iXXo revenues comes from:
- Clusters slot allocations. Stacked tokens are here as a guarantee, while iXXo "rents" the cluster slot by removing 1% of the stacked tokens every month. This percentage is fixed in the protocol, such as the 12 months rent duration, and cannot be changed by iXXo alone (it would need a global vote organized in iXXo governance framework).
2.Gas fees. although gas prices are defined and advertised by each cluster, iXXo retrives 49% of those gas fees for maintaining the overall network, cloud, and development teams. Among those 49%, up to our distrusted applications and sales network, as in iXXo model we are sharing fees revenues with application builders and sales people.
3.Tokens slots. dApps are showing they are willing to protect users by stacking some IXO tokens for getting a listed token natively in IXO smart contracts. iXXo "rent" the tokens listing slot by removing 1% of the stacked iXXo tokens every month. This percentage is fixed in the protocol, such as the 12 month rent duration, and cannot be changed by iXXo alone (it would need a global vote organized in iXXo governance framework).
when no slots are available anymore (tokens or clusters), the slot with the lowest stacked amount can be outbid at every period end (after 12 months), with a new entrant with higher stake. For tokens slots, tokens are not lost but converted into an ERC20 token contact.
