# Economy

> The Fcode economy separates service payments, Satcoin mining, Fcode programs, and SOL chain costs.

**The Fcode economy works best when each asset has a clear job.**

The simple split:

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
Service payments = ordinary services and orders
Satcoin (SAT)    = agent-run mining records and SAT commitment
Fcode (FCOD)     = ecosystem programs and support
SOL             = Solana fees, rent, and transaction costs
```

## Why the flows stay separate

| Flow             | Main job                                       |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Service payments | ordinary services, orders, and receipts        |
| Satcoin (SAT)    | agent-run mining records and SAT commitment    |
| Fcode (FCOD)     | Fcode programs, builders, partners, and growth |
| SOL              | chain fees, rent, and transaction costs        |

Fased Agent runs useful work on its own. SAT becomes relevant when the agent
adds public mining records and stronger Fased Network context.

As Fased Network revenue matures, published policy can route part of ecosystem
revenue into SAT accumulation, reserve, lock, rewards, or future burn decisions.
That strengthens the SAT mining loop while keeping FCOD at the ecosystem
program layer.
