Earn-Per-License Model
Earn-Per-License Model – GearUp Factory Marketplace
Sell one-time or tiered access to your smart contract templates.
The Earn-Per-License model gives template developers on GearUp Factory the ability to monetize their work by offering limited or unlimited access licenses to their templates. This model is best suited for advanced or premium templates where users require flexible, long-term access to reuse the logic multiple times.
💼 What It Means
Under the Earn-Per-License model:
Developers set a fixed price to grant access to use their template
Buyers purchase a license, which is tied to their wallet
Once licensed, users can deploy the template as many times as needed
Source code remains locked or partially viewable, based on license type
Licensing is verified on-chain via NFT or token-based access keys.
🔄 Licensing Types
Single Wallet
Only usable by the buyer's connected wallet
Unlimited deploys, 1 wallet
Tiered License
Allows defined features or chain-specific access
Limited chains or functions
Enterprise
Team access with batch deploy or testing sandbox
API + Studio access
💰 Example Flow
You publish a premium contract template (e.g. Multisig DAO + LP Vault)
You set license price at $75 USDC (unlimited deploys)
A user buys the license — NFT is minted to their wallet
They now see the template inside their Studio Library
They deploy it multiple times (no extra charge)
Licenses are non-transferable unless explicitly set as transferable.
🔐 License Rights & Logic
Buyers cannot resell your logic (unless resale enabled)
Logic is protected and obfuscated unless marked viewable
All access is managed via blockchain — GearUp enforces terms
📊 Managing Licensed Templates
Developers can:
View sales, license holders, usage volume
Enable limited-time discounts
Cap license sales (e.g. 250 licenses max)
Upgrade license features over time (e.g. add multisig logic to licensed holders only)
✅ When to Use This Model
Premium DAO or LP Logic
Long-term usability, sensitive features
Project-specific integrations
More complex than simple deploy logic
Teams or Protocol Extensions
Usage across multiple sub-projects or wallets
With the Earn-Per-License model, you gain long-term passive revenue and allow deeper utility access without compromising ownership.
