you can't answer them can you give me the email of someone on the team who can get me answers?
1.) How much revenue does chainlink currently make now? Looking for an answer along the lines of "we charge 0.1 Link per output of data, and we get 100k per day on average as of lately"
2.) What are the barriers to entry for copycat pricing oracles?
3.) Have you guys crunched the numbers on pricing schemes. Let me elaborate. If the costs of getting data is decreased, more people will be able to afford it but the profits will be lower. If the costs are increased, the profit will be higher but less people will be able to afford it. Have you guys actually done the math on this and found optimal price structures?
4.) Any rough estimates on how quickly more data feeds besides ETH/USD will become available for link staking?
1) You can see how much LINK is being paid to Chainlink node operators in the new Chainlink Market website 2) I don't understand your question so I'd appreciate if you could rephrase it 3) I think it is important to understand that fundamentally, there are two pricing models when it comes to node operators and job requests fulfillment: direct requests and subscription models. (Please note that this is my high-level understanding of it and I could be wrong). - In the case of direct requests, independent Chainlink node operators will always seek a pricing per job that makes sense given their costs (infrastructure, customized external adapters creation, development time, gas costs, frequency of the job requests... etc), ie: a LINK price per job that covers those costs + a % profit margin. This model while not always easily scalable, makes a lot of sense given that it is almost always profitable as long as you revisit & renegotiate the pricing from time to time to make sure you are adapting to gas costs changes. - In the subscription model, however, a subset of independent Chainlink node operators agree on updating an on-chain data feed on a fixed-time basis (aka heartbeat) and when the data being tracked changes its state (e.g: +0.5% price increase of an asset) (aka deviation threshold). It doesn't really matter how many users consume that data, the node operators of that data feed will always operate on the same pre-agreed terms. So users subscribe to this feed and prefund it with a fixed amount of LINK so Chainlink node operators are properly incentivized to keep operating on a steady basis. This model, while not profitable at first, can scale its profitability by increasing the amount of subscriptions while costs are basically fixed. 4) This has not been publicly disclosed and we will have to wait in order to know. I hope this helps 👍
