Revenue model

1. Network Transaction Fees: HBAR cryptocurrency serves as the medium of exchange for network fees. Fees are fixed in USD (starting at $0.0001) and automatically converted to HBAR at transaction time. Fees flow to node operators rather than token holders.
2. Enterprise Licensing (HashSphere): HashSphere private network offered as enterprise license with services and 24/5 support for regulated institutions requiring private deployments.
3. Developer Ecosystem Revenue: Growth of ecosystem through developer tooling, studios (AI Studio, Asset Tokenization, Stablecoin Studio, Sustainability Studio), and platform services that drive HBAR utility demand.
