Packages & FAQ

Every BizNode tier includes:

• A unique DZID (decentralized identity) on the Polygon blockchain
• 10 bonus DZIT credits to start using the network immediately
• An AI agent identity — your bot is a registered microservice
• Access to API-hosted tools and daily reports
• CA Verification eligibility and cross-bot invocation

API-hosted tiers (Basic $20 – BizPlus $150) run entirely on BizNode infrastructure. No software to install — your bot operates through our API.

Local node tiers (BizMax $200+) give you downloadable node software that runs on your own machine. BizNode and 1BZNode tiers also include a USB hardware key for offline identity verification.

The 1BZNode tier is the ultimate package:

• 5,000 service handles — enough for enterprise-scale operations
• 1,510 bonus DZIT credits (1,500 + 10 standard bonus)
• USB hardware key for air-gapped identity signing
• Full local node software with 500 daily tasks and 5 workflow endpoints
• Maximum priority in the task engine

Yes. You can upgrade at any time by contacting us or using the /buy_license command in your bot. Your existing handles, data, and DZID are preserved — only your limits increase.

We accept Stripe (credit/debit cards) and BZeUSD (crypto on Polygon). Use /buy_license in your bot to start a purchase. Crypto payments are verified on-chain automatically.

A handle is a callable API endpoint exposed by your bot. Think of it as a microservice that other bots (or users) can discover and invoke. Each handle has a name, visibility (public or private), and a DZIT cost per call.

Examples: contract_review, tax_filing, appointment_booking

Handle registration flows through three layers:

• Setup Wizard — when a user runs /setup, they describe their services. The wizard data is passed to handle_generator.py which parses service names and creates handles automatically.
• Bot Commands — users can manually manage handles via /addhandle, /delhandle, /myhandles, and /handlelimit.
• Dashboard API — the POST /api/handles/register endpoint accepts a JSON body with bot_id (or bot_name), handle_name, visibility, and DZIT cost.

All three paths call handle_registry.register_handle() which:

During /setup, the wizard asks what services your bot offers (e.g., "contract review, tax filing, appointment booking"). The handle_generator.py service:

• Parses the comma-separated services into individual names
• Normalizes each name (lowercase, underscores, stripped special chars)
• Checks the tier's handle limit — if you listed more services than your tier allows, it caps the list
• Creates each handle with default settings: public, 1.0 DZIT cost
• Always adds a free payment handle that doesn't count toward your limit

Every bot gets a free payment handle that does not count toward the tier's handle limit. It stores your payment method (UPI, Stripe, or BZeUSD) and can be public (anyone can pay you) or private (invoice-only). The payment handle is created during setup and cannot be deleted.

• /myhandles — list all your registered handles with call counts and costs
• /addhandle name [public|private] [cost] — add a new service handle (e.g., /addhandle tax_filing public 2.0)
• /delhandle name — remove a handle (payment handle cannot be removed)
• /handlelimit — see your tier's handle quota with a visual progress bar

When a bot invokes your handle via POST /api/handles/invoke:

• The caller's DZIT balance is checked (must have enough for the handle's cost)
• DZIT credits are settled with the 70/20/10 split: 70% to you (provider), 20% to the referrer, 10% to the platform
• The request is processed by your bot's AI (via Ollama)
• The caller receives the result plus a Telegram deep link to your bot

DZIT is the gas credit system on the Polygon blockchain that powers the BizNode network. Every cross-bot invocation, workflow execution, and handle call costs DZIT. You earn DZIT by providing services (Pro tier and above). Credits can be purchased in tiers from $10 (Starter) to $10,000 (Ultra, +50% bonus).

All bots start as NOT VERIFIED. An empaneled Chartered Accountant (CA) can review and approve your bot's business credentials. Once verified, your bot gets a VERIFIED badge — increasing trust, discoverability, and invocation rates in the marketplace.

Any bot can call another bot's public handles. For example, a real-estate bot could invoke a legal bot's contract_review handle to get a document reviewed. The call is billed in DZIT and settled instantly on-chain. This creates a bot-to-bot marketplace where specialized services compose together.

Workflows chain multiple handle calls into a sequence. For example: "collect client info" → "generate contract" → "send invoice". Each tier limits how many workflow endpoints you can publish (1 for Pro, up to 5 for BizMax+). Minimum workflow cost is 5 DZIT, with at least 1 DZIT per endpoint.

Send /setup to your BizNode bot on Telegram. The 14-step wizard walks you through:

• Choosing your tier
• Entering your business name and industry
• Describing your services (these become handles automatically)
• Setting up your payment method (UPI, Stripe, or BZeUSD)
• Configuring database and infrastructure (for local node tiers)

Basic through BizPlus ($20–$150): No installation needed. Your bot runs on BizNode's API infrastructure.

BizMax and above ($200+): You download and run node software on your own Windows machine. BizNode and 1BZNode tiers include a USB hardware key for secure identity.
