MFP Lock

1. What is MFP and how is it calculated

MFP (Maximum Fair Price) is an internal quality score for every server on the Clore.ai network. The algorithm considers all key hardware characteristics: GPU model and count, PCI Express version and lane width, internet-link speed, CPU model, and many other metrics. The more powerful and stable the configuration, the higher the MFP. The current upper limit is 65.


2. Why MFP Lock is needed

A score alone is not enough-the network must see that the owner believes in the server and is willing to back its quality with coins. A host therefore locks CLORE in MFP Lock, confirming the server's MFP and unlocking access to a share of each block reward.

MFP Lock

Split equally: Tier 1 (10 %) and Tier 2 (10 %)

With a reward of 313 CLORE per block and 1 440 blocks per day, each basket (Tier 1 and Tier 2) receives 45 072 CLORE per day.


4. How much must be locked

Base rule: 1 MFP = 1 000 CLORE.

Stake range
Example at MFP = 20

Tier 1

≤ 100 % MFP

≤ 20 000 CLORE

Tier 2

100 - 500 % MFP

up to 80 000 CLORE more (total 100 000)

Tier 3

500 - 700 % MFP

up to 40 000 CLORE more (total 140 000)

Maximum total lock: MFP × 7 000 CLORE


5. Daily-reward formula and limits

For each basket k ∈ {T1, T2}:

Rent-price ceiling

A server cannot receive from each tier more than its daily rental price. For a rent of 300 CLORE / day the maximums are:

Source
Ceiling

MFP Lock Tier 1

300 CLORE

MFP Lock Tier 2

300 CLORE

Total from MFP Lock

600 CLORE / day

Together with rent, a server rented out for 300 CLORE can earn up to 900 CLORE per day.

Burning surplus

Anything above these limits is automatically sent to a burn wallet.


5.1 Extra fee reduction through MFP Lock

In addition to emission rewards, MFP Lock provides a powerful benefit for hosts: reduction of extra hoster fees on non-CLORE currency orders.

When renters pay with Bitcoin or other non-CLORE currencies, an extra hoster fee (e.g., 15%) is deducted from the host's earnings. By locking CLORE across all three tiers, hosts can reduce this extra fee to 0%.

How the reduction works

Each tier contributes proportionally to how full it is:

Tier
Max Reduction
Capacity

Tier 1

30%

MFP × 1 000 CLORE

Tier 2

30%

MFP × 4 000 CLORE

Tier 3

40%

MFP × 2 000 CLORE

Total

100%

MFP × 7 000 CLORE

Formula per tier:

Combined reduction:

The reductions are additive - when all three tiers are fully locked, the total reduction reaches 100%, eliminating the extra hoster fee entirely.

Example

Server with MFP = 20, Bitcoin order with 15% extra hoster fee:

Key insight: Even partially filling tiers provides proportional benefit. A host with just Tier 1 fully locked already saves 30% on extra fees.

What fees are NOT affected

  • Base marketplace fees (10% on-demand, 2.5% spot) - these are reduced by PoH, not MFP Lock

  • Renter extra fees - only hoster extra fees are reduced

  • CLORE currency orders - CLORE has 0% extra fee, so the reduction has no effect


6. The "Lock → Unlock" process

  • Lock - The host locks the desired amount; 24 h later the server starts receiving rewards.

  • Unlock (per-tier). Each tier has its own unlock period:

Tier
Unlock Period
What is returned

Tier 1

7 days

Full Tier 1 stake

Tier 2

14 days

Full Tier 2 stake

Tier 3

28 days

Full Tier 3 stake

When "Unlock All" is pressed, each tier's unlock timer starts simultaneously. The funds become available in stages:

  • Day 7 — Tier 1 stake returned

  • Day 14 — Tier 2 stake returned

  • Day 28 — Tier 3 stake returned

After each waiting period, the funds are automatically moved back to the system wallet.

Note: You can only unlock tiers that have passed their waiting period. For example, if you locked 10 days ago, you can unlock Tier 1 (7 days) but must wait for Tier 2 (14 days) and Tier 3 (28 days).

* T2 payouts are capped at 300 CLORE / day. † Total = (T1 payout + T2 payout + rent 300 CLORE).

Pool outcomes (45 072 CLORE / day each):

  • Tier 1: fully distributed - nothing burned.

  • Tier 2: 42 043.2 CLORE paid → 3 028.8 CLORE burned.

Even with 500 servers and strong competition, part of Tier 2 remains unclaimed and is burned daily, maintaining token scarcity and enhancing reward value.

Tier 3 reminder: Tier 3 does not earn emission rewards. Its benefit is the extra hoster fee reduction described in Section 5.1.


8. Dynamic MFP changes

If the server configuration changes (GPUs added/removed, CPU swapped, etc.), the score is recalculated:

  • MFP rises → any already-locked free coins automatically fill Tier 1 then Tier 2.

  • MFP falls → excess stake moves to unused lock balance. unused lock balance can be unlocked after 10 days.


9. Fund security

  • Two-factor authentication. Always enable 2-FA-it is the first and most important defense layer.

  • Cold & hot wallets. Most assets are stored offline; hot wallets hold only the operational minimum.

  • 2.5 years incident-free. The platform has never been hacked; in any force-majeure the company covers user losses.

  • Unlock timers. Even if an attacker initiates a withdrawal, the minimum 7-day period gives the owner time to react.


10. Why MFP Lock is profitable

  • Transparent economics. Higher hardware quality and higher stake mean a larger share of the pool—no hidden tricks.

  • Guaranteed break-even. A full Tier 1 covers the rental price; a filled Tier 2 doubles that bonus.

  • Extra fee elimination. A fully locked server (all 3 tiers) pays 0% extra hoster fee on non-CLORE orders—making BTC rentals as profitable as CLORE.

  • Clear ceiling. A server rented for 300 CLORE can earn up to 900 CLORE/day from emissions (T1 + T2 + rent).

  • Network self-regulation. Surplus rewards are burned, sustaining token scarcity and price stability.

  • Security. Per-tier unlock timers (7/14/28 days), 2-FA, and cold storage protect the stake even if an account is compromised.

MFP Lock is more than a "lock coins" button. It rewards investment in quality hardware, stabilises the network economy, and turns hosting on Clore.ai into a predictable, secure revenue stream.

Important information:

If you locked MFP and attempted self-renting (renting your own server from another account): • Both accounts are permanently banned. Unban is impossible. • All related GPUs (UUID) are blacklisted. • All funds on the account are blocked; no refunds will be issued.
