# Founder's Reward

Because 100% of Degen Dog auction proceeds are split between streams to Dog owners, donations to charitable causes, and the [DAO](/degen-dogs-mission-1/dao/governance.md) [treasury](/degen-dogs-mission-1/dao/treasury.md), founder(s) are compensated with Degen Dogs. Every 11th Dog for the first year of the project (ids #0, #11, #22, #33 and so on) will be automatically sent to the `dogMaster` multisig to be shared among the founding members of the project. *At the time of writing, there is only one founder/dogMaster, but this is subject to change.*

Founder distributions don't interfere with the [cadence](/degen-dogs-mission-1/basics/auctions/auction-cadence.md) of auctions. Dogs are sent directly to the dogMaster Multisig, and auctions continue on schedule with the next available ID.

**Note:** This reward structure is inspired by [Nouns DAO](https://nouns.wtf), in which the *Nounders* receive every 10th Noun for the first 5 years of the project.
