The Journey Ahead: Crowdfund to Apache

by•

How we scale from a solo-developed deployment into a community-led open foundation.

Phase 1: Bootstrapping (Current)

Public Free Tier APIs

The engine runs closed-source to refine performance. General users enjoy free API quotas supported entirely by public crowd-funding and sponsorships for base server upkeep.

Phase 2: Open Core & Stability

Enterprise Tiers & Crowdfund Scale

As Developer Partners (2,500+) expand, premium high-volume enterprise subscription layers launch. All revenue goes straight toward scaling cloud servers, with 10% dedicated to Eirene Tech Society upkeep

Phase 3: The Ultimate Vision

Apache 2.0 Open Source Foundation

Once a broad developer partner (5,000+) ecosystem takes root, the codebase goes completely open-source under the Apache License. We transition governance into an official legal Section 8 non-profit foundation
