Revenue Model
Core Model
Section titled “Core Model”Monetizing compute at 1.5×–8× margins. Source machines from cloud providers or DePIN networks, deliver them packaged with software, tooling, and infrastructure as a complete platform.
Example: Cloud simulation machines sourced at ~$0.50/hr, delivered as the full SimArena simulation platform at up to $4/hr. The margin comes from the software layer on top.
Revenue Streams
Section titled “Revenue Streams”Compute (primary)
- SimArena cloud simulation time (via Fabric)
- Fabric serverless GPU/CPU on demand
- Training jobs submitted through SimArena
Platform Subscriptions
- SimArena paid tiers ($59/month Builder, $149/month Team — each includes monthly credits, pay-as-you-go top-ups on top)
- Credits top-ups for agent mode, asset generation, storage
Agent Payments (x402)
- Agents pay the same credit/compute rates as human customers — no subscription required
- SimArena: agents pay ~$0.01/credit via API/MCP in USDC
- Fabric: agents pay the same per-second GPU/CPU rates via x402 in USDC
- Facilitator escrow fee added on top: funds lock upfront, release as work runs, remainder refunded on completion
- Marketplace workflow deployments — usage fees per run
Partnership / Referral
- Revenue share or discounts from cloud provider integrations
- DePIN network referrals
- Payment infrastructure partnerships
Launchpad (machine.fun)
- Platform fees from token launches
- Percentage of trading fees from funded projects
- Converted projects using the Codecflow stack
Target Customers
Section titled “Target Customers”- Robotics teams and engineers
- AI researchers (simulation + data collection)
- Startups building embodied AI products
- Students and university labs
- AI agents (autonomous compute buyers via x402)
- Education and training programs
The addressable market goes beyond robotics into the broader AI compute and tooling space, but our current focus is robotics.
