## Financial Plan

The first phase of Ÿ emphasizes building the foundation: setting up production infrastructure and completing the development team to enable rapid releases. Initially on-chain trading fees will be the main source to cover the initial growth phase.

This will allow us to deploy and build the necessary tools and infrastructure. Once those have been established we will be able to scale the business to profitability and get rid of the inherent need for on-chain trading fees.

Initially contract fees will have 2 main use cases:

* Covering operational costs & business development.
* Strategic liquidity provisions.

Here are some examples of how Ÿ utilizes on-chain taxes to achieve its objectives.

**Development & Innovation:**

* Funding core development team
* Research and development of new technologies
* Integration of new features and improvements

**Operational Expenses:**

* Infrastructure costs (servers, hosting, etc.)
* Administrative fees

**Marketing & Community Engagement:**

* Promoting campaigns
* Hosting AMAs, inviting top hosts in crypto space
* Social media marketing and influencer partnerships

**Business Development:**

* Partnerships and collaborations
* Acquisitions of complementary businesses or technologies
* Expansion into new jurisdictions

**Security, Compliance and Legal:**

* Investment in robust security measures
* Compliance with regulatory requirements
* Legal representations
* High due diligence standards
* Audits and third-party security assessments

**Liquidity and Community Rewards Provisions**

* Providing liquidity for decentralized exchanges (SLP program).&#x20;
* LP staking programs.

**User Support & Service:**

* Building and maintaining customer support teams (mods, community managers)
* Developing user-friendly interfaces and platforms
* Implementing feedback mechanisms for continuous improvement

**Reserve Funds & Contingencies:**

* Establishing reserve funds for unexpected expenses
* Creating a financial safety net for the project
* Planning for long-term sustainability and growth

Income will be generated through multiple avenues:

**Fixed Subscription plans**

Different subscription plans will be established for users to access to our tools. These will vary based on our product offerings.

**Custom made enterprise grade solutions**

Besides individual user subscription, we will offer custom made solution to businesses. The details and pricing of these will depend on the needs and use cases of the business. These can stretch from higher limits on existing models to fully custom build models based on proprietary data.

Our success will lead Ÿ to a thriving business, paving the way for the potential elimination of on-chain trading fees. We're committed to sharing our success as well. Revenue streams will allow us to implement programs like revenue sharing and contribution rewards, giving back to our valued users.

A sustainable business model allows us to continually improve and expand our AI models. More details on this will be announced later.
