| 13 | + |
| 14 | +**RLC** (**R**un on **L**ots of **C**omputers) serves as the primary medium of |
| 15 | +exchange for all interactions within the protocol, enabling users to access |
| 16 | +confidential computing services, and rewarding providers for their |
| 17 | +contributions. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## 🎯 What RLC Enables |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +RLC is essential for interacting with the iExec protocol and accessing its |
| 22 | +decentralized confidential computing services. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +## 💰 Transparent Payment Flow |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +When you pay for a task execution with RLC, your payment is automatically and |
| 27 | +transparently distributed to all iExec protocol participants: |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-blue-50 to-blue-100 dark:from-blue-900/20 dark:to-blue-800/20 rounded-lg px-4 border border-blue-200 dark:border-blue-700 my-0"> |
| 30 | + <h4 class="text-lg font-semibold text-blue-800 dark:text-blue-200">🔍 How Your RLC Payment is Distributed</h4> |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + **1. App Provider** - Gets paid for providing the confidential application |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + **2. Protected Data Provider** - Gets paid for providing access to protected confidential datasets |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + **3. Worker** - Gets paid for running the confidential computation on their decentralized machine |
| 37 | +</div> |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +**💡 Transparent:** Payments are distributed based on pricing and conditions |
| 40 | +defined by each provider (iApp, Protected Data, Worker) in their marketplace |
| 41 | +orders. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +**🔒 RLC Staking:** To run a task on the protocol (executing an application with |
| 44 | +protected data on a decentralized workerpool), you need to **lock RLC** in the |
| 45 | +protocol during the task period. In exchange, you receive **sRLC (staked RLC)**. |
| 46 | +Once the task is completed, you can recover the RLC that wasn't consumed for the |
| 47 | +task payment. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +## 💰 Tokenomics & Ecosystem Metrics |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +RLC operates on a utility-driven economic model where demand for confidential |
| 52 | +computing services drives token value: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +**Fixed Supply**: RLC has a maximum supply of 87 million tokens, ensuring |
| 55 | +scarcity and value preservation. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +**Network Effects**: As more users and providers join the iExec ecosystem, the |
| 58 | +demand for RLC increases, driving token value through network effects. |
