The new AI Data Economy

CLONES business model differs from traditional platforms through threshold-gated tokenization — enabling dataset creators to set access requirements where commercial IP cost scales with market demand, creating liquid speculation on AI training data value.

The Innovation: Instead of selling static datasets with fixed pricing ceilings, we create burn-to-download token markets that break traditional asset valuation limits. Our mechanism enables datasets to transcend their inherent fixed value through tokenization, creating unlimited upside potential until market forces establish natural price stabilization.

This creates a self-sustaining ecosystem where dataset value can appreciate beyond traditional asset constraints through market-driven scarcity and enterprise adoption.


Farmers Revenue Model

Role: Contribute demonstrations that power AI training data creation

📊 Payout Formula

Farmer Reward = (T × Q) × (1 - 0.10)
Where T = Task Value, Q = Quality Score %

Mathematical Breakdown

  • The 10% is the platform fee deducted from the quality-adjusted reward

  • Example: T = $1.00, Q = 90% → Gross reward = $0.90 → Net farmer payout = $0.81 → Platform fee = $0.09

Critical Rules

  • Only high-quality submissions (Q > 50%) are rewarded

  • Platform fees are only applied to approved tasks


Factory Creator Revenue Model

Role: Fund demonstration pools & tokenize AI training datasets

Cost Structure

Mathematical Reality

  • No direct fees taken from Factory Creators

  • 100% of funding goes into the reward pool

  • 10% of each payout to farmers extracted as platform fee indirectly

Indirect Fee Calculation

Factory Creator Earnings

  • Volume Fees — Earn 0.25% from all trading activity on your dataset tokens

  • Creator Token Allocation — Receive tokens equal to your burn-to-download threshold amount

  • Meta-Dataset Allocations — Priority token allocations when your data is included in premium bundles


Ambassadors Revenue Model

Role: Grow the ecosystem by referring new Factory Creators and Farmers

Commission Formulas

Tier Structure

  • Tier 1: 0.1% supply held → 1% commission rate from transaction value

  • Tier 5: 0.5% supply held → 5% commission rate from transaction value

Referral Scope

Referral commissions apply ONLY to:

  • Farmer Earnings — Commission on task rewards from referred farmers

  • Factory Funding — Commission on funding volumes from referred creators

Complete Mathematical Example

KEY INSIGHT: At maximum referral efficiency, protocol keeps ZERO platform fees from task rewards.


Dataset Tokenization Model

Role: On-chain exchange for dataset tokens and IP access

Launch Mechanics

Volume Fee Structure


Meta-Dataset Allocation Model

Role: Premium bundles with private token allocations

Private Contribution System (1B Token Supply)

Dynamic Allocation: Unused allocations automatically flow to liquidity pool, ensuring market functionality. Wallet Limit : Stakers, dataset creators, ip holders are capped by burn to download threshold amount.

Launch Mechanics:

  • No Public Bonding Curve — Skip speculation phase

  • 48-Hour Private Round — Exclusive contribution window

  • Direct Uniswap V3 Deployment — Immediate trading with deep liquidity

  • Fixed Contribution Price — Based on floor price of included datasets


The Result

It's not about having a community — the community IS the business model.

CLONES creates a decentralized economy where every participant captures value proportional to their contribution. The business model distributes success rather than extracting it, creating sustainable growth through aligned incentives and transparent, on-chain value distribution.

We're not just building a platform — we're creating the first economy where human expertise becomes liquid, tradeable, and automatically rewarded.
