Business Model
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
Factory Funding = 100% → Reward Pool
Platform Revenue = Σ(Individual Farmer Fees)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
If Factory funds amount F, and all tasks executed:
Total Platform Fees ≈ F × 0.10 (assuming average quality)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
Referral_Factory = FactoryFunding × ReferralRate
Referral_Farmer = FarmerEarnings × ReferralRateTier 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
Task: $0.20, Quality: 90%, Tier 5 Ambassador (both sides)
Quality-adjusted payout: $0.20 × 90% = $0.18
Platform fee: $0.18 × 10% = $0.018
Farmer receives: $0.18 - $0.018 = $0.162
Ambassador commissions (taken from platform fee):
├── Farmer Ambassador: $0.018 × 50% = $0.009
├── Factory Ambassador: $0.018 × 50% = $0.009
Protocol keeps: $0.018 - $0.009 - $0.009 = $0.00KEY 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
Launch Fee = $CLONES (burned) + $ETH (liquidity)
Creator sets burn-to-download threshold %
Dataset Token = Bonding Curve Launch → Graduation → Deployed Uni-V3 + Burn liquidity
Creator allocation = burn-to-download threshold %Volume Fee Structure
Volume Fee = TradingActivity × 1%
├── Creator Share = Volume × 0.25%
└── Protocol Operations = Volume × 0.75%Meta-Dataset Allocation Model
Role: Premium bundles with private token allocations
Private Contribution System (1B Token Supply)
Liquidity Pool — 50% allocation (500M tokens) for trading and functionality
$CLONES Stakers — 25% allocation (250M tokens) via private contribution
Dataset Creators — 20% allocation (200M tokens) via airdrop
Burn-to-Download IP Holders — 5% allocation (50M tokens) via airdropDynamic 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.
