Table 9 - Premium Pricing Plans
(Source: Pricing Strategy - Premium Pricing Rationale)
| Plan | Price | Billing | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | - | Core identity is a right, not a product |
| Premium Monthly | 0.5 AVAX/month (~$12.50 at $25 AVAX) | Monthly AVAX payment | Impulse-friendly; no commitment |
| Premium Annual | 4.8 AVAX/year (~$120 at $25 AVAX) | Annual AVAX payment | ~20% discount rewards commitment; improves cash flow predictability |
| DAO / Organization | 2 AVAX/month (~$50 at $25 AVAX) | Monthly or annual | Multi-admin, shared profile, team roster - higher value warrants higher price |

Table 10 - Transaction Fee Rationale
(Source: Pricing Strategy - Transaction Fee Rationale)
| Fee Type | Our Rate | Industry Comparable | Justification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Donation platform fee | 3% | Patreon 5-12%, Ko-fi 5% | Lower because no payment processing overhead |
| Bounty commission | 5% | Dework / Bountycaster (early-stage Web3 task markets); Upwork 20% (Web2 ceiling) | Mid-range; rewards quality marketplace curation. Note: Gitcoin deprecated its bounties product - it is no longer a valid comparator. |
| Gated content share | 8% | Patreon 5-12% (Lite: 5%, Pro: 8%, Premium: 12%), OnlyFans 20% | Sits in the middle of Patreon's range; on-chain model eliminates payment processing fees that Patreon adds on top |

Table 14 - Key Financial Assumptions
(Source: Break-Even & Growth Projections - Key Assumption Transparency)
| Assumption | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Premium conversion rate | ~10% of total registered profiles (estimated at 3–4× MAW) | Optimistic Year 2+ target - industry average freemium conversion is 2–5% of active users, but social products typically have a large registered-but-inactive base. Conversion is measured against all registered profiles, not only MAW. Year 1 should be modelled at 2–4% of total profiles; 10% is a realistic steady-state goal for Year 2+. |
| Slug adoption rate | 30% of new profiles | Slug registration is free (gas only); this metric tracks adoption, not revenue. Included here as a leading indicator for Premium conversion and organic referral traffic. |
| Monthly tip volume growth | 2× every 6 months | Chrome Extension adoption + creator community growth |
| Bounty market share | 1-2% of active Web3 task-market volume | Gitcoin deprecated its bounties product - it is not a valid benchmark. Dework and Bountycaster are the closest active comparables; the broader Upwork-style freelance market is the long-term ceiling. |
| Monthly churn rate (Premium) | 5% | Mid-range SaaS churn; improves as product matures |
| AVAX price | $25 USD | Conservative - well below recent highs |

Table 18 - Financial Risk & Mitigation
(Source: Risk & Sensitivity Analysis - Financial Risks and Mitigations)
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| AVAX price drops 50%+ | Medium | High (USD revenue drops in line with AVAX price; infrastructure and legal costs remain USD-denominated) | Regularly convert a portion of AVAX revenue into stablecoins to maintain a USD cost reserve; keep 3–6 months of fixed costs in stable assets; AVAX-denominated pricing can be reviewed if prolonged price depression affects margin |
| Premium conversion below 5% | Medium | High (MRR halves) | Increase free tier limitations; A/B test onboarding flows; add more compelling Premium features |
| Bounty market slow to grow | Medium | Medium | Prioritize tip and subscription revenue first; bounties are additive |
| Smart contract exploit | Low | Very High (reputational + financial) | Mandatory third-party audits before each contract deployment; bug bounty program; emergency pause functions |
| Regulatory action on tokens/payments | Medium | Medium-High | Legal counsel retained; no governance token until regulatory clarity; on-chain fees are utility payments, not securities |
| Competitor enters market | Medium | Medium | Network effects + on-chain reputation data are durable moats; first-mover advantage on Avalanche |
| API abuse / spam | High (without controls) | Low-Medium | Rate limiting, API key authentication, and abuse detection already in roadmap |
