ENTITY Originator Participation Profile (EOPP)

EOPP is a mechanism for explicit originator economic participation without turning the entire protocol into a mandatory tax system.

Possible terms

• Retained rights or reserved units.
• Primary issuance participation.
• Secondary-transfer participation.
• Usage royalty.
• Derivative/revenue participation.
• Service or venue fees.

Not a protocol tax

v3.4.2 preserves automatic_protocol_royalty_bps = 0. Canonical protocol origin alone does not create a BTG royalty. Any participant—including BTG—must rely on explicit rights, contracts, services or positions to receive economic value.

Evidence

Participation terms should be bound at issuance or transaction time, signed by the appropriate authority and carried into settlement/derivative evidence where applicable.
