# Economics

> CashmereLabs revenue model and economic alignment.

## Overview

The Autonomous Monetary Infrastructure is designed to be self-sustaining while remaining cost-efficient for users and partners. Revenue is tied directly to delivered value and risk-managed operations.

## Revenue Sources

* **Relayer Fees** – fees collected on every zero-slippage transfer executed through Cashmere Bridge. Fees reflect attestation costs, compute, and margin for operational resilience.
* **Autonomous Yield Service Fees** – performance- and management-based fees applied to balances managed by Cashmere Yield Agents, aligned with risk-adjusted returns.
* **On/Off-Ramp Fees** – spread-based or flat fees on conversions between fiat and stablecoins facilitated through Cashmere Gate’s partner network.
* **Cashmere App Revenue** – premium workflow features, analytics, and enterprise integrations offered through the Cashmere application layer, plus revenue-sharing with ecosystem partners.

## Alignment Principles

* **Usage-Based Pricing** – fees scale with actual usage and balances, eliminating hidden costs such as liquidity mining or wrapped-asset premiums.
* **Transparency** – all fees are surfaced in quotes prior to execution; no surprise markups or embedded spread.
* **Sustainability** – diversified revenue streams fund continuous relayer operations, smart contract maintenance, and compliance coverage.
* **Partner-Friendly** – economics are structured to align with issuers, liquidity venues, and payment partners so that value accrues across the ecosystem.
