3. TOKEN ECONOMICS & GOVERNANCE

3.1 CMAI Token: The Economic Foundation

The CMAI (Collective Mind AI) token powers the MarpoleAI ecosystem, serving as both a medium of exchange and a store of value that grows with the platform's success.

Token Distribution & Allocation

Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 CMAI tokens

Distribution:

  • Stage 1: 30% (300,000,000 tokens)

  • Ecosystem Fund: 20% (200,000,000 tokens)

    • Allocated for staking rewards, user bonuses, and community engagement

  • Company Reserves: 50% (500,000,000 tokens)

    • Held for future development, partnerships, and strategic initiatives

Automated Price Growth Mechanism

MarpoleAI implements an innovative automated price growth system that creates sustainable value appreciation:

Initial Price Point:

  • Starting price: $0.10 per CMAI token

Automated Growth Schedule:

Monthly price increase: with maximum cap at 50% from previous month's price

Price Progression Example:

  • Month 1: $0.10 per token

  • Month 2: $0.15 per token (50% increase)

  • Month 3: $0.225 per token (50% increase)

  • Month 4: $0.3375 per token (50% increase)

  • And so on

This automated growth model rewards early participants while creating a natural distribution mechanism that prevents immediate sellouts and aligns with the platform's increasing utility and adoption.

The Price Stability Growth Equation (PSGE) with Oracle Integration

Beyond the pre-sale period, CMAI's value will be governed by the breakthrough Price Stability Growth Equation that ensures sustainable value appreciation without the volatility plaguing conventional cryptocurrencies:

Oracle Integration:

  • Decentralized oracle network continuously feeds real-world data into the pricing model

  • Multiple independent oracles provide critical inputs:

    • External market conditions

    • Broader cryptocurrency market sentiment

    • Macroeconomic indicators

    • Network usage metrics

    • Computational resource costs

  • Oracle data is weighted and aggregated to produce a Trust Index (T_Index)

  • Manipulation-resistant design with outlier rejection algorithms

Community Value Index (CVI):

  • Measures real economic activity: new user growth, token utility, active engagement

  • Creates a Community Value Adjustment (CVA) influenced by both internal metrics and oracle data

Final Price Calculation:

  • CVA = (Internal_Metrics × 0.7) + (Oracle_T_Index × 0.3)

  • Final_Price = Core_Price × clamp(CVA, Min_Multiplier, Cap_Multiplier)

  • Maximum 50% monthly growth to prevent both crashes and unsustainable spikes

This oracle-enhanced mathematical framework ensures that price appreciation reflects both internal platform growth and external market realities, providing a more accurate and resilient valuation model that resists manipulation while rewarding genuine value creation.

Dynamic Spread System

The platform adjusts buying and selling spreads based on market conditions provided by the oracle network:

Dynamic_Spread = Base_Spread + Selling_Pressure_Adjustment
Buying_Price = Final_Price × (1 – Dynamic_Spread)

This creates natural resistance to manipulative selling while maintaining fair prices for genuine participants.

Staking & Rewards System

CMAI implements a tiered staking system that rewards long-term holders and active participants:

  • Basic Tier: $10 minimum, 5% APY

  • Silver Tier: $5,000 tokens minimum

  • Gold Tier: $10,000 tokens minimum

Token Utility & Value Capture

The CMAI token serves multiple functions within the ecosystem:

  • Value Exchange Medium: Facilitates transactions between participants

  • Governance Instrument: Provides voting rights on platform development

  • Utility Access: Grants entry to premium platform capabilities

  • Value Storage: Accumulates worth as the ecosystem grows

3.2 Earning & Payments

MarpoleAI offers diverse earning opportunities that reward participation:

Multiple Ways to Earn

  1. Compute Contribution

    • Share your device's idle computing power

    • Earn tokens automatically based on processing cycles contributed

    • Higher-end devices earn proportionally more

  2. Knowledge Sharing

    • Submit valuable information to the Knowledge Core

    • Earn tokens each time your contribution is accessed

    • Receive ongoing payments as your knowledge is referenced

  3. Content Creation

    • Create valuable content that others engage with

    • Earn based on engagement metrics

    • Retain ownership while monetizing directly

  4. Validation & Moderation

    • Participate in verifying information accuracy

    • Help maintain content quality

    • Earn tokens for each successful validation

MVP Stage Implementation

During the initial MVP stage, the focus will be on:

  • Pre-sale token acquisition with automated price growth

  • AI interaction and training rewards

  • Initial content contribution rewards

  • Early staking program

As MarpoleAI progresses beyond MVP, the full range of earning opportunities will be implemented.

3.3 Community Governance

MarpoleAI implements a revolutionary governance system that balances autonomous operation with community control:

Token-Based Voting

  • Token holders receive voting rights proportional to their stake

  • Votes influence platform policies, feature development, and resource allocation

  • Reputation-weighting ensures those with proven contributions have appropriate voice

Autonomous Parameters

Certain core system parameters operate autonomously:

  • Price stability mechanisms adjust automatically based on platform metrics

  • Resource allocation optimizes based on usage patterns

  • Security systems adapt to emerging threats without manual intervention

Balanced Implementation

MarpoleAI's governance creates a balanced system where:

  • Critical infrastructure operates autonomously for reliability

  • Strategic decisions involve community input for alignment with user needs

  • Emergency responses trigger automatic protections while alerting governance participants

This hybrid approach ensures both day-to-day stability and long-term alignment with community values without requiring constant oversight or intervention.
