💰 The Problem: Creators build the models. Big Tech gates them behind expensive APIs. → Devs get GitHub stars → Users pay hidden markups → Cloud giants keep the upside MODELZ flips the script with onchain ownership + revenue.

Every model becomes a mini-startup: When usage grows, the value flows back to the builders and token holders.

🔁 The Modelz Flywheel: 1️⃣ IMO — Seed the treasury & reward devs 2️⃣ Revenue Share — API fees split to stakers, devs, compute 3️⃣ Governance — Vote on upgrades + licensing A self-sustaining economy for open models.

👥 What’s in it for you? • Devs → Upfront + ongoing rewards • Builders → Stake to offset API costs • Investors → Bet on AI adoption early • DAOs → Govern the models you rely on Aligned incentives. No middlemen.

📍 Example: DeepSeek-LLM Today: → Free demo, closed enterprise API, devs earn $0 On Modelz: → Premium endpoints stream value to token holders, devs, and community fund Model usage becomes a shared economy.
