Potential market and clients

The potential of MAID depends on how many individuals or businesses will start to protect their data instead of trusting it to third parties like Google or AWS.

Utility and economic dynamics

  • Safecoin can then be used to buy Network resources—like the one-time-fee for uploading data
  • MAID can be used as a transfer of value
  • MAID can be exchanged to Safecoin at the fixed 1:1 rate
  • Safecoin is paid out to Farmers (users who contribute their computing resources) and to Builders (application developers who get paid automatically depending on how much their applications are used)
