Revenue Codex v1.0

Simple, transparent pricing.
Free to learn. Pay to grow.

DOT operates a dual-sided model. Institutions and facilitators pay to issue and manage credentials. Learners access the platform free and pay optionally for premium portability features.

OUR MISSION & REVENUE PRINCIPLES

DOT exists to make verifiable, tamper-proof learning credentials accessible beyond traditional institutions — with particular commitment to underserved learners, community educators, and equity-focused organizations.

Revenue design must serve the mission: sustainable enough to grow, fair enough to attract the right facilitators, and open enough to reach the learners who need it most.
