The details on the revenue distribution are as follows:

1. After domain registration, the revenue (KAIA) for KaiaRegistrarController is moved to PrimaryDistributor.
2. PrimaryDistributor distributes 10% to the team wallet, 40% to Treasury, and 50% to GradualDistributor.
3. GradualDistributor gradually sends distributed KAIA to SecondaryDistributor during the registration period of each domain.
4. SecondaryDistributor purchases KNS using 50% of the KAIA it received and distributes it to sKNS holders, and with the remaining 50%, it purchases KNS and provides liquidity to the KAIA-KNS pool. The LP tokens are managed by Treasury and become POL(Protocol Owned Liquidity).
