The Tokenomics
The CETI token is the backbone of our decentralized AI ecosystem. It powers our infrastructure, incentivizes participants, and allows token holders to share in the revenue generated by our cutting-edge AI compute fabric.

Tax
The CETI token is the lifeblood of the CETI AI ecosystem, designed to fuel the growth of decentralized AI infrastructure and reward community participation. The CETI tokenomics are designed to fund the expansion of our infrastructure and the development of decentralized AI networks and applications and to accrue the value of economically useful compute to token holders in a sustainable way while supporting both the Network and the broader adoption of decentralized AI technologies.
Token Utility
Our tokenomics are designed to create a virtuous cycle of growth that powers the expansion of our infrastructure at a sustainable rate and support for decentralized AI. We start by capturing value from volatility in the form of taxes. This builds a treasury of tax reserves that are earmarked to be sold during times of market expansion.
This flywheel continues until there is no more economic value in expanding our infrastructure. The tax rate can be adjusted to ensure we never run out of taxes and can protect those in our revenue share system. If AI infrastructure is saturated then CETI has accomplished its mission.
Revenue Share System
The revenue share system is how profits after operation expenses are returned to token holders. Our goal here is to identify different avenues for engagement that the project needs and to drive that engagement by pairing a higher share of the revenue to the things the project needs more of. An example above is that we will need delegated capital for various DePIN networks to pair with our infrastructure before it can be brought online. There will be other qualifying criteria that will evolve over time according to the project needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tokenomics FAQ
To start with, as with anything in crypto, first slow down, double check the address, and be sure you know what you’re buying. Here is the official token address for CETI:
0x1bFCe574dEFf725A3f483C334b790E25c8FA9779
If you want to buy CETI our highest liquidity pair is CETI/wTAO on Uniswap v2. You can see the trade history and execute a trade on dextools.
If you don’t have wTAO to buy with, we suggest first trading for wTAO using USDC or ETH. wTAO is just TAO bridged to Ethereum and wrapped in an ERC-20 interface. If you try to trade ETH directly the Uniswap router may try to use the highly illiquid and not supported CETI/ETH pair.
Furthermore, we don’t suggest using the official Uniswap frontend for this because that incurs an additional and completely avoidable fee. It will work of course, but we want you to get as much CETI as you can for what you spend.
The purpose of the ceτi AI project is to acquire hardware and plug it into decentralized physical infrastructure projects (DePin). To source the capital for that hardware we have two options. We could either take a share of the revenue or we could sell tokens. We’ve already promised 100% of the net revenue to CETI holders; so token sales are our only option. Where do we sustainably get the tokens to sell? We could either use inflation, or we can sell tax reserves. Inflation is a tax paid by everyone via debasement. Taxes are more strategic. They extract value from arbitrage bots and people chasing token appreciation on short time horizons and remove the burden of inflation from people here for the long term. Therefore, taxes are the most ethical and value aligned option available to us to fund the purchase of hardware. They aren’t going away until we find a better solution to sustainably source tokens.

There are two common reasons people ask this. First, they are being routed through the ETH/CETI pair which is highly illiquid. Second, the tax directly affects the minAmountOut parameter for your trade and this is being perceived as slippage when it really isn’t.
Any CEX adoption will be unofficial at best and undermine the ceτi AI project at worst. CEX transactions happen off chain and therefore don’t execute the tax logic in our smart contract. We are not interested in pursuing CEX listings. This token may not be the easiest to buy but we would rather maximize mission alignment for our holders than ease of access. Ultimately, people should come for the mission and for the APR. People buying CETI on a CEX would be participating in neither; they are just speculating.

Most tokens that do airdrops have working products they are distributing some kind of control over (governance tokens). CETI is not a governance token and until the pilot hardware had no functional product. We needed to launch the token to gather mission-aligned holders who wanted to contribute to decentralizing AI. If that sounds like you, you can contribute to the cause by buying CETI and joining the revenue share program when it’s launched.
100% of net revenue earned from the ceτi AI project will eventually go to the revenue share system. The CETI token will be required to participate in this system. Participants in the revenue share system will also be providing any DePin collateral the ceτi AI project needs to deploy hardware to our DePin partners. Details will be provided soon in the whitepaper.
You cannot currently stake CETI. Design and development of the revenue share system is ongoing. Design and participation details will be provided soon in the whitepaper.

The intelligent compute fabric is analogous to DEX Aggregators like Matcha, 1inch, or Cowswap or Yield Aggregators like Yearn, Harvest, or Beefy. We will empirically measure the returns of deploying hardware to various DePin partners and dynamically reallocate hardware to optimize our returns. Longer term we will open up our intelligent compute fabric to add capacity for external hardware providers to add their compute to the resources our intelligent compute fabric will manage.

Our unique tokenomic flywheel design guarantees a certain ratio of operational capital to market cap. Since operational capital generates revenue, the yield should remain competitive at any market cap. Therefore CETI can only be overpriced if ceτi AI project has successfully saturated DePin demand for enterprise grade hardware. This is discussed more in our litepaper. Give it a read!
To understand the scale and ambition of this project consider what the competition is doing today. Tech oligarchs have already invested hundreds of billions of dollars into enterprise grade hardware such as CETI is acquiring just to support the current demand for AI. We expect this demand to continue to expand exponentially in the coming years and for DePin compute demand to rival that. Projecting current trends, compute saturation won’t occur until there is hundreds of billions of dollars of operational capital in DePin and a PE multiple of that in market cap of infrastructure providers such as the ceτi AI project. This is one of the few trillion dollar opportunities in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
While we are steadily designing and developing the various systems that the whitepaper will document, our current priority is getting our pilot launch infrastructure up and running. Add several dedicated weeks of document review on top of our mining estimates for a whitepaper release estimate.
Liquidity is not locked because CETI operates with a transparent and community-driven approach, utilizing multisig wallets to ensure security and accountability. Instead of locking liquidity, we focus on building trust through responsible management of funds and operations. This approach allows flexibility in scaling our infrastructure and addressing future needs without being constrained by locked liquidity.
