# Business Model

**Tirai** is designed as **protocol-level UX infrastructure**, not a centralized marketplace.\
Value is captured by automating privacy, off-chain coordination, and auditor scoping — services that are costly and unreliable when handled manually.

## Core Principle

> Tirai monetizes **UX and integration**, not bounty fees.

Researchers always receive the full bounty amount defined by the project owner.\
Tirai never takes a cut from the payout itself.

## 1. Free Core Protocol

The core flows — pay, claim, audit, bounties — are **free forever**.

This includes:

* Cloak SDK integration (Cloak handles its own fees independently)
* Wallet authentication
* Bounty board listing and matching
* CSV / PDF audit exports

## 2. Optional Premium Tier

For organizations with advanced needs, Tirai offers premium features:

* Multi-user audit dashboards with role-based access
* Custom audit report templates
* White-label branding and custom domains
* SLA-backed support and onboarding

These features are **opt-in** and never gate the core privacy guarantees.

## 3. Infrastructure-as-a-Service for Protocols & DAOs

Tirai can be adopted by:

* Web3 protocols running continuous bug bounties
* DAOs managing contributor incentive programs
* Security foundations seeking private, auditable payouts

Potential integrations:

* White-label bounty programs for security DAOs
* Plugin SDK for custom validation rules
* Compliance-as-a-Service for compliance teams

This positions Tirai as **shared privacy infrastructure**, not a closed platform.

## 4. Ecosystem-Aligned Incentives

Tirai's business model avoids rent-seeking behavior.

Design choices:

* No subscription fees for individual researchers
* No pay-to-list bounties
* No custody of user funds
* No fees taken from bounty amounts

Value is earned only when **trustless privacy infrastructure succeeds**.
