## **Live Question:**
**”When Satoshi was talking about owning VFN and being able to get a fraction of each transaction occurring on Fractal, does that come from the transaction fee? And is it paid out in Dark Energy Units, VTSN, or something else entirely?”**
—
## **Answer:**
Owning **Fractal Tokenized Equity (VFN)** provides holders with a **perpetual yield** derived from **transaction fees across all instances of Fractal**. This yield is not taken from the transaction amount itself but instead comes from the **fees charged on transactions**, measured in **Dark Energy Units (DEU).**
### **Key Details:**
1. **VFN Generates an “Eternal Yield”**
– VFN holders receive a **continuous share** of Fractal transaction fees worldwide.
– The yield increases as **Fractal adoption and transaction volume grow**.
2. **Source of Yield: Transaction Fees, Not Transaction Amounts**
– Every transaction on Fractal incurs a **fixed fee of 1 DEU** ($0.10).
– A portion of this **fee pool** is distributed to VFN holders.
3. **How is the Yield Paid Out?**
– The yield is sourced from **Dark Energy (VDE)**, since transaction fees are collected in that unit.
– However, **it is unclear if the yield is distributed directly in VDE or converted to another asset**:
– **Hive Workers receive payment in Dark Matter (VDM), so VFN holders might as well.**
– **VFN yield is NOT paid in VTSN**, as that is the ecosystem’s digital money but not the fee unit.
– **Liberty Dollars are also not part of Fractal’s internal economy.**
4. **VFN Scarcity and Valuation**
– **Fixed supply** of **100 million VFN**.
– **Starting valuation**: **$1,000 per VFN**.
– Value could **increase over time due to its continuous yield model and rising network adoption**.

## **Conclusion:**
VFN holders earn **a share of the global Fractal transaction fee pool**. This revenue is sourced from the **fixed 1 DEU per transaction fee** and distributed continuously to VFN holders. While **the exact unit of payout remains uncertain (VDE vs. VDM vs. VTSN), it is confirmed that the earnings come from the transaction fee structure rather than the transaction amounts themselves.**
As Fractal adoption expands, **owning VFN becomes increasingly valuable due to its “eternal yield” model.** 🚀
