. This treasury can be used to support new grants, investments, and platform growth, creating a circular and sustainable economy.

Server Protocol doesn't just propose rewarding developers: it builds the infrastructure to make it automatic, scalable, and resilient, bringing a Web3-native economy to the heart of open-source innovation.
