# Market Cap (V1)
Dobprotocol operates in infrastructure finance — a massive market that's historically inaccessible to most capital providers. We use the TAM / SAM / SOM framework to show realistic growth potential, not wishful projections.
**Our approach:**
* We size markets based on **annual CAPEX** (capital expenditures for building/upgrading infrastructure)
* We focus on **short-cycle projects** (12–36 months) with verifiable performance
* We target **niche/medium infrastructure** where validation creates real differentiation
This keeps our projections grounded in what we can actually intermediate and earn fees from.
### Year 1: Proving the Model
#### The Opportunity
* **TAM:** $1.3T — Global annual CAPEX in physical infrastructure
* **SAM:** $18B — Short-cycle infrastructure spend in Chile and Perú
* **SOM:** $15M — Target routed CAPEX (\~$300K in fees at 1.5%)
#### What This Means
Year 1 is about **validation, not scale**. We focus on Chile and Perú — markets with strong renewable energy, mining, and data center activity. Our target is to route $15M in infrastructure financing while proving that machine validation creates fundable opportunities.
**Fee model:** 1.5% blended rate on routed capital = \~$300K in year 1 revenue.
### Year 2-3: Scaling Across LATAM
#### The Expansion
* **TAM:** $1.6T — Growing global infrastructure demand
* **SAM:** $28B — Expanded coverage to Chile, Perú, and Brasil
* **SOM:** $150M — Target routed CAPEX (\~$3M in fees)
By year 3, we expand into Brasil — the largest infrastructure market in LATAM — and scale our operator network. The target is $150M in routed capital, generating \~$3M in fees.
This represents **10x growth from year 1**, driven by:
* Proven validation methodology
* Established institutional investor relationships
* Geographic expansion with demonstrated product-market fit
### Long-Term Potential
**For context on scalability:**
If Dobprotocol eventually intermediated just 1% of the addressable TAM (\~$13B/year routed), that would generate **$130–200M/year in fees**.
At 2% penetration: **$270–400M/year in fees**.
These are long-run possibilities. Our near-term plan deliberately focuses on the short-cycle, niche infrastructure segment where we can establish defensible validation as a competitive moat.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://dobprotocol-wiki.gitbook.io/dobprotocol-wiki/wiki-v1/market-cap.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
