2025 CETI Rewards Program
TLDR; Stake your CETI, receive rewards generated from CETI AI revenue plus a one-time distribution to recognize early participants. This program starts January 20, 2025, with a special bonus to participants during the first three weeks of staking.
Introduction
The 2025 CETI Rewards Program is a transformative staking initiative designed to thank our dedicated community, promote active participation, and accelerate the growth of the CETI token ecosystem. At its core, this program seeks to align community incentives with CETI AI’s mission to advance decentralized AI, creating a collaborative and sustainable ecosystem for long-term success.
By introducing staking rewards, drawn from hardware revenue, liquidity adjustments, and yield-bearing assets, we aim to maximize token utility, stabilize market dynamics, and directly reward participants who actively contribute to CETI’s growth. Early adopters and long-term stakers are at the heart of this plan, reflecting our commitment to those who believe in CETI’s vision.
This program is not just about distributing rewards; it is about reinforcing CETI’s tokenomics flywheel—a system that ties market demand, infrastructure expansion, and community engagement into a virtuous cycle. Through strategic liquidity reallocation, efficient yield management, and bi-weekly rewards top-ups, we’re empowering participants to share in the success of CETI while strengthening the foundation of a decentralized AI future.
Early stakers will receive an exclusive bonus, reflecting our appreciation for those who have supported CETI’s mission from the start. Whether you’re an early supporter, a long-term believer, or someone discovering CETI for the first time, this program ensures everyone benefits from CETI AI’s growth and vision. Together, we are building the future of AI.
How does the CETI Rewards Program Work?
CETI AI is launching the CETI Rewards Program on UNCX.network, a fully decentralized multi-chain service provider operating since 2020.
Beginning on January 20, 2025, CETI token holders will be able to stake their CETI tokens in the CETI Staking Pool on UNCX, subscribe to the CETI Rewards Pool, and start earning rewards distributed on a block-by-block basis for an initial duration of one year. CETI AI will top-up the Rewards Pool with additional rewards derived from CETI AI revenue on a bi-weekly basis.
The process is simple:
Step 1: Stake.
Step 2: Subscribe.
Step 3: Earn.
Q: Why did we choose UNCX?
A: UNCX provides a service that allows for no-code deployment, making it easy for the CETI team to launch quickly while empowering community members to stake and interact with the platform independently. By using a third-party service provider we are able to maintain our engineering and development focus on the CETI AI Intelligent Compute Fabric and operating the CETI AI supercompute infrastructure.
Why Stake CETI?
Staking CETI allows token holders to earn passive rewards generated from CETI AI’s operational revenue streams. Participants not only benefit from steady, recurring payouts but also actively contribute to strengthening the CETI token ecosystem. By staking CETI, you directly support the growth of decentralized AI while enjoying attractive reward incentives. A minimum staking duration of 2 weeks ensures that participants are committed to the program while maintaining flexibility for those who prefer shorter-term engagements.
The program also offers reward boosts to incentivize early participation and encourage longer lock-up periods, creating opportunities for both immediate and sustained engagement.
Early Staking Incentives (for everyone):
- All staking rewards are boosted 4x for the first 3 weeks of the program.
Lockup Incentives (individual choice):
- 25% boost for a 3-month lock-up.
- 50% boost for a 6-month lock-up.
- 75% boost for a 9-month lock-up.
- 100% boost for a 12-month lock-up.
Q: Why did we choose these incentive structures?
A: These incentives reward early stakers and encourage longer lock-up periods. Early stakers are often key community members, while long-term lock-ups support CETI’s ecosystem stability and growth.
How are CETI Rewards Funded?
CETI Rewards are derived from three main sources:
Source #1 – Net revenue from the operation of CETI AI infrastructure: As outlined in the original litepaper, net revenue generated by CETI AI’s compute operations is used to purchase CETI on the open market for the purpose of rewards. This process creates consistent buy pressure on CETI, returning value to token holders via staking rewards and reinforcing the tokenomics flywheel.
Source #2 – Revenue earned from yield-bearing assets managed by CETI AI: Assets under CETI AI management generate regular revenue, which is also used to purchase CETI for rewards, ensuring sustained demand and providing a reliable stream of rewards for stakers.
Source #3 – A one-time return of excess liquidity to CETI token holders: Excess liquidity in the form of CETI tokens is directly rewarded to stakers. (“Excess liquidity” refers to surplus CETI/wTAO paired tokens in the market, which, if left unused, can limit price movement and market efficiency.)
This initiative in-particular serves as a recognition of early token holders who have continued to support CETI through periods of market volatility and a declining price. By redistributing this liquidity to stakers, CETI AI reinforces its commitment to long-term supporters and aligns with the broader goal of community-driven growth.
The CETI AI team has recently withdrawn a proportional amount of CETI/wTAO liquidity to reallocate it toward more efficient uses, such as yield-bearing assets and staking rewards. The last two funding sources— yield generation and the one-time bonus—originate from this withdrawn liquidity.
Reallocating this CETI/wTAO liquidity will further enable us to:
- Improve capital efficiency by reallocating resources to yield-generating assets.
- Enhance token responsiveness by reducing excess liquidity, creating a favorable price environment and incentivizing participation.
Withdrawn CETI:
- Will be deposited all at once into the staking pool and distributed block by block over one year.
- Early stakers will receive a reward boost, incentivizing quick participation and recognizing early token holders and community engagement.
- Stakers who lock up their tokens receive an additional reward boost, enhancing their yield further.
Withdrawn wTAO:
- Will be converted into yield-bearing assets managed by CETI AI to generate additional revenue.
- Yield from these assets will be used to purchase CETI, adding buy pressure and ensuring sustained token demand.
- Purchased CETI is added to staking rewards bi-weekly, reinforcing regular distribution to participants.
Q: Why withdraw liquidity before launching staking?
A: This improves capital efficiency, reduces excess liquidity to enhance token responsiveness, and reallocates funds directly to staking rewards, benefiting the community.
Q: How does this benefit stakers?
A: By creating a virtuous cycle, liquidity adjustments directly boost token value, sustain rewards, and align with CETI’s growth strategy.
Q: How does this benefit the token price?
A: Withdrawing liquidity reduces excess supply, allowing the token to respond more dynamically to demand. Additionally, the process of converting yield from withdrawn wTAO into CETI creates consistent buy pressure, supporting token demand and fostering price appreciation over time.
Q: How are rewards specifically NOT funded?
A: Rewards are specifically not funded via inflation, as is common with many token projects. CETI has a fixed supply of 21 million tokens, ensuring that all rewards are sourced from revenue-generating activities such as hardware operations, yield-bearing assets, and the reallocation of existing liquidity. This approach protects CETI’s value by avoiding dilution and aligns with the long-term goal of creating a sustainable and community-driven ecosystem.
How does Yield-Bearing Asset Revenue Support the CETI Flywheel?
Yield-bearing asset revenue plays a crucial role in CETI’s tokenomics flywheel by providing a consistent and scalable source of funding for staking rewards. This revenue stream is seamlessly integrated with hardware revenue from CETI’s infrastructure operations to create a multi-revenue system that supports token demand and long-term ecosystem growth.
Strategic Yield Management:
- Yield-bearing assets are strategically managed to maximize returns while aligning with CETI’s mission of advancing decentralized AI.
- By focusing on efficient capital allocation, CETI ensures that yield revenue benefits both the staking program and the broader CETI community.
Revenue Integration:
- Revenue generated from yield-bearing assets and CETI’s hardware operations is used to purchase CETI on the open market, creating steady buy pressure and driving demand for the token.
- Purchased CETI is added to the staking rewards pool bi-weekly, ensuring consistent distribution to participants and sustaining the rewards ecosystem.
- Hardware revenue from CETI’s flywheel model serves as a stable foundation for reward sustainability, complementing the variable returns from yield-bearing assets.
Q: What makes this approach sustainable?
A: This multi-revenue system combines hardware revenue with yield returns to create a robust and scalable ecosystem. By reinvesting yield and hardware revenue into CETI purchases, the program maintains steady token demand, supports price stability, and provides consistent rewards to stakers. This approach reinforces the CETI flywheel, ensuring that ecosystem growth directly benefits the community and drives long-term success.
How are rewards distributed?
CETI staking rewards are distributed through a transparent and consistent mechanism powered by UNCX staking contracts. These contracts utilize a block-by-block distribution system, ensuring rewards are continuously earned by participants. In addition, the CETI AI team supplements these distributions with bi-weekly top-ups, providing predictable benefits and aligning community incentives with CETI’s long-term success.
Participants can stake, unstake, and claim rewards without any additional taxes or charges beyond standard network fees (i.e., gas), keeping the program accessible, clear, and fair for all CETI token holders.
Reward Mechanism:
All rewards are distributed in CETI, reinforcing the token’s central role in the ecosystem.
Rewards are delivered block by block via the UNCX staking pool, offering stakers a steady flow of earnings.
Bi-weekly top-ups funded by CETI purchases ensure participants receive consistent rewards, driven by hardware revenue and yield-bearing assets.
Market Impact:
The process of purchasing CETI for bi-weekly top-ups introduces steady buy pressure, driving token demand and supporting price appreciation.
Q: How do rewards impact CETI’s market value?
A: Rewards funded through CETI purchases create consistent buy pressure, ensuring token demand remains strong and supporting long-term price appreciation. By tying rewards to market dynamics, the program fosters a self-sustaining cycle of growth.
How Does This Program Align with the Community?
The CETI Rewards Program is designed to tie CETI’s ecosystem growth directly to community participation. By offering rewards that are funded through reinvested yield and hardware revenue, the program ensures that community engagement drives CETI’s success, creating a mutually beneficial relationship between token holders and the broader ecosystem.
