# Zero-Emissions Model (Real-Yield)

How The Ennead is able to achieve Yield without any emissions

The Ennead is able to provide true **Real-Yield** without relying on an emissions model artificially pumping the returns. This is done through optimizing existing infrastructure, such as the veRAM fee/bribing model, along with providing boosting support.

Returns are passed down to neadRAM stakers, giving natural yield from fee revenue on a service-- which is by definition "real-yield" as there are no artificial returns.
