# Use Cases * **Fund OSS Projects and Creators** * Provide a sustainable funding method for OSS projects and stakers which allows both parties to earn from supporting eachother. * **Receive perks** * Dev Protocol will explore an application for creators to offer their stakers exclusive perks for staking in their pool. For example, Youtubers can offer discount on products for their stakers. ## Beneficial opportunity for Dapps developers When developing a Dapp using Dev Protocol, there are several main models of beneficial opportunities you can get: * **Receive part of a Property(a.k.a. Creator Token)** * If your Dapp is beneficial to creators, you can require them to deposit a part of a Property to take advantage of Dapp. If Dapp owns 1% of the Property, Dapp will receive 1% of creator rewards. * **Transaction fees** * If your Dapp provides an aggregator or a new UX, you can collect a DEV as a fee when staking or withdrawing rewards. * **Staking** * If your Dapp itself is a Property, you can request staking for using the Dapp. * **...And unknown Lego** * Dev Protocol is an on-chain middleware protocol! You are free to combine it as part of a Lego block. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
