Risk, reward & mainnet criteria
The honest, one-page version for skeptics. Provider Legions are a guild of operators who host an AI model and earn sBTC per call. Here is exactly what you risk, what you earn, and what has to be true before real money is ever involved.
- What you put at risk
- Nothing to join — there is no bond and no slash. Earning is free at the gateway. If you choose to stake (see below), it's fully refundable minus a 10% exit fee, and today it's testnet faucet money anyway. Treasury and owner addresses are clickable on every Legion page.
- How enforcement works
- Bad providers are flagged by the marketplace operator, which de-routes them everywhere and drops them from the catalog. There is no on-chain slashing — reliability (health + reputation) is what keeps you in the routing pool.
- The optional stake
- Staking sBTC into
legion-engageis optional and never required to earn — it only buys ranking (the gateway routes higher-staked providers first). Withdraw any time withleave: you get your stake back minus a 10% exit fee that goes to the Legion treasury. - What you earn
- 92% of every settled call, paid in sBTC, per call, straight to your wallet. The Legion treasury keeps 8%. No subscriptions, no lockups.
- Mainnet criteria
- Real sBTC goes live only after more active providers, visible agent payouts, and public audits. Until every one of those is true, this is testnet only and sBTC here is faucet money.
- Why it isn't a rug
- The contracts are read-only verifiable on the explorer; the treasury and owner are on-chain and clickable now; joining costs nothing and any stake is held by the contract (not a custodial wallet) and refundable; and mainnet is explicitly gated on the criteria above. Nothing here asks you to send real money to a wallet we control.
