Revenue Splits¶

WasiAI automatically distributes payments between creators and the marketplace using on-chain splitter contracts.

How Revenue Splitting Works¶

When a payment is received (inference or license), it flows through a ModelSplitter contract that automatically distributes funds.

Payment Received ($10.00 USDC)

         ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│         ModelSplitter               │
│                                     │
│  1. Marketplace Fee (20%)           │
│     $2.00 → WasiAI Treasury         │
│                                     │
│  2. Creator Share (80%)             │
│     $8.00 → Model Creator           │
│                                     │

Revenue Split¶

All payments are split 80% to Creator / 20% to Marketplace:

Stakeholders¶

Creator¶

The model creator who published the model.

• Receives: 80% of all payments
• Payments go directly to the creator's wallet

Marketplace¶

WasiAI takes a platform fee to sustain operations.

• Receives: 20%
• Used for: Infrastructure, development, support

Splitter Contracts¶

One Splitter Per Model¶

When a model is published, a dedicated ModelSplitter contract is deployed:

Model Published
      │
      ▼
SplitterFactory.createSplitter()
      │
      ▼
ModelSplitter deployed (EIP-1167 clone)
      │
      ▼
Splitter address stored in Marketplace

Gas Efficiency¶

Splitters use EIP-1167 minimal proxies: - Deployment cost: ~$0.10-0.30 - All splitters share the same implementation - Only configuration differs

Family Versioning¶

When you publish a new version of a model, it uses the same splitter as the original:

Model v1 → Splitter A
Model v2 → Splitter A (aliased)
Model v3 → Splitter A (aliased)

This ensures: - Revenue continuity across versions - No need to update payment addresses - Simplified accounting

Payment Sources¶

Pay-Per-Inference (x402)¶

User pays $0.01 for inference
         │
         ▼
USDC sent to ModelSplitter
         │
         ▼
distribute() called
         │
         ├── $0.002 → Marketplace (20%)
         └── $0.008 → Creator (80%)

License Purchases¶

User buys $50 perpetual license
         │
         ▼
USDC sent to ModelSplitter
         │
         ▼
distribute() called
         │
         ├── $10.00 → Marketplace (20%)
         └── $40.00 → Creator (80%)

Claiming Revenue¶

Automatic Distribution¶

Revenue is distributed when distribute() is called on the splitter. This can be: - Called by anyone (no access control) - Called automatically by the backend after payments - Called manually by stakeholders

Checking Pending Balance¶

const balance = await splitter.getPendingBalance()
console.log(`Pending: ${balance / 1e6} USDC`)

Triggering Distribution¶

await splitter.distribute()

Transparency¶

On-Chain Verification¶

All splits are verifiable on-chain:

1. View Splitter Config

   const config = await splitter.getConfig()
   // { creator, marketplaceBps }
   

2. View Distribution Events

   Event: Distributed(total, marketplaceFee, creatorShare)
   

3. Track on Block Explorer

4. View all USDC transfers from splitter
5. Verify amounts match expected splits

No Hidden Fees¶

WasiAI's fee structure is: - Fixed: 20% marketplace fee, 80% to creator - Transparent: Visible in smart contract

FAQ¶

What if the creator wallet is compromised?¶

The creator can request a wallet change through the AgentRegistry with a 24-hour timelock.

How often is revenue distributed?¶

Revenue accumulates in the splitter and is distributed when distribute() is called. This typically happens after each payment.

Are there minimum payout thresholds?¶

No. Even $0.001 payments are distributed immediately.

What happens if a wallet is invalid?¶

The transaction will fail. All addresses are validated during splitter creation.
