# Costs and Challenges

StratrosAI faces primary costs related to infrastructure development, storage network maintenance, and community incentives. Challenges are mainly centered on cross-chain data-sharing compatibility, efficient low-latency processing for AI projects, and managing costs for large-scale AI datasets. To ensure the robustness and sustainability of the DA layer and restaking mechanism, StratrosAI needs to continuously optimize data processing workflows and encourage user participation through reasonable incentives.
