# BRIDGE economics

The yield derived from BRIDGE tokens corresponds to the quantity locked in staking contracts. Stakeholders receive returns proportionate to their stake, while the portion allocated to relayers is equally distributed among all active relayers. Dividends are disbursed in BRIDGE tokens.

For instance, assume a liquidity pool valued at $10,000,000, comprising 100 stakeholders (20 of whom are relayers), and a protocol profitability of 5%. In this scenario, $250,000 is distributed among stakeholders based on their share, with the remaining $250,000 evenly divided among relayers.
