1. If revenues are coming from big amount subscription fee which I believe rare then revenue will not be in big amount, so how is the benefit and potential profit to the investors? one channel for successful ICO can be predicted from how big the profit to be gained to the investors who is hunting then will hold your coins/tokens
2. As there is planned to use SWAP, I think it is avoided by other exchanges as their fees will be cut significantly. So how is the exchange of your tokens if lot of exchanges are not interested to list your tokens?
Your questions are fair.
1. The size of the TOKPIE tokenomics or you can call it "GDP of the platform" (the amount of all revenue nominated, e.g., in USD) is one of the two keys factors, which determines the price of the token. Another primary factor is velocity and inflation (zero inflation for TOKPIE tokens because its number is limited).
So, the GDP of the TOKPIE platform will be consisting of the following revenue sources:
1. Subscription fees.
2. Add-ons sales
3. Interest earnings.
The subscription fee is a win-win condition for both: the platform and high-volume traders (HVT).
The platform is benefiting from high liquidity provided by HTCs, which attracts more and more users. New users, in turn, attract more HVTs. The result we get the big point of attraction for any traders!
HTCs are benefiting from the lowest transactional costs in the market. For example, a subscription fee 90 US dollar equivalent per month is better for a trader who would pay minimum 300 USD in any centralized exchange for the trade volume about 300 000 USD. For example, when we attract first 100k users, and 10% of them will be HTC, this gives about 10k x $90 = $900 000/mo = $10 800 000/year. Not bad for overall GDP.
We predict that add-ons will give about $240k US dollar equivalent at the end of the second year of operations. Most of this revenue will come from start-ups wishing to organize their token sales and / or to be listed on our platform. Taking in mind, that current fee for the listing varies from $20k to $1mln and the number of new ICO is growing, we could be very competitive in that market.
Interests earnings include a "rollover" fee paid by traders who want to use leverage or marginal trading for making p2p transactions. The average interest rate charged by centralized exchanges for such operations is about 22-25%. We will offer 15%, and expect to receive approximately $720k at the end of the second year of working.
Low Velocity will be obtained by the offering access to the special sections of the platform (dark pool order books, b2b order books, derivatives trading, lending, etc.) only to users who have the minimal number (will be determined later) of TOKPIE tokens on its balances.
2. SWAP (or the ability to exchange crypto-assets to other crypto-assets) is crucial for our model and mission - make crypto assets available everywhere to everyone! Besides, the concept and algorithms of the platform allow us to add the unlimited number of different digital assets. It's a matter of time and servers' capacity when we add all of them.
