Embrr AI

A prepaid AI gateway on Robinhood Chain. Fund one balance with crypto, spend it across text, code, image, video and audio models at published rates, and withdraw whatever you do not spend. A 10% platform fee sits on top of the model cost. Half of that fee buys $EMBRR on the open market and burns it; 30% pays the author of the prompt you ran; 20% runs the company.

The burn is funded by revenue, never by the treasury, and every burn is a transaction hash on a public page.

• ›One prepaid balance for text, code, image, video and audio models
• ›No subscription, no card, no bank transfer
• ›Unspent balance is withdrawable to the wallet that deposited it
• ›Every paid request feeds a public, per-transaction burn

Status: pre-launch. The gateway opens in Phase 1 and the token launches at the end of Phase 2. Nothing on this page describes a live market.

1. Fund

Deposit from the wallet you already use. 1 USD becomes 1,000 credits. Credits are denominated in USD and do not expire.

2. Spend

Every request is metered at the published upstream rate plus a 10% platform fee. The balance follows the workload; nothing recurs.

3. Burn

The burn share of each fee is queued. When the queue reaches 50 USD or 1 hour passes, one transaction buys $EMBRR on the open market and destroys it.

Only our margin is ever split. The upstream model cost passes straight through to the provider and is never ours.

Worked example: a day of usage costs 10.00 USD upstream. You are charged 11.00 USD. 10.00 leaves for the provider. Of the remaining 1.00: 0.30 to prompt authors, 0.50 to the burn, 0.20 to operations.

1. Revenue only, never treasury

No revenue means no burn. A burn paid for out of our own reserves is theatre: it moves our money in a circle and calls the circle demand. We will not do it, including on a slow week when the chart would like us to.

2. Buy first, then destroy

We hold no token inventory to burn. Each burn is a real market buy followed by burn(). Destroying tokens already in our own wallet would shrink our bag and place no bid.

3. Batched, not per request

A transaction per request is waste. The queue accumulates to 50 USD or one hour, whichever lands first, then fires once.

4. Published or it did not happen

Every burn writes a row on the public burns page: amount, tokens destroyed, transaction hash, block. No aggregate-only dashboards, no rounded monthly totals.

Unspent balance is withdrawable. Two constraints make that safe rather than clever.

Credits buy model usage only. They accrue nothing over time and are redeemable solely against usage or withdrawal of the unspent portion to the originating wallet.

Three requests, no wallet, no signup, inexpensive models only. A free request costs us money upstream and earns none, so burning on top of it would be paying twice to fake a metric. The free screen still shows the machine working, honestly.

• ›The first line is a labelled simulation, never presented as a burn.
• ›The second is other people's real burns, each with a link to its transaction.
• ›Watching strangers burn is a stronger pitch than a fake counter, and it is true.

Half the discount is earned by holding, half by using, and the total is capped at 40%.

From holding

From usage, rolling 30 days

Why the cap is 40% and not 100%

A 100% discount looks generous and quietly switches the machine off at exactly the accounts using the product most. Capping at 40% keeps every request generating a burn while still making the discount worth holding for.

Effective fee never goes below 6%. It is a hard constraint, not a target.

If the company acquires any position, it is bought on the open curve like everyone else and locked in a contract with a published unlock date. Not held in a wallet and described as locked. The difference between a claim and a fact is checkable in one call.

What the token deliberately is not

• ›Not a revenue share — holders receive no payments
• ›Not staking — there is nothing to lock
• ›Not governance theatre — we do not pretend a vote decides the model catalog
• ›Not required to use — the product is open to all
• ›Not a discount on cost — upstream model price is always paid in full; the discount only ever touches our margin

Why the token is not first

The standard failure is launching the token on day one beside a thin product and a fee of zero, which produces a token whose only utility is a discount on nothing. By launching at Phase 2, the mechanism is evidence before it is a promise.

Publish a prompt; when a stranger runs it, 30% of the fee on that request routes to you automatically. There is no claim step.

• ›Listing requires 20 USD of lifetime spend on the account
• ›Self-runs are excluded from ranking and from earnings
• ›Earnings are spendable as credits or withdrawable

Ranking

A prompt ranks on paid runs by other people in the last seven days. Votes, stars and follower counts are free to manufacture; a paid run costs real money at real upstream rates, which makes the metric expensive to fake and therefore worth displaying. The board resets weekly so early listings cannot hold the top on history alone.

Planned surface. The API opens in Phase 4; paths may change before then.

Billed at 8% instead of 10%. The request shape matches what most clients already send, so a migration is a base URL and a key.

We route through a licensed model aggregator instead of contracting each model vendor directly.

The trade is a thinner margin, since the aggregator takes a cut before we take ours. We accept it. Our edge is the economics layer, not the integration count.

Two public pages, no login and no key. The burns page lists every burn as its own row: amount spent, tokens destroyed, transaction hash, block. The reserves page compares the treasury balance with the total of unspent credits owed.

The threshold is roughly 100,000 USD per month of upstream spend — about 500 users at 200 USD a month, or 150 teams. Below 25,000 USD a month the burn is decoration. We will not market the burn as a reason to buy until the number clears that line, and the burns page will show the real figure whatever it is.

Phase 0 — Validation (days, blocking) · current

• ›Upstream resale terms confirmed in writing
• ›BurnVault adapted and re-run against a mainnet fork
• ›Domain and handles secured
• ›Model catalog and rate sheet pulled live
• ›Legal read on prepaid credits and withdrawal

Nothing ships until the resale question has a written answer. It is the one failure that cannot be patched afterwards.

Phase 1 — Gateway live (about one week)

• ›Text, code and image routing end to end
• ›Metering and ledger with both invariants enforced
• ›Free tier with the labelled simulation line
• ›Cross-chain deposit, credits in seconds
• ›Withdrawal to the depositing wallet, zero fee
• ›Public reserves endpoint

No token in this phase. The product must stand on its own first.

Phase 2 — Burn engine (three to four days)

• ›BurnVault deployed to chain 4663
• ›Batching live at 50 USD or one hour
• ›Public burns page with per-transaction rows
• ›Burn receipt card and one-click share
• ›Independent review of the vault before first fire

$EMBRR launches at the end of this phase, not before.

Phase 3 — Prompt market (about one week)

• ›Listing flow behind the 20 USD spend gate
• ›Automatic attribution and author settlement
• ›Usage-based ranking, weekly reset
• ›Video and audio added to the catalog

Phase 4 — Scale (ongoing)

• ›Developer API at 8% with per-key caps
• ›Command-line client
• ›Hybrid discount tiers switched on
• ›Team accounts with shared balances
• ›Monthly burn-rate transparency report

Do I need the token to use the product?

No. The product works completely without it. Holding only reduces the platform fee on your own usage.

Does the free tier burn anything?

No. A free request earns nothing, so there is nothing to burn with. The free screen shows a labelled simulation and a live feed of other people's real burns.

Can I get my money back?

Yes, the unspent part. It returns only to the address that deposited it, with no fee, from 5 USD.

Where do the burned tokens come from?

From the open market. The burn engine buys with platform revenue and destroys what it bought in the same transaction. We hold no inventory to burn.

Is the burn large?

Not at small scale, and we say so. It becomes material at roughly 100,000 USD of monthly upstream spend. The burns page will always show the real figure.

Can you see my prompts?

While a request is in flight, yes — it has to pass through our servers to be metered and routed. Prompts and outputs are not stored afterwards, and nothing typed is used for training by us.
