# Economic Architecture

TheVapeLabs protocol is designed with a multi-layered economic framework that aligns user behavior, device adoption, and data utility into a unified value system.

At its core, the model leverages real-world activity (vaping), transforms it into anonymized behavioral data, and rewards users while enabling sustainable protocol revenue through data services and AI infrastructure.

This section outlines the **market potential**, **business model mechanics**, and **revenue pathways** that drive long-term value for users, partners, and the network.

We focus on three pillars:

1. **Market Opportunities** - the unmet needs, global trends, and addressable segments in nicotine health, DePIN, and behavioral AI
2. **Business Model** - how data flows through devices, apps, and synthetic layers to create protocol-level value
3. **Revenue Model** - how the system monetizes responsibly through hardware, tokenomics, and privacy-preserving data licensing

TheVapeLabs economic architecture is built for scale, composability, and aligned incentives - where users aren't the product, they're the value layer.
