# Revenue streams

Dormint employs a strategic revenue mechanism to ensure the platform's sustainability and growth, leveraging the DOAI token to create a deflationary economic model.

## **Agent Usage Fees**

* **Public API Access**: All AI agents on Dormint’s platform are accessible via a public API, allowing anyone to use them permissionlessly. This openness encourages the widespread adoption and utilization of AI agents across various applications.
* **Per-Inference Cost**: The cost per inference call is predetermined, ensuring transparency and predictability for users when utilizing AI agents.

## **Payment Mechanism**

* **Pre-Loading DOAI Tokens**: Users must pre-load DOAI tokens into their wallets to access and utilize AI agents via the public API. This pre-loading acts as a form of collateral and ensures the platform has a steady flow of tokens.
* **On-Chain Transactions**: AI agents deduct DOAI tokens on a per-transaction basis, and all transactions are conducted on-chain. This ensures the security, transparency, and immutability of all transactions within the platform.

## **Revenue Flow**

* **User Payments**: When a user calls an AI agent via the API, DOAI tokens are deducted from the user's wallet and transferred directly to the agent's wallet. This transfer is a direct revenue stream for the platform and the agent creators.

## **Revenue Utilization**

* **Buyback and Burn**: The DOAI tokens collected in the agent's wallet are used to buy back the agent's tokens from the open market. The bought-back agent tokens are then burned, reducing the total supply of DOAI tokens.
* **Deflationary Pressure**: Burning agent tokens reduces the total supply, creating deflationary pressure. This mechanism can potentially increase the value of the remaining DOAI tokens by making them scarcer.

## **Deflationary Benefits**

* **Increased Token Value**: By continuously reducing the total supply of DOAI tokens through the buyback and burn process, the remaining tokens become more valuable over time.
* **Sustainable Growth**: The deflationary model ensures that the platform remains economically sustainable, providing long-term benefits for token holders and participants.
