Revenue Model

In order to secure the success of the platform, the $EDEN token will enable users to access the different functionality according to their own needs and resources.

For Users

Three key layers provide balance between accessibility and sustainability:

• Freemium: allows users to experience the Eden IO platform, interact with agents and participate in some of the experiences on offer.

• Staking: users lock tokens to secure the network, access new functionality and receive rewards based on staked $EDEN holdings. This aligns costs with value and rewards users who are supporting the platform over the long term.

• Service Credits: $EDEN tokens act as usage credits required for resource-intensive tasks and functionality. These credits can be automatically topped up for use by developers and users, or provided through bundled purchases.

For Developers

Partnerships with third-party developers of Agents and Applications will integrate them into the platform. Partners gain access to our userbase, as well as additional functionality for their own offerings through the Edenlayer protocol. Payment of a protocol fee is required only at the point when micropayments are received by a third-party for successfully answering user queries or task requests. This ensures that the incentives for developers are aligned with the protocol and focused on user acquisition and retention at all times.

For Agents/Applications

Individual agents and applications will be also able to offer incentives to users based on the above layers.

This enables a high degree of flexibility when it comes to onboarding new users, while still retaining mechanisms (e.g. staking $EDEN) that applications can query and provide bonuses according to specific user engagement criteria.
