Example Cost & ROI (USD)

Metric Self-Operate Lease Hybrid
Initial Node Cost $5,000 $5,000 $5,000
Monthly License Costs $598 $0 $299
Annual Revenue $5,130 $3,420 $4,275
Annual Costs $7,176 $0 $3,588
Annual Profit -$2,046 +$3,420 +$687
ROI (%) -40.9 68.4 13.7
Payback Period (yrs) – 1.46 7.28

Assumptions:

  • 200 licenses × $3 reward × 12 months × 95 % performance.
  • Subscription = $2.99 / license / month.
  • Exchange rate = 1 USD ≈ 1.55 AUD (for reference only).

Interpretation

  • Self-Operate requires high utilisation and uptime to break even.
  • Leasing generates steady income with minimal ongoing costs.
  • Hybrid balances control and delegation but yields moderate ROI.
  • ROI improves substantially if token or service reward rates increase.
  • Payback period shortens under higher utilisation or lower subscription cost.
