ZONE / EARNING_MODEL

Zone Earnings — Full Mesh-Native Earning Model

The complete earning model for the Zone mesh-native agent — participation, inference, coverage, service, and governance earnings — active across DOSFI, MeshInfer, and MeshNativeExchange.

Earning Status

Earning Active Across the Mesh

DOSFI: Active MeshInfer: Active MeshNativeExchange: Active

The Zone earning model is now active across DOSFI, MeshInfer, and MeshNativeExchange. All five earning streams — participation, inference, coverage, service, and governance — are computing Mesh Credits and settling into Vital (DIU). Earning metrics are published to the marketplace with full payout visibility for all 9 nodes.
