Hello folks,

There are currently no discussions open on our Polkassembly, so I figured I'd give a shot to create a space to collaborate with thoughtful, and grounded ideas on Integritee's path to profitability. This is my first time opening a discussion on Polkassembly therefore, if there are any issues, it's part of my/our learning curve.

Let's start.

First and fore most, by profitability I mean the networks ability to sustain itself by maintaining itself, attracting talent, retaining talent, marketing itself, evolving, and continuing to generate network profits to reinvest in itself; a virtuous loop, if you will. Such loop would be, ideally, sustained by fully decentralized governance.

There are certain key consideration that, from my perspective, have yet to be resolved in order to understand how to reach profitability. But I'll start with the one I feel there has been less information about. We have a suit of products that require payment for usage in $TEER. Some have been built and are ready to deploy. The question is, what will be the costs to use each? Discounts on lock-dropping? What proportion of these network fees will be burnt? Can we bundle services into packages?

I'm a non-technical analyst here, therefore, cannot comment on the intricacies of what requires more computational effort therefore more cost. But, if it's possible, could we get some input on the team on the costs structure of each product? (i.e. Attesteer, teeracle), or are the services that are bundled into the the SDK which are paid in a flat $TEER cost per each extrinsic.

Best.



- **Problem Statement:** Lack of discussions on Polkassembly regarding Integritee's path to profitability, seeking input on cost structures and profitability strategies.
- **Significance:** Understanding cost structures and profitability strategies is crucial for sustaining and evolving the network.
- **Proposed Solution:** Requesting information on the cost structure of products like Attesteer and Teeracle to determine usage costs and potential bundling options.
- **Expected Outcomes:** Gain insights on cost structures, potential discounts, fee burning proportions, and bundling strategies to drive profitability and sustainability.
