Value Accrual Summary

The Anyone Network's economic design fosters significant value accrual through various mechanisms that enhance the utility of the $ANYONE token and support the network’s sustainable growth. These mechanisms are crafted to increase the Total Value Locked (TVL), drive demand for $ANYONE, and maximize the token's value retention. Here's an analysis of the key components contributing to value accrual in the ecosystem:

1. Relay Staking Model

  • Staking Growth: As the network expands, an increasing number of relay operators are required to stake $ANYONE, significantly growing the TVL. For instance, the growth from 1,000 relays to 100,000 relays to 1,000,000 relays will create a lot of value accrual at all times within the relays themselves.

  • Incentive to Maintain Stakes: The staking model is designed to discourage un-staking. Relay operators who stake more than the minimum requirement up to the maximum allowed benefit from pro rata token emissions/rewards, enhancing their incentive to keep their tokens staked and active within the ecosystem. Additionally, relay operators will have to wait a full 30 days to release their $ANYONE tokens and would immediately lose any grandfathered in advantages from being early as a relay operator.

2. Premium Service Spending

  • Increased $ANYONE Demand: As the network matures and the quality of service improves, both individual and institutional users are expected to increase their spending on premium services, thus escalating the demand for $ANYONE as a transaction currency.

  • Economic Burn and Redistribution: Out of the payments for premium services, 15% is allocated to token burns, introducing a deflationary mechanism that supports token value appreciation. Additionally, 50% of these payments are redistributed to premium node operators, while the remaining 35% replenishes the reward pool/treasury, sustaining the network’s operational and growth needs.

3. Bandwidth Authorities

  • Delegation and Staking Opportunities: Bandwidth Authorities provide an opportunity for larger stakeholders ("whales") and traditional validators to delegate or directly stake substantial amounts of $ANYONE. This new role serves as a significant APY yield source within the ecosystem, appealing to investors seeking passive returns.

  • High Demand Potential: This segment is poised for high demand, given its attractive yield prospects and crucial role in network performance verification.

4. Premium-Only Servers

  • Specialized Service Offerings: Anyone plans to introduce premium-only servers tailored for specific use cases, such as less privacy-focused, one-hop servers for VPN services. These specialized servers cater to niche market demands and are accessible only through premium payments.

  • Premium Service Monetization: The operation of these servers follows the same staking structure but allows operators to earn exclusively from premium service time. This model aligns with typical decentralized VPN (DePIN) projects but introduces a unique value proposition through the Anyone ecosystem.

Conclusion

The strategies implemented for value accrual within the Anyone ecosystem are multifaceted, addressing both immediate operational needs and long-term sustainability. By balancing staking incentives, premium service fees, and innovative service offerings with deflationary token mechanisms, Anyone is poised to not only grow its network but also enhance the intrinsic value of the $ANYONE token. These efforts collectively ensure a robust, demand-driven, and economically resilient ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders.
