Business Model

Phase 1

Fees: Cerebrum will charge a fee for scheduling jobs between Model Hosts (Cerebrum Nodes) and Customers:

• 0.2% from the fees collected from the Customer

• 0.2% from the fees collected from the Model Host (compute provider)

• Total: 0.4% from every job

Settlements:

• Payments settled in a USD equivalent (USTD, USDC, etc., depending on the chain we launch) will incur a fee of 1.5%.

• Payments made in our native $CBM token will be free of any fees.

Phase 2

Fees: Fees will increase to:

• 0.5% from the fees collected from the Customer

• 0.5% from the fees collected from the Model Host (compute provider)

• Total: 1% from every job

Settlements: The fees for settlements will remain the same as in the first phase.

Buybacks

• The 1.5% transaction fees collected from non-$CBM settlement channels (USD equivalents) will be used for $CBM token buybacks and will be completely burned. This strategy ensures that deflationary pressure is consistently applied.
