What is Cluster Protocol?

Cluster Protocol is a decentralized AI infrastructure protocol that verifies AI training and inference work — a "proof of compute" model — and coordinates AI models, GPU compute, and datasets. The protocol runs on Base, with CP as its utility token. Cluster Protocol uses Fully Homomorphic Encryption for private model training and Chainlink CCIP for burn-and-mint cross-chain transfers.

How is the CP utility token used within the Cluster Protocol network?

CP is the utility token of Cluster Protocol. The token pays for compute and dataset purchases in the protocol's compute- and dataset-marketplace mechanics, grants network access, and supports staking and governance. Cluster Protocol targets AI developers, GPU owners, and agent builders as the token's core users.

What is Cluster Protocol's total and maximum supply?

Cluster Protocol's total and maximum supply are both fixed at 5,000,000,000 CP, per DropsTab data. The entire supply was created in a single genesis mint. The contract enforces a hard cap that reverts any mint beyond 5 billion CP, and minting rights sit only with the Chainlink CCIP token pool (burn-on-source, mint-on-destination). Cluster Protocol has no burn mechanism, no buyback program, and no staking-reward issuance.

How does the CP vesting and unlock schedule work?

Per Cluster Protocol's official token disclosure (v1.0, 31 August 2026), 27.38% of supply — roughly 1.37 billion CP — circulated at TGE in early September 2026. Seed (4.29%) and Series A & Strategic (9.33%) have a 12-month cliff with zero unlocked at TGE. Team (17%) has an 18-month cliff. Liquidity (8%) unlocked fully at TGE. The full schedule vests 100% of supply by month 42, around March 2030.

Is CP a good investment?

Cluster Protocol carries structural supply-side risk. 30.62% of CP supply sits with insiders (Seed, Series A & Strategic, Team) that unlock from month 13. The first insider cliff lands around September 2027, releasing roughly 28.4 million CP per month, and the Team allocation emits about 35.4 million CP per month from March 2028 — sustained sell pressure through 2030. The fixed no-mint cap partially offsets this. No price prediction is made here.

Which investors backed Cluster Protocol?

Pivot, a Singapore accelerator and venture firm, backed Cluster Protocol in a March 2024 round (amount not publicly disclosed). A $5,000,000 round followed on 23 April 2026, led by dao5 with Paper Ventures, JPEG Trading, and Mapleblock Capital. Total funding to date is approximately $7.75 million, per The Block — though that article is sponsored, so its traction claims are sponsor-supplied.

What does Cluster Protocol's funding signal about project maturity?

The April 2026 round was led by dao5, an established crypto investment firm, and included JPEG Trading — a trading firm whose participation typically signals market-making and liquidity support. Cluster Protocol earmarked the entire $5M round for Codexero, a browser-native AI IDE for EVM built by the same team. That earmark ties Cluster Protocol's backing to product expansion beyond the core protocol.

Where can I buy Cluster Protocol (CP)?

Per DropsTab data, CP trades across 20+ markets. Spot CEX coverage includes Upbit (CP/KRW, CP/BTC, CP/USDT), Bithumb, Coinbase (CP/USD), Bitget, KuCoin, Gate, and MEXC. Perpetual contracts trade on OKX, KuCoin Futures, and Gate.io. On-chain, CP trades on Aerodrome and multiple Uniswap V3 pools on Base, all against USDC. Korean exchange coverage is unusually deep for a token that listed in September 2026, while DEX liquidity concentrates on a single chain.

What Binance Alpha rewards did Cluster Protocol (CP) distribute?

Cluster Protocol launched on Binance Alpha with two reward programs. An 860 CP airdrop, requiring at least 235 Alpha Points on a first-come-first-served basis, was distributed at the ~4 September 2026 listing. A Binance Alpha trading competition then ran across two rounds — 8–15 and 15–22 September 2026 — allocating $200K in CP (4,000,000 CP): the top 2,000 users by CP purchase volume each received 2,000 CP, with only purchases counted and sells and bridges excluded.
