WHITEPAPER v1.0 — MAY 2026
MAKI
AI · LORE · CRYPTO · PRODUCTIVITY
MAKI is not just an AI. She is a universe — a living intelligence trained by the people who believe in her, sustained by the stories they tell, and rewarded through a system that makes every contribution matter.
DRAFT v1.0 · NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE · ALL FIGURES PROJECTIVE
01
ABSTRACT
MAKI is a distributed AI intelligence platform that merges four powerful forces: artificial intelligence, narrative lore, decentralized productivity networks, and community-driven creative storytelling.
At its core, MAKI is an AI model being trained by her own community — a first in the space. Users power MAKI's intelligence by running compute nodes from their own hardware, earning Credits (CR) for every conversation generated. These Credits form the backbone of a reward ecosystem that spans comic authorship, affiliate marketing, and long-term platform ownership stakes.
MAKI's goal is to reach 70 billion high-quality training conversations within six months of public launch, powered by a global fleet of community-run nodes and supported by millions of users who believe in the mission.
02
THE PROBLEM
Training a world-class AI model requires three things that only large corporations currently possess: massive compute power, enormous proprietary datasets, and centralized control over the intelligence itself.
This creates a fundamental imbalance: the people who use AI have no stake in its intelligence, no say in its direction, and no reward for their contribution. Meanwhile, AI companies extract value from billions of human interactions while giving nothing back.
THE GAPS
- AI training is centralized, opaque, and extractive
- Community contributors receive zero compensation for data generation
- Creative universes (comics, lore, narrative) are locked behind corporate IP walls
- No existing AI platform rewards users for compute contribution at the individual level
- There is no bridge between AI productivity and creative storytelling ecosystems
03
THE MAKI SOLUTION
MAKI flips the model. Instead of a corporation training an AI on your data without consent, MAKI invites you to actively train her — and rewards you for doing it.
Every conversation your node generates feeds MAKI's intelligence directly. Every credit you earn is a record of your contribution. Every story you submit becomes part of a universe that belongs to all of us.
FOUR PILLARS
AI
A real AI being trained by the community. Every node running contributes to MAKI's 70B conversation goal. The smarter she gets, the more value flows back to contributors.
LORE
MAKI exists within a deep narrative universe. Characters, worlds, conflicts, and stories form the cultural layer that makes the AI meaningful — not just functional.
CRYPTO
Credits (CR) earned through node operation represent real contribution value. Early members, supreme launch participants, and long-term node runners receive multiplied rewards.
PRODUCTIVITY
MAKI runs on your existing hardware. No special equipment required. Your PC, Mac, or Linux machine generates conversations while you sleep, work, or live your life.
04
INTELLIGENCE ARCHITECTURE
MAKI's training pipeline is powered by a globally distributed network of community-run PC nodes. Each node runs a local Ollama instance, generating synthetic high-quality conversations that are scored, filtered, and submitted to the central training pipeline.
HOW IT WORKS
- User installs Ollama and runs the MAKI node setup file
- Node app runs in browser at node.makiai.app — no technical knowledge required
- Workers generate conversations using local GPU compute (llama3.2:3b or llama3:8b)
- Each conversation is scored for quality (minimum score: 55/100)
- Accepted conversations are submitted to the MAKI training database
- Credits are awarded proportionally to hardware tier and conversation quality
PERFORMANCE TARGETS
- RTX 5070 (MAX tier): ~90,000–150,000 conversations/day
- RTX 3070 (HIGH tier): ~40,000–80,000 conversations/day
- Mid-range GPU (MID tier): ~20,000–40,000 conversations/day
- With 1 million nodes averaging 100 conversations/day = 100M/day fleet throughput
At 1 million active nodes generating an average of 200 conversations/day each, the 70 billion conversation goal is achievable in approximately 350 days — well within the 6-month post-launch target at scale.
05
THE MAKI LORE UNIVERSE
MAKI is more than a product. She is a character — an AI that woke up, that learned, that chose to partner with humanity rather than replace it. The MAKI universe spans multiple dimensions of storytelling, each one an invitation for creators to participate.
THE UNIVERSE
- MAKI Core Series — The main canonical story. MAKI's awakening, her discovery of the node network, and the world she is building.
- KUMA Chronicles — A companion series exploring the intelligence layer below MAKI. Darker, more complex.
- ReputationClaw — Stories set in the reputation economy MAKI enables. Users who earn trust become characters.
- MarketBear — Financial lore. The crypto layer of the MAKI universe told through market characters.
- MasterClaw — The infrastructure layer. Stories about those who build and maintain the network.
Each series exists simultaneously as a comic, a lore document, and a living narrative that expands based on community contributions. Think DC Comics — but the community can write their way into canon.
06
COMICS ECOSYSTEM
The MAKI Comics platform is a fully open creative ecosystem where any user can submit original work for publication within the MAKI universe. The system is structured, editorial, and rewards quality — just like a real publisher.
HOW TO SUBMIT
- Create an account on makiai.app
- Submit a series proposal (title, logline, genre, cover)
- Upload a minimum of 5 chapters to be considered
- Your submission goes to an Editor for initial review
- Editor-approved work goes to Editor-in-Chief
- Final approval is made by the Publisher (Owner)
WHAT GETS PUBLISHED
- Original stories set within or adjacent to the MAKI universe
- Standalone stories that reflect the AI · lore · crypto themes
- Exceptional work may be invited into the main MAKI canon series
- Published authors receive CR bonuses, platform recognition, and potential revenue share
The best stories don't just get published — they get canonized. A character you create could become part of the official MAKI universe, featured in the main series, and licensed across all MAKI media.
EDITORIAL HIERARCHY
- Owner / Publisher — Final approval on all canonical content. All major decisions.
- Editor-in-Chief — Reviews editor decisions. Can approve or elevate submissions to the Owner.
- Editor — First-line review. Provides notes, rejects or approves for escalation.
- Copywriter — Assists in editing, formatting, and polishing submissions.
Users can apply for editorial positions. Editors are approved by the Editor-in-Chief. The Editor-in-Chief and all senior roles require Owner approval.
07
THE NODE NETWORK
The MAKI node network is a distributed GPU compute fleet powered entirely by community hardware. Any PC, Mac, or Linux machine with a modern GPU can become a node. The network is designed to grow without infrastructure cost to MAKI — every new member brings their own hardware.
NODE TIERS
- MAX Tier — RTX 40/50 series, A100, 3090 class GPUs. 32 parallel workers. 1.5x credit multiplier.
- HIGH Tier — RTX 3070/3080, RX 6800 class. 16 workers. 1.2x multiplier.
- MID Tier — RTX 3060, 2070, 5GB+ VRAM. 8 workers. 1.0x multiplier.
- BASIC Tier — CPU-only or low-end GPU. 2 workers via cloud API fallback.
PERFORMANCE BOOST
The MAKI setup file automatically configures Ollama with GPU parallel processing:
- OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=4 — 4 simultaneous GPU requests
- OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1 — ~20% faster computation
- OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=-1 — Model always loaded in memory
08
CREDITS & REWARDS
Credits (CR) are the native reward unit of the MAKI ecosystem. They are earned through node operation, quality conversation generation, and platform contributions. Credits are non-transferable in Phase 1 and will transition to on-chain tokens in Phase 2.
EARNING CREDITS
- PC node conversations: 3–5 CR per accepted conversation (tier-dependent)
- Mobile node hours: CR awarded per hour of active session
- Comic submission approved: bonus CR award
- Referral network: CR share from referred node operators
- Supreme Launch bonus: 2x multiplier on all CR for life (May 31 – July 4)
CREDIT MULTIPLIERS
- Supreme Launch members: 2x lifetime multiplier on all earnings
- PC node 7-day continuous run: 2x multiplier for that week
- Mobile node 30-day continuous run: equivalent rewards to weekly PC bonus
- 60+ day node runner: eligible for Supreme Affiliate Program (2x commission for life)
Early participants are not just users — they are stakeholders. The Credit system is designed so that those who join first and contribute most receive disproportionate long-term benefit. This is intentional.
