What will be the main AGATE source of revenue?
Currently there are 10 direct utilisation for Agate and in-direct potential in enormous because as an platform or blockchain protocol thousands of developers and business can use Agate to generate their own tokens and run their very own crypto economy on Agate,
here I copied 10 direct utilisation from WP:
------
Unlike most newly generated tokens of ICOs in blockchain apps or software with no or only one income stream, one of the value propositions of the AGT token is that it has several revenue streams to ensure our token holders have a solid, continuous value-added token. While we always work to add as many as possible new strong income streams for AGT token, here are some examples for the current Agate token:
1. All exchange orders between different cryptocurrencies have a fixed cost of 1.00 AGT
2. Any trades by Agate Trade Bot at the time of execution would cost 1.00 AGT
3. Although exchanging cryptocurrency to any iFiat token is free, if users want to load their cards or request bank transfers, Agate will charge them an equivalent of 1% of the transferred order in AGT token.
Example: Tim wants to transfer $500 worth of BTC to his card. He exchanged 1 BTC on the best exchange rate (1 BTC = 10,000 iUSD), and his iBucket would charge iUSD 500 (no additional exchange or transfer fee) in the next step; he wants to load $500 to his card.
As 1 AGT ~ $0.079 and 1% of $500 is $5, he needs 63.291139 AGT to authorise this order; so let’s say the value of AGT token increases by 10X, and each token is worth $0.79; to do so, he needs 6.329113 AGT to do the same, so it’s always better to buy and keep more AGT token to save more on Agate fees.
4. In order to bootstrap the Agate iFiat ecosystem while there is no transaction fee to buy any item inside Agate iFiat Ecosystem, for example, customers can go to any Agate Merchant, either in store or online, and pay 100 iUSD to buy some things, and merchants will receive the exact 100 iUSD, which they can use to pay to their suppliers who are also in this ecosystem, or they may prefer to cash out their funds to their cards or bank accounts. This is when we charge them the equivalent of 1% of a withdrawal fee in AGT token (similar to when users load their cards).
5. Ordering cards, POS terminals, printing paper rolls or any physical merchant’s accessories can be paid by AGT tokens; this would immediately add value to the tokens.
6. Agate Token Generator, as described in its section, allows everyone to create their own customised tokens. To do this, they should pay a one-off fee of 50 AGT. This can be done through Agate Token Generator GUI or Agate API Suite.
7. Any transaction, either inside iFiat Ecosystem or when businesses or developers create their own tokens, should be paid by AGT coin (like gas in Ethereum) which is 0.01 AGT.
8. Once we switch to Agate’s main net from our existing test net, all AGT coins would be minable, and as we use the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) method in our blockchain, and miners needs to buy a minimum of 50,000 AGT coins or create a public mining pool in order to start mining, this also would highly increase the demand for AGT coin.
9. Once our smart contract implementation is finished, in order to execute it in Agate, blockchain users need to pay in AGT coin.
10. B2B income, by having a comprehensive API suite, the whole suite can be used as white-label platform for those, first, who have their own customers and want to avoid banking fees (e.g., big supermarkets or petrol station chains) or companies who have their own customer acquisition methods and go to market strategy or enterprises who want to integrate Agate with their existing environment and application or even ERP. While they can generate their own iFiat tokens to make sure there is no other token issuer, all operations inside Agate blockchain would work only with AGT token, and also they should buy a API call package for each request as in the pricing table below plus 50 AGT tokens for initial account setup fee, which we will waive for the first 50 companies to get the ball rolling!
