The ability to protect a PoW operated crypto currency via notarization by Komodo has blown me away. Gamecredit took the bold step to incorporate Komodo's notarization to protect its network from double spend attacks that is rampant on PoW .
Understand I this is a historical moment one chain helping secure another chain. What is in it for Komodo? How much does it make off of notary as a service? This is a revenue generator for Komodo?
Notarization fees goto CRYPTO asset holders. Which gets paid out in KMD. Each chain that wants to use it needs 100ish KMD a year. Notaries do not make anything off the service except the transaction fees for the notarization. This is a "demand" generator , Komodo itself does not generate revenue, it services pay out to their respective asset holders.
In 2018, 10000 chains being secured by DPoW may seem ridiculous, but if the rate of growth of blockchain usage continues the way it has ,10000 may only even be 1% of the chains in existence in the not too distant future. ( Figuring a million coin market demand is "reasonable" )
