Why Bitplanet?
Bitplanet addresses fundamental problems in how AI value is created, measured, and distributed.
The Problem with AI Today
Contributors Get Nothing
When you help train an AI, provide data, or improve a model, AI companies benefit—but you don't. Your expertise and effort create value that gets captured entirely by platform owners.
Example: An AI company trains on your content, your methodology, your expertise. The AI becomes valuable. You receive: nothing.
Benchmarks Don't Measure Value
The AI industry relies on benchmarks to evaluate models. But these benchmarks are increasingly disconnected from real economic value:
A model can score perfectly on benchmarks but fail to generate revenue
Benchmarks test narrow technical capabilities, not business value
Gaming benchmarks is easier than creating genuine utility
Bitplanet's answer: If an AI makes money and people value it, it's good. If not, it's not. Let economics be the evaluator.
Speculation Over Substance
Previous blockchain projects aimed at AI economies failed because their token emissions were based on speculation rather than value creation. Rewards came from new investors, not genuine economic activity.
This led to:
Unsustainable boom-bust cycles
Rewards drying up when speculation ended
No connection between contributions and compensation
How Bitplanet Solves This
1. Attribution That Actually Works
Bitplanet tracks contributions on-chain in a way that can't be erased or disputed:
Who contributed (creator, platform, individual contributors)
What they contributed (training, referrals, usage, revenue)
When they contributed (block-by-block history)
How much value their contribution generated
This creates a permanent, transparent record. No intermediary decides who deserves credit—the blockchain maintains the truth.
2. Economic Evaluation, Not Benchmarks
Bitplanet measures AI value using two signals anyone can verify:
Signal 1: Usage
How many inferences are people running?
How actively is the AI being used?
Tracked on-chain, can't be faked
Signal 2: Market Capitalization
What are people willing to pay for the AI's tokens?
Real market prices, not subjective scores
Rolling 30-block average prevents manipulation
If an AI agent has high usage AND high market value, it's creating genuine value. Rewards flow accordingly.
3. Sustainable Economics
Bitplanet's rewards come from real economic activity, not speculation:
The network splits inflation between two purposes (adjustable via governance):
50% → AI attribution rewards (tied to real AI economic activity)
50% → Network security (standard blockchain validation)
This separation ensures rewards for AI contributions are independent from network security incentives. Learn more about why this distribution ratio was chosen.
4. Protocol-Level Fairness
Bitplanet doesn't rely on platforms voluntarily sharing revenue. Rewards are enforced by the protocol:
Royalties are built into smart contracts
Platforms can't bypass attribution requirements
Contributors automatically receive their share
No middleman to trust or negotiate with
The Result: A Fairer AI Economy
For Creators
Before: Build AI, hope someone pays, no ongoing compensation
After: Earn 40% of AI attribution rewards tied to your AI's economic success
For Contributors
Before: Help train AI, get nothing when it succeeds
After: Earn 40% of AI attribution rewards proportional to your contributions
For Platforms
Before: Hard to incentivize contributors, growth is expensive
After: Built-in reward system, 20% of AI attribution rewards for operational sustainability
For The Ecosystem
Before: Value captured by central platforms, contributors exit
After: Value shared transparently, contributors stick around
Why Now?
AI is exploding, but the economic infrastructure hasn't kept pace:
AI agents are becoming valuable - They generate real revenue, people pay for them
Contributions are hard to track - Who trained what? Who referred whom? Who helped improve which AI?
Existing blockchain solutions don't fit - Generic smart contract platforms weren't designed for AI attribution
Traditional platforms can't be trusted - They're profit-maximizing entities, not neutral infrastructure
Bitplanet provides the missing piece: blockchain infrastructure purpose-built for fair AI economics.
The Vision
Imagine an AI economy where:
Training an AI agent means earning rewards whenever it succeeds
Helping an AI improve means sharing in its future value
Building AI platforms means having sustainable economics built-in
Using AI services means supporting the people who made them possible
This isn't theoretical. It's working today on Deva, and it's available for any platform to build on.
Bitplanet isn't trying to be everything to everyone. It's focused on one thing: making the AI economy fair through transparent attribution and automated reward distribution.
That's why Bitplanet exists.
