Pubky Incentives
This note is indicative and creative. Nothing is planned concretely for Pubky incentives. For the Pubky ecosystem to function at scale, it relies on incentives that encourage participation and uphold the user experience:
-
Data storage fees pay stores for availability and throughput.
-
Tipping and subscriptions reward high-quality contributors and curators.
-
Advertising supports free-tier services and indexes through contextual/non-intrusive formats.
-
Validation bonds and slashing conditions secure protocol compliance.
-
Data marketplace sales enable professional content creators to profit directly.
-
Job boards and service directories create opportunities within the emerging peer-to-peer economy.
Together, these push the system towards collective benefit over individual maximization.
