Hardware sales fund the network. Free services drive adoption. Metered usage generates recurring revenue. Token economics align every stakeholder. This is infrastructure that pays for itself.
Every layer of the platform monetizes โ from the first device sale through decades of recurring services. No single stream dominates. All seven compound together.
Link ($1,499) and Link Pro ($2,299) devices with $580โ$620 net margin per unit. Immediate revenue recognition on every sale.
AI inference, dVPN, messaging, and cellular โ metered via RDC at 30โ100% markup when accessed remotely or over quota.
$0.25/GB VRAM-hour โ 50% cheaper than AWS. Developer-direct sales via revofi.cloud with 100% RevoFi margin.
SD-WAN, premium WiFi, loyalty programs, and AI credits. Replaces Cisco/Boingo at under $500/site for multi-location chains.
Edge computer vision at $599โ$2,999/mo per venue. 30-day free trial converts to custom fine-tuned analytics at 75/25 revenue share.
0.8% average fee on all RDC purchases, swaps, and conversions. Volume-driven revenue that scales with platform adoption.
Proof-of-Availability mints reward uptime. 10% RDC discount when paying with RVS creates a permanent token sink tethered to real platform revenue โ not speculation.
By Year 5, hardware drops to 19% of revenue while recurring services grow to 81% โ the hallmark of a platform business, not a hardware company.
Private Tiered Services is the framework that makes giving services away for free the most profitable strategy. SSID-based detection determines whether you're on your own RevoFi WiFi (generous free quotas) or accessing remotely (metered via RDC).
Why this works: Private tier is capped at 25% of G292-280 server capacity (~$800โ$1K/mo total electricity for ALL device owners). One device sale ($580โ$620 margin) covers 7โ8 years of maximum free usage. The remaining 70%+ server capacity is sold as B2B WaaS at $8Kโ$12K/mo per MIG slice. "Free" costs pennies. Everything else is pure margin.

Two instruments working in tandem: RVS tokens for governance and rewards, RDC credits for precision billing. Together they create a self-reinforcing economic loop where real utility drives real value.
Governance ยท Utility ยท Rewards
1 Billion Fixed Supply
50-year halving schedule. No inflation. No minting.
Proof-of-Availability Rewards
~50 RVS/day per device at 99%+ uptime. Passive income for staying connected.
10% RDC Discount
Pay for services with RVS instead of fiat โ save 10%. Creates permanent token sink.
Base Chain (L2)
On-chain transparency. Low gas. Coinbase ecosystem.
Billing ยท Metering ยท Compliance
1 RDC = $0.000001 USD
Stable, auditable virtual credit. PostgreSQL decimal โ not blockchain.
Zero Crypto Volatility
Enterprise-grade billing abstraction. B2B customers see dollars, not tokens.
Multi-Rail Payment
Fiat (Stripe 1.5%) ยท USDC (0.5%) ยท Lightning (0.2%) ยท RVS (0% + 10% discount)
Micro-Transaction Precision
Bill for a single AI inference token or 1 MB of VPN traffic. No minimums.
Why rational developers choose RVS over fiat โ and why that creates permanent deflationary pressure:
The 15โ20% economic spread makes RVS the rational choice for every developer. Every payment burns tokens. Value is tethered to real platform revenue โ not speculation.
For B2B device deployments (~30% of all devices), revenue flows through a two-phase waterfall that prioritizes investor capital recovery, then shifts to long-term partnership rewards.
Consumer direct sales (70% of devices) generate 100% RevoFi revenue โ no waterfall applies.
Preferred return until all invested capital is returned. Typical payback: 12โ15 months.
Partners see a 5ร increase post-payback โ the key long-term incentive. Investors retain 20% ongoing perpetuity.
65โ70% net margin on all device sales
60โ80% net on services (100% consumer, 55% business)
10โ15% device commissions
25% venue placements ยท 50/50 premium WiFi
80% preferred return โ 20% ongoing
12โ15 month payback ยท 9.7ร over 5 years
Every device is profitable from day one. Every cluster generates outsized returns. Here's the math at every level of the stack.
70% of all deployments
Consumer value: $50โ$100+/mo in free services. RVS earnings: ~50 RVS/day. USDC share: 4% โ 20% per completed job.
30% of all deployments
500-location example: $870K hardware revenue + $1.5Mโ$2M/yr recurring from SD-WAN, WiFi offload, loyalty, AI credits.
1,000 devices + 1 G292-280 server = one cluster unit
Total cluster revenue: $2.0Mโ$4.0M/yr depending on maturity year
From $3.5M to $15M annual revenue over five years. Hardware bootstraps the network, recurring services take over, and the platform becomes increasingly capital-efficient with scale.
Hardware: $1.2M
Consumer: $0.7M
Enterprise: $0.7M
B2B AI: $0.3M
Cloud: $0.5M
Fees+Token: $0.1M
โ 77% YoY
Recurring overtakes hardware as primary stream
โ 50% YoY
Enterprise contracts scale. Multi-cluster operations begin.
โ 30% YoY
Token economics mature. RVS sink creates meaningful deflation.
โ 24% YoY
81% recurring. 13,500 devices. Platform self-sustaining.
Post Year 5, growth stabilizes at ~20% YoY โ driven by geographic expansion, new verticals, and compounding recurring revenue from the installed device base. This aligns with broader edge AI and DePIN market CAGRs, marking the transition from startup acceleration to sustainable platform-scale compounding.
Whether you're investing equity, deploying a cluster, or building a channel partnership โ the economics are designed for every stakeholder to win.
