	At the beginning, subscription revenue is intended to cover three things:		Subscription money is intended to go exclusively to covering the operating and development costs of the platform. The key principle proposed is a simple division: '''subscriptions cover the operating costs of the platform''' (servers, general maintenance, coordination), while '''signed contracts cover the costs of the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups\|User Groups]]''', through their commissions.

			At the beginning, during the startup phase, subscription revenue is intended to cover three things:

	# '''Rewards for the Early Supporters''' who believed in the project by supporting it at its riskiest stage. These [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards\|Rewards]] are tied to the deliverables of the first funding round: see [[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Prototype-1-Deliverables\|Prototype 1 Deliverables]].		# '''Rewards for the Early Supporters''' who believed in the project by supporting it at its riskiest stage.

			=== A startup model, not the definitive model ===

			Within Prototype 1, in order to give a starting impulse, the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Bonding-Curve\|bonding curve]] is used and a share of the revenue would return to the Early Supporters as Rewards. This rewards model, tied to the initial support, is not intended to be the definitive model: it is a startup and incubation model. Progressively, there would be no new supporters of this type, only subscriptions, and subscription revenue would then serve exclusively the operating and development costs of the platform.

			Beyond this, many complementary mechanisms are being considered and are intended to be added over time: compensations, incentives, non-discrimination safeguards, positive discrimination programmes, support for community programmes, and more.
