Revenue Model

Beyond the intrinsic value and transactional utility of the EMC token, the project also captures sustainable revenue through the following channels:

1. Hardware Advertising

   • Embedded Ads: Customized ads placed in AI-enabled hardware (e.g., AR glasses, smart speakers) or platform interfaces.

   • Targeted Campaigns: AI-powered user profiling enhances the accuracy of hardware/software ad placement, for which EMC charges an advertising fee.

2. Hardware Sales

   • Proprietary Hardware: Official EMC products or partner-manufactured devices (e.g., GPU servers, home mining rigs, IoT nodes) contribute sales margins or profits to the ecosystem treasury or relevant collaborators.

   • Value-Added Services: Maintenance, upgrades, and data subscriptions are payable in EMC or fiat.

3. Gas Fees

   • Transactions and Contract Execution: All on-chain activity requires gas paid in EMC.

   • Revenue Distribution: 60% of gas fees may be allocated to validators/miners, with the remaining 40% funneled to the DAO fund (e.g., incentive pools).

By integrating token distribution with diversified revenue streams, EMC fosters a robust and sustainable tech ecosystem for AI-and-hardware convergence. As hardware advertising, hardware sales, gas fees, and protocol fees scale, the EMC network gains a more resilient economic foundation—empowering AI Agents, hardware providers, and everyday users to share in genuine, ongoing rewards.
