Clichmont AI Presale: $0.15385 Price, 143M CLAI Tokens on Sale
Clichmont AI Presale: What Do CLAI Price and Unlock Terms Reveal?
A GPU operator with live sites in Norway has opened a token sale, and the counter still reads 0% sold. The Clichmont AI presale runs on BNB Chain at 0.15385 USDT per unit, with 143 million up for grabs.
The headline numbers are easy to read. The fine print takes longer. This guide walks through the sale, the business behind it, the unlock schedule, and the points the company's own documents admit are unfinished.
Key Takeaways
-
The sale page lists 143,000,000 for sale at 0.15385 USDT, and only 300.63 had sold at capture.
-
$CLAI cannot currently pay for GPU time. Staking unlocks discounts and priority access, and staking is not live yet.
-
The whitepaper lists a 3-month cliff for public-sale buyers, yet its table also shows "100%*" at TGE. Confirm timing before buying.
-
The whitepaper still holds unresolved drafting notes, and the Terms page still shows placeholders.
Clichmont AI Presale Snapshot: Price, Supply and Countdown
The live sale page shows these figures:
| Detail | Shown on page |
| Price | 1 CLAI = 0.15385 USDT |
| Network | |
| Total offered | 143,000,000 |
| Available | 142,999,699.369 |
| Sold | 300.63 (0%) |
| Payment | Chosen from a "Select token" menu |
| Countdown | 23 days, 18 hrs, 15 min, 36 sec |
Source: sale page capture. The page updates live, so these figures will have moved.
What the Numbers Mean
One USDT buys about 6.5 units at this price. The 143,000,000 on offer matches the public bucket in the tokenomics, which is 22% of the 650,000,000 fixed supply.
Our own arithmetic (not company figures) adds more context:
| Calculation | Result |
| 300.63 sold × 0.15385 | about $46 |
| 143,000,000 × 0.15385 (full sell-out) | about $22 million |
| 650,000,000 × 0.15385 (fully diluted) | about $100 million |
"Fully diluted" counts every unit, including locked ones. So the capture shows a sale that had barely begun.
The accepted payment assets are not visible in the capture, so check the menu before connecting a wallet.
The platform site announced the sale for September 2026. Like most sales in crypto news today, this one runs on a countdown, so confirm the closing time on the page itself.
What Clichmont Sells, and Where the Token Fits
The Business First
The website describes a company that operates AI GPU infrastructure and sells GPU time in USD or stablecoins.
The platform site lists AI training and inference, rendering, and high-performance computing as target workloads.
The whitepaper says the CEO founded the company in 2022. It also stresses that the company owns and operates its hardware, unlike peer-to-peer networks such as io.net and Akash, which coordinate independent operators. That comparison is the company's own, not an independent finding.
With and Without the Token
The website says buyers do not need $CLAI to purchase compute. Staking adds extras:
| Feature | Without $CLAI | With staked $CLAI |
| Buy GPU time in USD or stablecoins. | Yes. | Yes. |
| Priority access when capacity is tight | No | Yes. |
| Discounts | No | Yes. |
| βCLAI credits | No | Yes. |
Neither the whitepaper nor the visible website text gives a discount percentage.
How Staking and βCLAI Work
-
Staking creates βCLAI, a non-transferable, non-tradeable credit. It expires 60 days after it is earned if unused.
-
Customers spend βCLAI on compute. $CLAI itself cannot currently pay for compute, which the paper calls a deliberate choice to lower securities risk.
-
Larger stakers may get preferential routing during congestion.
-
Compute Validators stake to sell capacity through the platform's servers, which is how outside capacity is meant to join later.
-
The minimum stake is 10 with a 30-day lock. The app sidebar shows a Staking tab, but the website says staking is "launching soon".
Tokenomics and the Unlock Schedule
Supply is fixed at 650,000,000, and the whitepaper says nothing more will be minted. Here is its schedule, with shares calculated from the published amounts:
| Bucket | Amount | Share | Cliff / vesting (months) | At TGE |
| Seed | 4,875,000 | 0.75% | 6 / 18 | 0% |
| Private | 53,625,000 | 8.25% | 6 / 18 | 0% |
| Team | 58,500,000 | 9% | 18 / 24 | 0% |
| Development | 65,000,000 | 10% | 12 / 36 | 0% |
| Marketing | 65,000,000 | 10% | 0 / 36 | 0% |
| Public sale | 143,000,000 | 22% | 3 / none | 100%* |
| DEX liquidity | 45,500,000 | 7% | 0 / 0 | 100% |
| CEX liquidity | 65,000,000 | 10% | 6 / 12 | 100%* |
| Compute validators | 71,500,000 | 11% | 0 / 60 | 10% |
| Treasury | 78,000,000 | 12% | 12 / 60 | 0% |
Asterisks mark single cliff releases: public at month 3, exchange liquidity at month 6.
Plain-English Glossary
| Term | Meaning |
| Cliff | A waiting period before anything unlocks |
| Vesting | Gradual release after the cliff ends |
| TGE | Token generation event, when the token is created and first unlocks can begin |
| FDV | Price multiplied by total supply, locked units included |
What Stands Out
-
Early backers wait. Seed and private rounds hold 9% together, with a 6-month cliff and 18-month vesting. The team's 9% has an 18-month cliff.
-
Public buyers face a gap in the documents. The table shows a 3-month cliff and "100%*" at TGE, while the footnote says the allocation unlocks in full at month 3. Ask the team which applies.
-
Early supply is concentrated. The public, DEX and CEX buckets total 253.5 million, or 39% of supply (our arithmetic). The paper estimates about 281 million, 43%, circulating by month 6 and names that its largest early sell-pressure risk.
Buyback, Burn and the Hardware Behind It
How the Buyback Works
The whitepaper describes a baseline monthly buyback of $60,000 and above, executed by a token entity incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. It calls this an operational commitment, not a guarantee or promise of return.
Of the units bought, 70% goes to protocol-owned liquidity and only 30% is burned. So "buyback and burn" is mostly a liquidity story.
Two Versions of the Funding
The whitepaper instead cites a reserve set aside at token generation and ties the burn pace to compute activity, not revenue. The reserve's size and funding source are marked pending.
Roadmap and Sites
The paper's indicative roadmap has five phases. Staking activation and the buyback engine sit in phase 2, and no dates are given.
| Phase | Focus |
| 1 | Owned infrastructure and initial compute product |
| 2 | Token and βCLAI utility, staking, buyback engine |
| 3 | More capacity and enterprise partnerships |
| 4 | Third-party capacity under quality standards |
| 5 | Move toward a broader decentralized marketplace |
Per the platform site, hardware is split like this:
| Site | Status | Hardware |
| Billingstad, Norway | Live | H200, RTX 6000 Blackwell S |
| Bodø Harbor, Norway | Live | RTX 5090, RTX 4090 |
| Bodø data center | Q4 2027 | B300, B200, H200, RTX 6000 Blackwell S |
| Alicante, Spain | Q4 2027 | RTX 5090, RTX 4090 |
| UAE | 2028 (pre-development) | Not specified |
The website adds that Alicante should run 16 servers and 12 workstations, and the new Bodø site roughly 150 to 200 servers. It lists Vast.ai, MSI, Cybertek, NTC and Mt Pelerin as partners.
Conclusion
The Clichmont AI presale pairs operating hardware in Norway with a token whose benefits depend on staking that has not launched and on mechanics the whitepaper calls unfinished.
The price, supply, and timer are clear. Unlock timing, buyback funding, and legal terms are not. Read the whitepaper and terms in full, use only the links on the project's website, and treat the countdown as information, not urgency.
