# How Perspective Works

Perspective is built as a **three-layer system**:

***

### 1. Aggregation Layer (Access)

Users get unified access to:

* Foundation models
* Open-source models
* Consumer AI agents
* AI-powered apps

All through **one interface**.

No switching platforms. No locked ecosystems.

***

### 2. Agent & App Layer (Creation)

Creators can:

* Launch AI agents
* Build AI-powered consumer apps
* Tokenize their work
* Monetize through real usage

No approvals. No gatekeepers.

***

### 3. On-Chain Market Layer (Incentives)

Every model, agent, and app:

* Is tokenized
* Accrues value through usage
* Competes for emissions
* Pays creators automatically

This creates a **financial market for AI performance**.
