Our Cooperative Model
Why Cooperative?
We believe value should flow to the people who train, support, and believe in the models. The VC extraction model concentrates returns. Our cooperative model distributes them. The Mondragon precedent proves this works at scale — 70,500 workers, €11B revenue, 97% survival rate over 30 years.

Revenue Distribution
Our 3-layer revenue distribution model ensures fair allocation across all stakeholders:
- Infrastructure Layer: Network maintenance, node rewards, protocol development
- Commons Layer: Treasury accumulation for future fund cycles, community resources
- Member Layer: Direct distributions proportional to contribution, governed by Shapley value calculations
