Monetization via Premium Usernames & Microservices

Beyond the Proof-of-Engagement mining model, Sudo implements micro-monetization streams that not only sustain the platform but also continuously drive demand for the SUDO token. These monetization methods are designed as token sinks, ensuring that usage directly contributes to reducing supply and increasing scarcity.

1. Premium Usernames

A. Naming Rules

Username Length	Price	Type
1–6 characters	$1/month	Paid
7+ characters	Free	Default
Branded names	Auction-based	Premium Brand Handle

• Short Usernames: Highly sought after due to scarcity and branding potential.

• Branded/Premium Names: Allocated through competitive auctions to ensure fair market valuation.

• Generic Free Usernames: Available for longer, non-branded handles.

B. Economic Model

• Users can reserve short or branded usernames by paying in USDT or SUDO.

• All collected funds are auto-swapped for SUDO from decentralized exchanges and 100% burned, removing them permanently from circulation.

C. Username Trading & Valuation

• Usernames are tokenized as ERC-721 NFTs, allowing full transferability.

• The market determines value via buy/sell auctions.

• High-demand usernames (e.g., @elon, @nft) can appreciate significantly, creating a secondary trading economy.

2. Paid Microservices Sudo integrates utility-based microservices that enhance community interaction while generating token demand.

A. Zoom-like Group Calls

• Group or channel owners can host encrypted video/audio meetings.

• Free for 1-on-1 calls, with paid access for larger sessions.

• Host Fee: $1/hour, split: 50% for operational costs. / 50% converted to SUDO and burned.

B. Group & Channel Smart Contract Linking

• DApp creators can link verified smart contracts to Sudo groups/channels for automated membership sync.

• Fee: $10 per contract link.

• Fee Usage: 100% converted to SUDO and burned, making every integration a deflationary event.

3. Total Revenue Usage

Source	Fee	Usage
Username Purchase	$1/month/user	100% burned
Group Video Call (Zoom Style)	$1/hour	50% burned, 50% operations
Contract Sync Fee	$10/use	100% burned

All monetization flows are deflationary by design, ensuring no token inflation while increasing scarcity with each transaction.

4. Example Burn Impact

• Username Purchases:

10,000 users × $1/month = $10,000 USDT → Converted to SUDO → 100% burned.

• Smart Contract Linking:

  10,000 integrations × $10 = $100,000 USDT → Converted to SUDO → 100% burned.

These mechanisms create real token sinks driven by platform usage, not speculation, aligning token value growth with actual ecosystem adoption.
