Claud Coin ($CLAUD)

A Solana-based incentivization protocol for AI developer communities, focusing on Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration and knowledge sharing.

Bringing together the utility and community created by a decentralized system that utilizes tokenization to create order, recognition, and education

An ecosystem that catalogs and ranks AI tools by design, creates a safe space for new AI

🎯 Mission

Claud Coin bridges the gap between traditional developers and the emerging "AI-native" development community by:

• Incentivize knowledge sharing and tool creation
• Rewarding quality contributions to the AI development ecosystem
• Creating a sustainable economy around AI tool development
• Gamifying the learning process for new AI developers

🏗️ Architecture

The project implements a three-tiered reward system:

1. Tool Usage (100 base tokens)

   • Rewards for using and testing AI development tools
   • Complexity-based scoring system
   • Anti-gaming protections built-in

2. Resource Access (50 base tokens)

   • Incentives sharing of development resources
   • Documentation contributions
   • Code examples and templates

3. Community Building (200 base tokens)

   • Higher rewards for community contributions
   • Knowledge sharing and mentoring
   • Creating educational content

🛠️ Technical Implementation

Core Features

• Solana program for token management and distribution
• Achievement system with NFT integration (Phase 3)
• MCP integration for tool usage tracking
• Complexity scoring algorithm for fair rewards
• Anti-spam protections with cooldown periods
