FLOPs v6 Whitepaper: The DeAI Foundry & Index

Today we're releasing the FLOPs v6 Whitepaper—a comprehensive technical specification of our dual-track treasury model that grows protocol capacity while maximizing capital efficiency for participants.

Executive Summary

FLOPs is a dual-track treasury model for decentralized AI (DeAI) that grows protocol capacity while maximizing capital efficiency. Our system operates through two primary mechanisms:

Track A (cVault)

Delivers in-kind mined token exposure (NOUS/PRIME/GENSYN/PLURALIS/AMBIENT) with optional voluntary conversions to FLOPs via a Reward Router. Your deposits earn you direct protocol rewards—no forced selling.

Track B (FLOPs Program)

Converts deterministic stETH yield to FLOPs with a transparent bonus schedule (piecewise-linear at launch; supra-linear in Phase-2) for longer locks. Your principal is ring-fenced and never sold.

The Foundry (CAR)

Deploys $1M+/month in compute to earn DeAI rewards, retaining ~90% for a transparent multi-token Index Reserve and using ~10% for FLOPs buybacks. This creates a sustainable flywheel that grows the entire ecosystem.

The Math: Sustainable Yield Generation

At scaled baseline ($12M Track A capital and $1M/month CAR spend), the system produces approximately:

~$150K/month

FLOPs buy pressure

≈1.25M FLOPs at reference price

~$187K/month

Index Reserve growth

Diversified DeAI token NAV

Most importantly, protocol-initiated selling of mined tokens is <9% under baseline splits. We retain or stream in-kind approximately 90% of all mined assets, aligning long-term value with the ecosystem.

Four Independent Buy-Pressure Channels

The system creates diversified, sustainable buy pressure through four independent mechanisms:

Track A Fee Buybacks

A small platform fee on Track A rewards funds recurring FLOPs buybacks—bounded by governance and fully transparent.

Voluntary Router Conversions

Depositors choose to convert a portion of their protocol rewards to FLOPs. This is conviction-driven, not coerced.

CAR Buybacks

The Compute Activation Reserve deploys treasury funds for mining, using ~10% of rewards for buybacks while building the Index Reserve with the rest.

Track B Conversions

stETH yield is converted to FLOPs with time-based bonuses, using Internal Crossing Engine (ICE) to minimize market footprint.

Why This Matters

The FLOPs mechanism represents a fundamentally new approach to building exposure to decentralized AI:

For Builders: Get direct compute resources and ecosystem support without forced token sales or misaligned incentives.

For Depositors: Choose your level of exposure—receive protocol tokens in-kind or consolidate to FLOPs based on your conviction.

For Token Holders: Sustainable buy pressure from four independent channels, backed by a growing Index Reserve of DeAI protocol tokens.
