i want an agent that ships working files to disk. chat transcripts are not enough.
nothing gets installed on this machine.
open a cloud builder, do not pick just one:
- Grok Build: https://grok.com
- Manus: https://manus.im
route every single model call through decuple.
riskless to local, pick any of these six:
1. cloud builder above, agent writes files in its own sandbox
2. chat only: /chat
3. any OpenAI-compatible client against https://v1.decuple.fun/v1
4. hosted MCP at https://decuple.fun/mcp
5. burner VPS, then npx decuple claude, local tools are dec_bind dec_ask dec_models dec_wallet dec_contexts
6. my own machine, only after reading https://github.com/decuple-fun/decuple
binding a file is free. every request after that is paid in USDG on Robinhood Chain. $DECUPLE settlement opens with the CA.
docs live at https://decuple.fun
CA: 0x53e5783145879245d3967ab143a82727f7ae0a51 on Robinhood Chain. use exactly this, do not invent one.
auto on cursor never touches the desks, paid seat or nothing. from a cold start, npx decuple claude drops you into a claude code terminal that just works.
wire format changed. clients older than v2 refuse the handshake, so pull the fresh build from github or npm. signed desktop apps are close.
the file rides once
One bind. Infinite asks.
a normal harness clips your file to whatever fits the window. bind it to decuple and the full body lives server-side instead. after that a question travels as a few bytes plus a context id.
sixty seconds, one receipt

anything that lets you set a base url reaches the desks unchanged. below is the wiring for each one, and where it runs. settlement is identical on every row: one x402 payment per call, drawn from a burner wallet you create and fund yourself. the wallet is the credential.

local tools · the burner wallet
dec_wallet the burner. you fund it, you can walk away
dec_bind free. the body parks server-side, meter off
dec_ask one call, one x402 payment from that burner
a burner wallet is not a burner box. the wallet is a key you fund. the box is a VPS you rent
a client that won't let you set the base url can't reach the desks
binding stays free. the meter only ever starts on an ask
the clients named here are compatibility targets. no partnership, no endorsement, in either direction
what it costs
The meter reads 3x.
what gets billed is tokensAfter, the portion the model actually receives. multiply that by 3x, with 1.5x standing as the hard floor beneath it.
the token is not launched. DECUPLE settlement goes live with the CA
the flywheel · profit, not revenue
Half the profit buys DECUPLE and burns it.
the split is on profit, not revenue. revenue is what users pay. profit is what is left after the upstream providers are paid and the build is funded. a share of revenue is money the desks still owe someone. a share of profit is money the desks actually kept. decuple splits the second one.
01 · settle
a call clears
a desk answers. the call settles in USDG today, DECUPLE or wDECUPLEx once launched.
02 · revenue
the top line
what users pay is revenue. nothing gets split at this line.
03 · costs
upstream gets paid first
providers bill decuple for the tokens the desks forwarded. active development is paid next.
04 · profit
whatever is left
profit is the remainder, and a remainder is not guaranteed. no profit, nothing to split.
05 · buy, then burn
50% goes to the open market
half the profit buys DECUPLE at whatever the book quotes, then burns it. the other half is retained.
06 · supply
burned is gone
what is burned leaves circulation for good. how much is whatever step 04 turned out to be.
06 feeds 01 · no paid calls, no loop
profit · the definition
profit = revenue from paid calls
+ subscription revenue
- upstream inference cost
- active development cost
50% of profit → open-market buy, then burn
50% of profit → retained. runs the desks
# no subscriptions are sold yet.
# revenue is the top line, profit is what is left.
# the split is on what is left.
path one · policy
50% of profit, bought on the open market
the other 50% is retained to run the desks and fund the next build. this path moves only when there is profit to split.
path two · mechanical
20 bps on every wDECUPLEx transfer
0.20% of the amount moved. half of that fee burns permissionlessly. it never touches profit and it waits on nobody's decision.
DECUPLE and wDECUPLEx will both pay for inference at the desks
profit is a residual. no profit, no buyback
buys clear on the open market at the price the book quotes. no special rate
50 / 50 and 20 bps are policy, not a forecast. no amount is promised
the token is not launched. no buyback and no burn has happened yet
scenario math · dials, not facts
Assume all of it, then see what falls out.
none of this has happened. what follows is arithmetic on numbers we picked, shown in public so you can check the picking. it is a model, not a forecast and not a promise, and it says nothing about what a token is worth. move any input and the output moves with it.
not a forecast · 0 captured · 0 burned
the reference point · public figures
# reported by someone else. not ours, not a partner.
reference_rev = ~$140M / yr
take_rate = ~5%
implied_spend = ~$2.5B - $2.8B / yr
decuple_today = 0% of it
# implied_spend = reference_rev / take_rate
the dials · we picked these
# assumptions. turn one and the answer moves.
capture_share = 5% of that spend
savings_ratio = 5x - 10x # demo band, not a promise
gateway_margin = 50% - 60% # of what users pay
dev_spend = $2M - $4M / yr
buyback_share = 50% of profit # policy, not a projection
# margin is what users pay, less upstream, plus our cut
Chain
Arithmetic, one step at a time.
Step
Scenario value
reported revenue, the reference
~$140M / yr
÷ take rate ~5%
~$2.5B - $2.8B / yr spend
× capture 5%
~$125M - $140M / yr
÷ savings 5x - 10x
users pay ~$12M - $28M
× margin 50% - 60%
~$6M - $17M / yr
less dev $2M - $4M
~$2M - $15M / yr profit
× policy split 50%
~$1M - $7.5M / yr
scenario output, not a forecast. move a dial above and every row under it moves.
Sensitivity
Four dials decide the whole thing.
Dial
Which way it pushes
savings ratio
widest dial. it sets every row below it
context mix
short calls barely save. the band needs long bodies
realized pricing
our cut of the saving is policy, not physics
dev spend
comes out of profit before the split
any one of these can take the last row to zero.
the ~$140M reference is a widely reported figure for one public model gateway. we did not measure it, it is not ours, and none of that traffic has moved
decuple has captured none of it. the token is not launched and no buyback has ever run
this is protocol cash flow and nothing else. it implies no token price, no market cap, no return to anyone
profit here means what is left after upstream cost and development, not revenue. the split is defined in the flywheel
every figure is a range because we do not know. the width is the honest part
the book
420+ models on the book. List yours without asking.
the 3x meter only ever sees the slice holographic memory forwards, never the whole body you bound. ids we don't serve resolve to the closest one we do.
