Fees & Revenue Model

Fees & Revenue Model

JET's business model is designed to be transparent, sustainable, and aligned with token holders. This page explains how the platform generates revenue and where every dollar goes.

Revenue Sources

JET generates income from three primary streams:

1. Marketplace Transaction Fees (Primary)

• Rate: 5% of every sale

• Applied to: Component sales, website sales

• Example: User buys a component for 1,000 $JET → 50 $JET fee → 950 $JET to seller

2. Premium Subscriptions (Secondary)

• Builder Tier: Monthly subscription fee (paid in $JET)

• Creator Tier: Monthly subscription fee (paid in $JET)

• Enterprise Tier: Custom pricing (paid in $JET or fiat)

3. Optional Hosting Upgrades (Tertiary)

• Basic Hosting: Included free (JET subdomains)

• Custom Domain: Small monthly fee

• High-Traffic Plans: Additional bandwidth/storage for large sites

Where Revenue Goes

Every $JET earned by the platform is allocated transparently:

60% → Buybacks & Burns Used to purchase $JET from the open market and permanently remove it from circulation. This creates deflationary pressure that benefits all holders.

25% → Development Fund Pays for ongoing platform development:

• Engineering salaries

• Infrastructure costs (servers, databases, CDN)

• Security audits

• AI model training and improvements

10% → Marketing & Growth Funds user acquisition and ecosystem expansion:

• Advertising campaigns

• Content creation

• Community events

• Partnership development

5% → Operations & Treasury Covers day-to-day expenses and builds reserves:

• Legal and compliance

• Customer support

• General operations

• Emergency fund

Transparent Example

Let's walk through a real marketplace transaction:

Scenario: User A sells a premium hero component to User B for 2,000 $JET.

Transaction Flow:

• Sale Price: 2,000 $JET

• Platform Fee (5%): 100 $JET

• Seller Receives: 1,900 $JET

Fee Allocation (100 $JET):

• 60 $JET → Buyback wallet (used to buy $JET from market & burn)

• 25 $JET → Development fund

• 10 $JET → Marketing fund

• 5 $JET → Operations reserve

Monthly Scale Example:

If the marketplace processes 1,000,000 $JET in monthly volume:

• Total Fees:50,000 $JET

  • Buyback & Burn: 30,000 $JET (removed from circulation forever)

  • Development: 12,500 $JET

  • Marketing: 5,000 $JET

  • Operations: 2,500 $JET

  Why This Model Works

  Aligned Incentives:

  • Platform success = more marketplace activity

  • More activity = more fees collected

  • More fees = more buybacks & burns

  • More burns = benefits all token holders

  Sustainable Growth: Unlike many crypto projects that rely solely on token appreciation, JET generates real revenue from actual platform usage. This funds continuous development without requiring constant fundraising.

  Community-First: 60% of fees directly benefit token holders through buybacks and burns. The platform literally gives the majority of revenue back to the community.

  Fee Comparison (Industry Context)

  • OpenSea (NFT Marketplace): 2.5% fee

  • App Store (Apple): 30% fee

  • Gumroad (Digital Products): 10% fee

  • Shopify (E-commerce): 2% + monthly subscription

  • JET AI: 5% fee (60% returned via burns)

  JET's 5% is competitive, and unlike most platforms, a majority of fees flow back to holders.

  Future Revenue Opportunities

  As JET grows, additional revenue streams may include:

  • Enterprise white-label licensing

  • API usage fees for third-party integrations

  • Training and certification programs

  • Sponsored components and templates

  All new revenue streams will be proposed to the community through governance votes.
