1. Mission and scope

Membria CE is building a decentralized, permanent knowledge base for small language models. The token model aligns knowledge creation, validation, and reuse with network incentives.

2. Participants

  • Users / knowledge creators: initiate DoD requests and consume verified knowledge.
  • Gateways: validate, process, cache, and commit knowledge to the network.
  • Validators: secure the Peaq chain and participate in consensus.

3. Token overview

Two assets are used:
  1. $ACTI (core token): deflationary utility token used for staking, governance, and rewards. Tradable.
  2. $kCREDIT (knowledge credit): non-transferable credit used for bootstrap programs. Not tradable.

4. DoD pricing (dynamic)

  • Target price: $0.10 per DoD request.
  • Conversion: Fee_in_ACTI = $0.10 / Current_ACTI_Price.
  • Price stability:
    • 24h TWAP from oracles.
    • Ceiling: $0.15.
    • Floor: $0.05.

5. Fee distribution (v2.0)

100% DoD payment
- 25% burn
- 60% gateway operator commission
- 10% consensus quorum rewards
- 5% ecosystem fund
Team-owned gateways do not receive commissions; their share is redistributed to independent operators.

6. Network accumulation effect

As KCG grows, cache hit rate increases (target 85%), so the average user cost trends downward even though DoD price remains fixed.

7. Deflation model

  • Primary burn: 25% of every DoD payment.
  • Secondary burn: slashing penalties for malicious gateways.
Illustrative burn at scale:
  • 10,000 users: ~675,000/year, 16.9Mtokens/yearat675,000/year, ~16.9M tokens/year at 0.04 (3.4% supply).
  • 50,000 users: ~3.375M/year, 84Mtokens/yearat3.375M/year, ~84M tokens/year at 0.04 (16.8% supply).
Supply dynamics:
  • Phase 1 (0-24 months): vesting creates moderate inflation, burn offsets part of it.
  • Phase 2 (24+ months): deflation as vesting ends and burn continues.

9.2 Anti-sybil for gateways

  1. KYC/KYB + infra audit + 30-day testnet uptime.
  2. DAO vote (66% approval).
  3. 90-day probation with reduced rewards and slashing risk.
  4. Full operator status after probation.

9.3 Consensus integrity

Quorum of 5 gateways:
  • 2 random independent gateways
  • 2 team gateways
  • 1 elder gateway (top-3 by reputation)
Approval: 4/5 votes or both team + 1 independent + 1 elder. Reputation weights:
  • Uptime: 30%
  • Validation accuracy: 40%
  • Response latency: 15%
  • Challenges won: 15%

9.4 Knowledge challenge system

  • Challenger stakes $500 ACTI.
  • 9-gateway quorum re-validates.
  • If challenger correct: receives 1,000,originalquorumslashed1,000, original quorum slashed 5K each.
  • If incorrect: stake forfeited.
