# What we do not promise

A short page, on purpose.

**No returns.** Running a node pays a share of an hourly pool that the operator sets and funds. The pool can be any number including zero. The fee flow that funds it depends on trading volume nobody controls. Rewards are not guaranteed, not projected, and not an investment.

**No token price.** Nothing on the site or in this book states, implies or models a price for the BRAIN token. The economics pages show SOL that moved and SOL that is owed.

**No emissions.** No tokens are created to pay anyone. The pool is SOL from fees already earned.

**No staking.** Holding tokens earns nothing by itself. The holding multiplier is applied to verified compute, and multiplies zero into zero.

**No passive income.** Uptime without verified work earns nothing. A tab that is open but never verifies a unit earns nothing.

**No points, quests, levels, licences, NFTs or governance.** They have been suggested, with real enthusiasm, and the answer is no. Each would either pay for something that is not compute or create a second thing to speculate on.

**No savings claims.** BRAIN has not measured its cost against anyone else's and does not say it is cheaper.

**No "verified" where it is not.** Node inference receipts say `node-reported`. Upstream receipts say `unverified-provider-response`. Only browser work the server checked bit-exactly, and inference stages two tabs agreed on, say verified.

**No uptime guarantee.** BRAIN has had two multi-hour outages in its first three days. The [incident log](/trust/incident-log.md) is public.

What BRAIN does promise is narrower and checkable: the rules on these pages are the rules in the code, the figures on the site come from records you can read, and when something is not real yet, it is labelled.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.brainnetwork.app/economics/what-we-do-not-promise.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
