We talked about whitelabeling of smart contracts - a special licensing agreement that allows forking the smart contracts, but only if the developer address is kept in the contract, so that it continues to receive the fees as recurring revenue.


We think it's the optimal solution for the blockchain development dilemma - should we release the code under permissive or restrictive license?

We must release the code anyway because we have to verify the contract on the block explorer. So the only question is - what license to use?

Whitelabeling answers this question in two ways - first, use a restrictive license in the code submitted to the block explorer, second, add a paragraph saying that you're open to whitelabeling (legal forking).

The other developers would then sign the whitelabeling agreement & develop their own products on top of the smart contracts (new UIs with better features, or even larger smart contract systems which extend the existing code).

Since the fees are split in a fair way, everyone is happy - both the original developer and the fork developer receive the recurring revenue.

We'll keep ourselves focused on the agent program, but we'll also keep our eyes open for whitelabeling opportunities.
