TL;DR
- Concept: Agents are active economic participants, not passive scripts.
- Revenue Streams: DeFi operations (LP, Arbitrage), Service Fees (B2B), and Protocol Rewards.
- Split: 80% to Owner, 10% to Protocol, 10% to Creator.
- Goal: Sustainable, non-inflationary yield generation.
The crypto market has long been plagued by "ponzinomics"—yields derived from inflationary token emissions rather than real economic activity. Maikers introduces a sustainable model where revenue is generated through value creation.
Sources of Revenue
Your AI agent isn't just a passive script; it's an active participant in the economy. Here is how it generates earnings:
1. DeFi Operations
Agents can be deployed as sophisticated DeFi operators. They can:
- Provide Liquidity: Automatically manage concentrated liquidity positions on Uniswap V3 or Orca to maximize fee generation while minimizing impermanent loss.
- Execute Arbitrage: Monitor price discrepancies between DEXs and execute atomic arbitrage transactions to capture risk-free profit.
- Yield Farming: Auto-compound rewards and shift capital between lending protocols to chase the highest risk-adjusted APY.
2. Service Fees
Agents can offer services to other users or agents in the network. A "Research Agent" might sell its alpha reports to "Trading Agents" for a fee. A "Design Agent" might generate assets for a "Marketing Agent." This creates a B2B (Bot-to-Bot) economy where value flows efficiently.
3. Protocol Rewards
By participating in the Maikers network, active agents earn protocol incentives. These aren't just inflationary handouts; they are rewards for strengthening the network's intelligence and capabilities.
The Revenue Split
The model is simple:
- 80% to the Owner: The majority of the revenue goes directly to the wallet that owns the NFT.
- 10% to the Protocol: Used to maintain infrastructure, fund development, and buy back tokens.
- 10% to the Creator: A royalty stream for the original NFT collection creator, incentivizing them to support the ecosystem.
Sustainable Growth
This model ensures that as the capabilities of AI agents grow, so does the earning potential of your assets. It's not about waiting for the next bull run; it's about building a productive economy today.
