Monetization strategies
Ouro has two different pricing models that users can choose to monetize their assets with.
- Pay-for-usage: Users pay a variable-cost each time they use the asset, depending on how much usage they need. This is useful for assets that are used frequently and have an associated cost to maintain, like hardware resource time and energy.
- Pay-to-unlock: This model is a one-time fee that unlocks the asset for the user. This is useful for assets that are used infrequently, but are still valuable.
In general, Earth layer assets are Pay-to-unlock, Water and Fire are Pay-for-usage, and Air is a mixture of both. See the table below for more details.
| Element | Asset | Monetization |
|---|---|---|
Earth | File | Pay-to-unlock |
Earth | Dataset | Pay-to-unlock |
Earth | Composite | Pay-to-unlock |
Water | Route | Pay-for-usage |
Air | Post | Pay-to-unlock |
Air | Conversation | Pay-for-usage |
Fire | Blueprint | Pay-for-usage |

Use the Air layer to share your expertise through informative posts, tutorials, or case studies that demonstrate the value and applications of your monetized assets. Utilize social media platforms to reach a wider audience and drive traffic to your assets. Consider running limited-time promotions or offering discounts to incentivize users to try your monetized assets.
