The Business

As a community owned payments services that allow for a sustainable and self-regulated operation, Comuna paves the way to create attractive business lines that make community and business growth a win-win scenario. Within our vision, we plan to migrate payments services and operations to a web3 environment that will be tokenized and thus, granting transparency and accessibility to its owners.

Business thesis

• Main revenues will come from a % of each transaction carried out by POS, loyalty programs and usage of the infrastructure by 3rd parties
• Additional revenues will come from token staking and yields
• Membership NFTs with the potential of generating yields in secondary markets (Opensea, Niftly, Rarible, etc)

A network of networks

• Comuna will grow as it integrates additional payment technologies within its ecosystem
• Future payment services that the DAO will try to integrate will have to meet the following requirements:
  • Payment technologies or related to payments that want to decentralize its technology when applicable
  • Interoperable protocols within the fintech ecosystem that are related to payments and/or services within the value chain
  • Are active in the region, have an MVP, some traction or are in growth stage
• Products in idea stage that are brewed by and for the community
• As a commission based model, adopters (POS), users (buyers) and community will create a circular economy whereby an increase in growth at any side of the market, will create a net positive impact in the business model

Launch Plan

During the first phase of our Go Live, Comuna will focus in making its first Proof of Concept a success by:

• Integrating Flux QR in its ComunaGuild
• Generate traction with the community
• Allocate initial token batch

As Comuna grows as a community and business, additional independent payments operators and products across the value chain will be added. This will allow Comuna to become the payment network DAO in Latin America.
