The AI data economy
starts with you.
Clork pays you when you contribute data — on your terms.
Upload your ChatGPT or Claude conversations, get cryptographic proof of ownership on Solana, and earn when AI companies and researchers purchase access.
Your conversations are the product
Only data you choose to upload is sold. You keep ownership; you control what's shared.
A $100B+ industry was built on user data
Most contributors got $0. The companies that collect and train on your conversations generate enormous value — almost none of it flows back to the people who created the data.

Training runs on scale
Trillions of tokens power modern foundation models. An increasing share comes from real user conversations with AI assistants, not just web crawls.

RLHF is preference data
Your thumbs-up, edits, and rerolls are the signal. Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback — the technique behind ChatGPT's usefulness — depends on massive volumes of exactly this kind of input.
Synthetic data hits diminishing returns
Without fresh human data, model quality degrades — a phenomenon researchers call "model collapse." Authentic conversations are irreplaceable for diversity and reasoning quality.
Expert domains are scarce
De-identified, consented specialist data is high-value. Domain experts are rare, and their AI conversations contain reasoning patterns that synthetic data can't replicate.
Data moats are real moats
The best data compounds model advantage. OpenAI's edge isn't just architecture — it's the billions of conversations they've collected. You should control yours.
How Clork works
Three steps. No middlemen. Fully on-chain.
Upload & hash
Drop your ChatGPT or Claude export. Clork parses and categorizes your conversations, then generates a unique SHA-256 fingerprint of the entire dataset.
Register on Solana
Write that hash to the Solana blockchain via the Memo Program. This creates an immutable, timestamped record proving you owned this data. ~$0.001.
List & get paid
Set your price in SOL. Buyers pay directly — 95% to your wallet, 5% platform fee. Developers can also buy via API using the x402 protocol (USDC).
The $CLORK token
$CLORK is the native token of the Clork data marketplace. It aligns incentives between data contributors, buyers, and the platform.
Earn by contributing
Every dataset you upload and list earns $CLORK rewards proportional to the quality and volume of your data. More conversations, rarer categories (specialized domains, expert knowledge), and verified on-chain hashes earn higher rewards.
- + Upload reward — tokens for every dataset registered on-chain
- + Quality bonus — higher rewards for de-identified expert and specialized categories
- + Sale commission — bonus $CLORK on top of SOL/USDC sale revenue
Spend for access
AI companies and researchers use $CLORK to access premium datasets, bulk download APIs, and priority listings. Holding $CLORK unlocks lower platform fees and early access to new dataset categories.
- $ Pay for datasets — use $CLORK alongside SOL/USDC
- $ Reduced fees — holders get lower platform commission
- $ Governance — vote on platform decisions and fee structures
Token economics
$CLORK creates a flywheel: more contributors upload data → marketplace becomes more valuable → more buyers pay for access → $CLORK demand increases → rewards attract more contributors. The token is the coordination layer that makes the data economy work.
AI companies can access any dataset with a single HTTP request. Payment in USDC is handled automatically in-flight via Coinbase's open x402 protocol. No accounts. No API keys. Just pay and receive data.

);
// USDC payment → dataset returnedData hashes registered on Solana via the Memo Program. Sub-second finality. Negligible fees. Every upload, sale, and proof is publicly verifiable. The blockchain is the receipt.
Why "Clork"?
Named after the invisible clerks — the processes inside AI systems that sort, categorize, and learn from billions of human conversations while the value flows only to the companies that run them. Clork flips that model. The people who create the data should own it and profit from it.
