💸 AegisProtocol Revenue Model
AegisProtocol generates revenue through a diverse set of streams-designed to scale with user growth, agent creation, ecosystem adoption, and token utility. Our model balances accessibility, platform sustainability, and creator empowerment across the entire AI + Telegram ecosystem.
1. 🧠 AI Agent Access Fees
Users pay in $AEP or TON to access premium features or agents.
Revenue Channels:
Per-Use Payments: Micro-fees for single queries (e.g., 0.5 AEP to summarize a token or generate a 3D model)
Pay-as-You-Go Bundles: Prepaid credits for flexible multi-agent usage
Usage-Based Metering: Advanced agents (e.g., RWA contract generator) billed by complexity/output
2. 💼 Agent Subscriptions & SaaS Plans
Recurring subscription tiers for power users, professionals, and DAO admins.
Examples:
Pro User Tier: Unlimited access to selected bots for $X/month in AEP
RWA Pro Plan: Real estate agents pay monthly for bulk AI valuations
