3.4 Overview of the Economic Circular Design

The economic closed-loop of Aegis Network is built around the core cycle of “Data Contribution – Value Transformation – Ecosystem Feedback”, forming a sustainable value circulation system:

Data Collection Layer: Users collect real-time biometric data (heart rate / ECG / blood pressure) and environmental data through smart rings and third-party devices. After encrypted processing on the device side, data hashes are stored on-chain, while raw data is sharded and stored in the IPFS distributed network. Users always retain control over their data through their private keys.

Value Transformation Layer: Anonymized data pools are circulated compliantly via smart contracts. Insurance companies use real-time health data streams to optimize premium models (e.g., offering 15%–20% discounts to healthy users). Pharmaceutical companies leverage aggregated disease data for new drug development (users may receive priority access to clinical trials). Government agencies analyze regional health trends to shape public health policies (e.g., targeted chronic disease intervention programs). 80% of the data transaction revenue is returned directly to users in the form of $AEGIS tokens or stablecoins, 15% is injected into the ecosystem fund for node rewards and developer incentives, and 5% is allocated to regulatory and operational costs.

Ecosystem Feedback Layer: Users can redeem Guardian Points (GP) for hardware upgrades (e.g., discounts on pro-version smart rings), health services (check-up packages / online consultations), or participate in data marketplace auctions. High-quality data contributors are granted greater governance voting power, influencing $AEGIS token distribution and ecosystem rule-making. Enterprise clients (B2B) reduce operational costs through data applications (e.g., 30% reduction in adverse selection risk for insurers), which in turn increases their data procurement budgets — forming a positive cycle of “Improved Data Quality → Increased Commercial Value → Enhanced User Incentives”.

Compliance Enabler: A regional compliance DAO dynamically adjusts data policies based on standards like GDPR and HIPAA to ensure cross-border compliance. On-chain smart contracts automatically enforce data authorization durations and usage scenarios (e.g., research data access limited to 30 days), providing technical safeguards for transparency and sustainability of the economic loop.

This closed-loop breaks away from the traditional “platform monopoly on health data profits” model, empowering individuals to become true beneficiaries of their data’s value. Meanwhile, a market-driven mechanism activates data demand across healthcare, insurance, and research sectors — fostering a new, mutually beneficial digital health economy.
