Fees
become
weights.

Launch a token for an open model. Every trade pays a 1% fee — 60% of it buys GPU time for that model, released milestone by milestone. When the run ends, the weights, logs and evals are published for everyone.

01 / HOW IT WORKS

Four steps.
One output.

A token on weights.fund is attached to a model project — a written spec of what will be trained, on which data, and under which license. Trading funds the spec. The spec produces weights.

01

Launch

Create a token and attach a model spec: architecture, size, dataset, license, deadline.

  • ~0.02 SOL launch fee
  • spec frozen at launch
  • open license required
02

Trade

Every buy and sell pays 1%. The compute share goes into the project's vault, not to anyone's wallet.

  • 0.60% → compute vault
  • 0.25% → maintainer
  • 0.15% → platform
03

Train

The vault pays GPU providers directly, in tranches, against milestones. Logs stream in public.

  • invoices paid from vault
  • live loss curves
  • checkpoints hashed
04

Publish

Weights, config, training logs and eval scripts are released. The weights' SHA-256 is recorded on-chain.

  • Apache-2.0 / MIT / CC-BY
  • reproducible evals
  • fees fund v2 next
02 / FEE SPLIT

Where the
1% goes.

Planned parameters for v1. The compute share is the point of the whole thing, so it's the biggest slice and the most restricted one.

Compute vault0.60%
Maintainer0.25%
Platform0.15%

Compute vault · 60%

Held per project. Can only pay invoices from approved GPU providers for that model's spec. Released per milestone. Unspent compute after a missed deadline rolls into the Community Queue.

Maintainer · 25%

For the person or team doing the work: data cleaning, training, evals, writing it up. Streams continuously, so maintainers aren't forced to pump for income.

Platform · 15%

Runs the launchpad, the indexer, the proof registry and audits. No other platform fee, no hidden spread.

03 / LAUNCH

Launch a
model token.

Fill in the token, then the model spec. The calculator estimates the compute your spec needs and how much trading it would take to fund it. Launches open after audit — you can prepare yours now.

05 / COMPUTE CALCULATOR

What does
a model cost?

The rule of thumb every lab uses: training takes about 6 × parameters × tokens FLOPs. Pick a size, a GPU and a price. Real runs cost more — this gives you the order of magnitude.

Every milestone produces something you can check yourself. The registry stores hashes on-chain; the files live on public model hubs and repos.

Check a weights file

Pick any file. Your browser computes its SHA-256 right here — nothing is uploaded. On launch, you'd compare it with the hash recorded on-chain.

07 / MILESTONE ESCROW

No weights,
no next payout.

The vault never hands a lump sum to anyone. It pays GPU providers in tranches, and each tranche needs the previous milestone's proof.

M0
0%

Launch

Spec frozen: model size, data, license, deadline. Fees start filling the vault.

M1
10%

Data card

Dataset and filtering published. Unlocks compute for data processing.

M2
75%

Training

Paid in tranches against invoices. Logs and checkpoints published as it runs.

M3

Weights

Weights + evals released, hash on-chain. Later fees fund a v2 run.

Unspent compute moves to the Community Queue — other open projects, chosen by holders' vote.

Fees become weights.

weights.fund is a launchpad for open-source AI. Every token funds one model project.

1% fee per trade → 0.60% to that model's compute vault → paid to GPU providers, per milestone → weights, logs and evals published openly.
