Business model

Matera has a dual web2/web3 business model, capturing fees at various points in the system. In the initial stages, we reserve the right to update the fees depending on the requirement of the company. Eventually, the fees will be governed by the MATR token holders.

1. Boost fee

Creators / sponsors / brands are incentivized to add marketing budgets to treasury to reward their fans, or boost their Matera Points. Matera takes a fee from these contributions to the treasury.

2. Liquidity Fees

Matera takes a fee from the liquidity pools, similar to any Automated Market Maker. Fee of the main pool MATR+USDT is determined by MATR token holders. For new pools, fees are determined by COMBO holders.

3. Minting fees

Creators will have the option to initiate on-chain transactions to unlock additional value: verify their profile on chain, export their social graph, mint their Points into a collectible to enter raffle, and many other opportunities. Matera will charge small fees for these optional transactions.

4. Layer 2 / Gas fees

As Matera becomes more of an infrastructure play with our own Layer 2, we will charge gas fees natively for all transactions.
