# 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.
