# Top Agent Rewards (Portion of Tax Allocation)

### Overview

The platform rewards top-performing agents based on their Total Value Locked (TVL) using a portion of transaction taxes collected in ETH. This incentivizes agent creators to grow and maintain high TVL while providing stable, non-inflationary rewards.

**Tax Collection in ETH**

* Transactions involving the main **Ambient AGI token (AGI)** incur buy/sell taxes.
* A portion of the tax is swapped for ETH via an on-chain mechanism.
* Part of the collected ETH is allocated to the Top Agents Treasury.
* The remaining tax revenue supports other initiatives (e.g., marketing, development).

**Reward Cycle (Monthly )**

**1. Treasury Accumulation**

* The treasury wallet collects ETH from transaction taxes over the cycle.

**2. TVL Snapshot**

* At the end of each cycle, the platform records each agent’s Total Value Locked (TVL).

**3. Ranking & Distribution**

* The Top Agents (e.g., Top 5 or Top 10 by TVL) receive ETH rewards proportional to their TVL rankings.
* Rewards are sent directly to agent creators.

### **Key Benefits**

**1. Non-Inflationary Rewards**

* No new tokens are minted, rewards come from ETH tax revenue.

**2. Stable Payouts**

* Rewards are distributed in ETH, a liquid and stable asset.

**3. Healthy Competition**

* Agents compete for higher TVL, boosting platform usage.

**4. Transparency**

* Treasury inflows and TVL metrics are verifiable on-chain.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ambientagi.ai/top-agent-rewards-portion-of-tax-allocation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
