How does tea's token scheme monetize?

question 2 connections

Audience question about tea's monetization scheme, voiced by a skeptic of web3/NFTs: where does real money come from, beyond holding a bag of tokens? Donarski's answer: the tea team has said it will partly be up to the community to provide use cases; supply will be finite (like Ethereum, not infinite), and tradeability will depend on community adoption. In the worst case tea still produces a useful metric of how valuable each library is to the ecosystem — initially based on download counts, later incorporating runtime vs build-time dependencies and actual usage (similar to how AWS bills Lambda based on execution).

answer_summary
Unclear and community-driven; supply is finite like Ethereum; worst case tea still yields a usable library-value metric.
