# Data as a Yield-Bearing Asset

Datasets uploaded to Cluster are stored on IPFS, minted as NFTs, and earn revenue every time they are purchased. The PaymentRouter smart contract handles distribution automatically — 85% to the creator, 10% to the protocol, 5% to referrers. Data creators earn passively from their contributions.
