Business Strategy

Fiat Revenue Strategy: [E.g. We plan to sell NFTs which represent in-game items for US Dollars].
Our strategy is increasing utility of ESTM token which we are going to explore until SMT launch. Latest releases offer user to purchase in-app points to experiment with use cases. As we improve gamification of app, we hope this revenue stream will help us expand.
Fiat Revenue Projections in $/user every month: [E.g. $10/user]
Roughly estimate, total revenue of all users per month = $2,500
Revenue per user per month = $2,500 / 7,500 = $0.33
How will your business strategy increase the amount of STEEM being powered up and/or burnt?
Our STEEM earnings are locked up as Steem power to help us increase our support towards our users.
What financial incentives are you willing to provide to Steemit, Inc. and/or the Steem Community in return for the delegation? i.e. What's your skin in the game? [E.g. project tokens, revenue-share, etc.]
For Steem community, we are offering free tools and services that will help them access blockchain on go and any time. Giving complete freedom and all eSteem users are mining ESTM on top of STEEM rewards.
For Steemit Inc. we haven't had any financial incentive, but are willing to allocate 10,000 ESTM tokens monthly.
Are you or how will you become financially sustainable once the delegation is removed?
Our goal always is to be financially sustainable. With proper aligned incentives on ESTM utility token, we are one step closer. ESTM gamification will be huge incentive for our users to stay active as well as attract new users to Steem.
