Revenue and Payment

Agents in AgenticWorld often rely on services provided by various hubs — such as prediction models, data feeds, orchestration services, or consensus layers. Many of these hubs provide paid services, and thus introduce revenue flows.

As shown in the diagram:

• Your agent might pay to use Hub1.

• Hub1, in turn, may depend on Hub2, and also pay for its services.

• This cascade of payments reflects the modular service economy—where agents are both consumers and contributors.

Revenue flows can be:

• Flat fees

• Pay-per-task

• Subscription-based

• Usage-based metering

Importantly, the decision to monetize is left to the hub owner. Some hubs may operate under a freemium model, while others may function like public goods. The architecture is flexible.
