# Expenditure Breakdown

**The breakdown of the core team’s expenditure is outlined below, with the major components being:**

* Salaries
* Audits & Technical Consultation
* On-chain Expenses (e.g cost of running the Kuvera Chain & subsidizing gas)
* Legal
* and more

This remunerative system was conceived similarly to what is in place on primary DeFi protocols such as [Lido](https://dune.com/steakhouse/lido-safu), [Maker](https://expenses.makerdao.network/), [Maple](https://www.maple.finance/news/q2-2023-treasury-report/), and [Sushi](https://blockworks.co/news/sushiswap-dao-budget-salaries).**The figures indicated may be subject to change at a later date by means of an appropriate Governance proposal.**
