# C2C Energy Platform Partnership Proposal
### 1. Partnership Background & Goals
#### 1.1 Background
C2C energy platforms usually have:
* Asset or resource matching capabilities, allowing resource delegation to be imported at scale
* Channel promotion capabilities, allowing them to quickly reach large numbers of staking users
CatFee Staking Vault provides a stable yield settlement mechanism. It generates yield through on-chain resource delegation and supports automated settlement.
#### 1.2 Partnership Goals
Through cooperation, both parties can achieve:
* **New sales channels for the C2C platform**, improving user resource utilization
* **Expanded resource delegation scale and market coverage for CatFee**
* **Shared revenue between both parties**, forming a long-term and sustainable partnership
* **Transparent and traceable settlement**, supporting batch replication and expansion
***
### 2. Partnership Model Overview (Two Options)
C2C energy platform cooperation can be divided into two mature models. The key difference is: **who distributes yield to the end user**.
#### Mode A: CatFee sends yield directly to customers (tiered revenue split)
Features: stronger user experience, automated split settlement, and lower settlement cost for the platform
#### Mode B: C2C energy platform sends yield to customers (platform-managed payouts)
Features: stronger platform control, more flexible yield packaging, and suitable for platforms that customize yield products
***
### 3. Mode A: CatFee Sends Yield Directly to Customers (Recommended)
#### 3.1 Applicable Scenarios
This model is suitable for platforms that want to:
* Integrate with a lighter operational setup
* Reduce platform payout costs
* Make the yield flow more transparent, with users receiving yield directly
#### 3.2 Tiered Split Mechanism (Example)
The C2C energy platform proposes the expected split ratio, and both parties confirm it before execution.
Example: CatFee total payout ratio is 16%.
| Receiver | Share | Description |
| ------------------- | ----: | ------------------------------ |
| User | 10% | User participation yield |
| C2C energy platform | 6% | Channel revenue share |
| Total | 16% | Total payout ratio from CatFee |
***
#### 3.3 Partnership Workflow A (CatFee Direct Yield Payout)
**Workflow steps**
1. **The C2C energy platform provides the expected tiered split**\
Example: 16% = user 10% + platform 6%
2. **CatFee provides the resource receiving address**
3. **The C2C energy platform delegates resources, without locking, to the CatFee address**
4. Resource delegation reaches **24 hours**
5. **CatFee automatically settles 10% to the user address**
6. **CatFee automatically settles 6% to the C2C platform receiving address**

autonumber
participant C2C as C2C Energy Platform
participant CatFee as CatFee System
participant User as User Address
C2C->>CatFee: Provide tiered split proposal
(16% = User 10% + Platform 6%)
CatFee-->>C2C: Return resource receiving address
C2C->>CatFee: Delegate resources to receiving address
(non-locking)
Note over CatFee: After 24 hours, enter settlement cycle
CatFee->>CatFee: Calculate yield and split by ratio
CatFee-->>User: Auto transfer yield (10%)
CatFee-->>C2C: Auto transfer channel revenue share (6%)
```
***
#### 3.5 Advantages of Mode A
* **Direct user yield**: stronger user experience and higher trust
* **Light platform operations**: no need for the platform to redistribute yield
* **Automated split settlement**: C2C platform revenue share is settled directly
* **Suitable for fast launch and scalable expansion**
***
### 4. Mode B: C2C Energy Platform Sends Yield to Customers (Platform Payout)
#### 4.1 Applicable Scenarios
This model is suitable for platforms that want to:
* Manage the yield payout standard centrally
* Customize product rates and marketing campaigns
* Use a unified yield receiving address for secondary distribution
***
#### 4.2 Yield Rate Mechanism
Under this model, the C2C energy platform provides the **expected yield rate** displayed to users, such as 10% or 12%. It does not need to publicly display the user/platform split.
* CatFee settles yield to the C2C platform's designated yield address according to the agreed rules
* The C2C platform then distributes yield to users
***
#### 4.3 Partnership Workflow B (Platform Payout)
**Workflow steps**
1. **The C2C energy platform provides the expected yield rate** displayed to users
2. **CatFee provides the resource receiving address**
3. **The C2C energy platform delegates resources to the CatFee address**
4. After 24 hours, **CatFee automatically settles yield to the yield address provided by the C2C platform**
5. **The C2C energy platform pays yield to users**
***
#### 4.4 Sequence Diagram B
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
autonumber
participant C2C as C2C Energy Platform
participant CatFee as CatFee System
participant User as User
C2C->>CatFee: Provide expected yield rate
(for user-facing display)
CatFee-->>C2C: Return resource receiving address
C2C->>CatFee: Delegate resources to receiving address
Note over CatFee: After 24 hours, enter settlement cycle
CatFee-->>C2C: Auto settle yield
to platform yield address
C2C-->>User: Platform pays yield to users
(according to platform rules)
```
***
#### 4.5 Advantages of Mode B
* **Stronger platform control**: yield packaging and payout schedule are decided by the platform
* **Suitable for marketing and multi-tier products**: supports different levels and yield strategies
* **Unified reconciliation**: CatFee only connects to the platform yield address, making financial management easier
* **Expandable secondary agency revenue sharing**: the platform can freely split revenue internally
***
### 5. Roles & Responsibilities
#### 5.1 C2C Energy Platform Responsibilities
* Provide the cooperation plan: Mode A tiered split or Mode B yield rate
* Provide the receiving address: channel revenue share address or yield collection address
* Execute resource delegation and operate user-side promotion
* In Mode B, distribute yield to users
#### 5.2 CatFee Responsibilities
* Provide the resource receiving address
* Calculate yield and execute automated settlement
* Provide reconciliation support, including periodic summary data
* Maintain a stable and traceable settlement process
***
### 6. Reconciliation & Settlement Mechanism
#### 6.1 Settlement Cycle
By default, settlement is performed in **24-hour** cycles.
#### 6.2 Settlement Flow
* **Mode A**: CatFee -> user (10%), CatFee -> platform (6%)
* **Mode B**: CatFee -> platform yield address (100% of settlement amount), platform -> user (custom payout)
#### 6.3 Reconciliation Data
CatFee can provide the following data by cycle:
* Imported delegated resource scale statistics
* Total settled yield
* Distributed payout records, including hash, amount, and time
* Accumulated channel revenue share
***
### 7. Risk Notes & Partnership Agreements
To support long-term stable cooperation, both parties are advised to clarify:
* User-facing display standard, including expected yield, rules, and cycle
* The platform receiving address should not be changed casually; changes should be notified in advance
* In Mode B, the platform should distribute yield to users as agreed to avoid disputes
* If the split ratio or yield rate needs to be adjusted during cooperation, both parties should agree on the effective cycle in advance
***
### 8. Recommendation
If you want the **fastest launch, simplest operations, and most transparent yield flow**:\
Recommended: **Mode A (CatFee sends yield directly to users)**
If you want **stronger platform operations, packaged yield products, and multi-tier revenue sharing**:\
Recommended: **Mode B (platform sends yield to users)**
