Revenue Streams

How AEDX Generates Revenue

AEDX operates on a sustainable and scalable revenue model, ensuring long-term stability while funding public initiatives. Through a combination of investment returns, transaction fees, and financial services, AEDX creates value while maintaining low costs for users.

1. Investment Returns on Fiat Reserves

AEDX’s fiat reserves are securely invested in low-risk assets, such as government bonds, generating consistent returns. This provides a stable revenue base while ensuring the AEDX peg remains fully backed.

Example: A reserve pool of AED 2 billion earning an average 5% annual return generates AED 100 million in revenue.

2. Transaction Fees

AEDX enables low-cost, high-volume transactions, charging a small fee (0.1%–0.5%) per transaction. This keeps payments affordable while scaling revenue as adoption increases.

Example: If AEDX processes AED 1 billion in transactions per month, a 0.2% fee generates AED 2 million monthly (AED 24 million annually).

3. Yield Management Fees

Users and businesses can stake large AEDX reserves to earn yields of 3–8% annually. AEDX charges a small fee (e.g., 1%) on the total yield, unlocking an additional revenue stream.

Example: If AED 1 billion is staked at a 5% yield, AEDX earns AED 50 million annually in management fees.

4. Smart Contract Automation Fees

AEDX offers custom smart contract solutions for businesses, automating payments and improving efficiency in sectors like supply chain and trade finance. A small service fee (0.5%) is charged on these automated transactions.

Example: If a company processes AED 1 billion in supply chain transactions annually, AEDX earns AED 5 million in service fees from just one client.

A Self-Sustaining Model for Growth & Impact

These revenue streams allow AEDX to remain financially robust while funding public initiatives, reducing costs for users, and driving adoption—ensuring long-term stability and positive social impact.
