Business & Revenue Model
EdgeMob is designed to operate as a sustainable, self-reinforcing ecosystem where developer demand for compute directly funds node operator incentives. Its business model balances accessibility for developers with attractive earnings for mobile participants, while also enabling enterprise adoption and long-term ecosystem growth.
Revenue Streams
API Gateway Fees
Developers and dApps pay for inference requests routed through the EdgeMob API Gateway.
Fees are usage-based, ensuring accessibility for small projects and scalability for large workloads.
Enterprise SDK Licensing
Enterprises can license EdgeMob SDKs and libraries for private, secure deployments on employee or customer devices.
Tailored service-level agreements (SLAs) and dedicated support generate enterprise-grade revenue streams.
Model Marketplace
Developers can monetize their custom models by publishing them in the EdgeMob marketplace.
Revenue is shared between model creators, hosting operators, and the ecosystem treasury.
Staking & Network Fees
A small percentage of transaction and staking fees are directed to the EdgeMob treasury.
Funds support ecosystem grants, governance initiatives, and long-term sustainability.
Economic Alignment
Closed-Loop Economy: Payments made in EGMO tokens by developers flow to node operators, ensuring direct alignment between usage and supply.
Scalability: As more devices join the network, supply grows to meet increasing demand, reducing costs per inference.
Resilience: Token-based rewards and staking ensure long-term participation and discourage malicious activity.
Market Opportunity
AI infrastructure is projected to be a multi-hundred-billion-dollar market over the next decade.
Decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) are gaining momentum across storage, bandwidth, and compute. EdgeMob extends this model to AI, tapping into the world’s largest underutilized compute layer: smartphones.
By combining API fees, enterprise licensing, marketplace monetization, and staking-driven sustainability, EdgeMob establishes a business model that is scalable, resilient, and aligned with the long-term growth of mobile-native AI compute.
