Clore.ai (CLORE)

Overview

Clore.ai is a marketplace for renting graphics processing units, or GPUs. A GPU is a computer chip built to handle many calculations at once. That makes it useful for training artificial intelligence models, creating digital images, rendering video, and other demanding work. On Clore.ai, people who own GPU servers list their machines for rent. People who need computing power choose a server and run their work on it. The project’s token, CLORE, helps connect those rentals to payments, rewards, and marketplace fee benefits. (docs.clore.ai)

Clore.ai is part of a broader idea often called decentralized physical infrastructure: many independent owners supply equipment through one marketplace. The servers remain with their hosts, while Clore.ai provides the tools to list them, find them, and manage orders. CLORE currently operates as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. It moved there from the project’s original proof-of-work blockchain in December 2025. (docs.clore.ai)

History & Team

From mining to GPU rentals

Clore.ai’s marketplace launched publicly in December 2022, initially using Bitcoin for rental payments. The project later added CLORE payments and features designed to give token holders benefits within the marketplace. Its first token ran on a mineable blockchain. In December 2025, the team took a snapshot of that chain and began a one-for-one move to an Ethereum token. The claim period ended in February 2026, and the marketplace now uses the ERC-20 version of CLORE. (clore.ai)

Jakub Ondrášek founded Clore.ai and has a background in cryptocurrency mining infrastructure. The project’s team page also identifies John as CEO, Loony as head of product, Val as chief technology officer, and Corey as lead for desktop and mobile applications. The team has described the move to Ethereum as a way to simplify wallet and exchange support while focusing its development work on the GPU marketplace. (docs.clore.ai)

The project says CLORE began without a premine or initial coin offering. Under the current token plan, however, defined portions of the Ethereum supply are set aside for team, marketing, ecosystem, and other uses. Those present-day allocations are part of the token’s later migration and economic design. (clore.ai)

Technology & How It Works

A marketplace for physical servers

A host connects a GPU-equipped machine to Clore.ai, lists its hardware, and sets rental terms. A renter searches listings by details such as GPU model, memory, and other server features. After choosing a machine, the renter can select a prepared software image or configure a Docker container for the job. Docker containers package software so it can run in a defined environment on the rented server. Clore.ai also provides an API for people who want to manage deployments through code. (docs.clore.ai)

Renters can choose between on-demand and spot orders. On-demand orders reserve a server for the agreed rental period. Spot orders use bids: another renter can outbid an existing spot order and take over the server. That difference matters when choosing a workload. A task that can pause and restart fits spot renting more easily than a long training job that needs uninterrupted access. (docs.clore.ai)

The GPU work runs on the host’s machine. Ethereum serves a different purpose: it supports the current CLORE token and its transfers. Clore.ai’s documentation describes supported rental payments in CLORE, Bitcoin, and stablecoins. Paying with CLORE has a distinct place in the fee system because it avoids the additional host fee applied to other payment currencies. (docs.clore.ai)

Tokenomics & Utility

Supply and distribution

CLORE has a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens on Ethereum. The project assigns 630 million to a pool for claims by holders of the former proof-of-work coin. Another 143 million are allocated to marketplace and Proof of Holding rewards. The remaining allocations include 87 million for marketing, 40 million for the team, and four pools of 25 million each for treasury, protocol-owned liquidity, ecosystem activity, and growth. The team allocation follows a five-year vesting schedule with an initial six-month period before release. (docs.clore.ai)

Vesting means that an allocation becomes available over time rather than all at once. Rewards for holding CLORE and taking part in marketplace activity come from a dedicated pool. The project’s token plan sets an initial combined distribution of 164,000 CLORE per day for those two purposes and describes a schedule that reduces that distribution over time. These are features of the token’s supply plan, separate from payments made between renters and hosts for computing services. (docs.clore.ai)

Payments and holding benefits

CLORE’s main roles are paying for GPU rentals, funding certain ecosystem rewards, and providing marketplace fee benefits. Through Proof of Holding, or PoH, eligible holders receive a share of rewards and can reduce base marketplace fees. The published fee schedule allows reductions of up to 50% for both renters and hosts, depending on the amount held. Hosts can also use a separate feature called MFP Lock to reduce an extra fee connected with rentals paid in currencies other than CLORE. (docs.clore.ai)

Ecosystem & Use Cases

What renters and hosts do

An AI developer can rent GPUs to train or fine-tune a model, run an existing model, or create AI-generated images. A designer can use the same kind of hardware to render 3D scenes or video. Other supported work includes scientific computing and GPU-based software that runs in a suitable container. The marketplace offers different machines because hosts supply their own hardware; renters choose the setup that matches the job. (docs.clore.ai)

For hosts, Clore.ai offers a way to put their existing servers to work. Hosts control listings and can configure how their machines operate between rentals. The hosting tools include an option for background cryptocurrency mining while a server is idle. That is an activity of a host’s GPU; it is separate from mining CLORE on the project’s former blockchain. (docs.clore.ai)

The ecosystem extends beyond standard container rentals. Clore.ai launched a Bare Metal service that gives customers direct access to servers without a virtualized layer, aimed at AI and other high-performance computing tasks. It also offers Clore VPN, for which CLORE is described as a payment option where the service is available. By December 2025, the project reported more than 1.5 million completed marketplace orders and over 40 million hours of computing delivered since launch. (clore.ai)

Advantages & Challenges

The marketplace’s main strength is choice. Instead of renting only from one hardware provider, customers can compare machines supplied by different hosts. Container images help them start common workloads, while the API supports repeatable deployments. For a server owner, flexible listings provide a way to serve AI, rendering, and other customers using hardware already in place. CLORE adds a shared payment and reward system across these activities. (docs.clore.ai)

That variety also makes the service more complex than a single, uniform cloud. GPU models, memory, connections, and host settings differ across listings, so renters need to match a server to their software. Spot bids add another trade-off: they can suit work that tolerates interruption, while on-demand orders suit work that needs a reserved machine. On the token side, users must understand the difference between CLORE held in an Ethereum wallet, CLORE used for marketplace payments, and tokens placed in the platform’s holding or locking features. (docs.clore.ai)

Where to Buy & Wallets

CLORE is available on MEXC, Gate, BingX, and Uniswap on Ethereum. The project identifies the first three among its exchange options and recorded its launch on Uniswap after the Ethereum migration. Exchange access can differ by location and by platform. (clore.ai)

Ethereum-compatible wallets can hold the current token. The project lists MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger, and Trezor among supported wallet options. CLORE’s Ethereum contract address is 0xe60201989b8628f43dc0605f585a72bcf1f1e977. Marketplace users can also keep a balance in their Clore.ai account to pay for rentals or use eligible platform features. (docs.clore.ai)

Regulatory & Compliance

Clore.ai’s terms provide for identity checks and anti-money-laundering screening when the platform requires them. They also restrict use connected to applicable sanctions. For services offered in the European Union, the Markets in Crypto-Assets framework sets rules for activities that qualify as regulated crypto-asset services. In the United States, the legal treatment of a crypto-asset transaction depends on its facts and how it is offered. These rules concern different activities—such as providing computing services, handling tokens, or offering crypto services—rather than every part of the project in the same way. (docs.clore.ai)

Islamic-finance analysis likewise looks at the details of an activity and the rights attached to a token. CLORE can be used to pay for GPU computing, while PoH rewards and token-locking features have their own terms to assess. Sharlife has a CLORE screening dated to the first quarter of 2024; that predates the December 2025 token migration. An assessment of the present system would need to consider the Ethereum token and its current reward and marketplace features. (sharlife.my)

Future Outlook

Clore.ai’s development has moved beyond its original rental page toward more ways to find and use GPU servers. Its 2026 updates include a redesigned marketplace, changes to host pricing tools, and improvements to how renters compare servers and configure software images. Those changes point to a practical focus: making a varied network of independently supplied machines easier to search and use. (clore.ai)

The token’s future role is tied to that product work. More rental activity creates more opportunities to use CLORE for payments and fee benefits, while the fixed supply and scheduled reward pool define how the current token model operates. The project has also identified possible integrations with other blockchain networks as a development direction. Its core task remains bringing GPU owners and computing customers together through a marketplace people can use for real work. (docs.clore.ai)

Summary

Clore.ai combines a peer-to-peer GPU rental marketplace with an Ethereum-based utility token. Renters use the platform for AI, rendering, and other computing tasks; hosts list the machines that perform them. CLORE supports payments, rewards, and fee benefits around that activity. Its shift from a mineable coin to a fixed-supply ERC-20 token marked a major change in how the project connects its cryptocurrency to its computing services. (docs.clore.ai)
