Cluster Protocol is an orchestration layer for autonomous AI workflows. It gives developers and AI agents one place to run serverless inference across 500+ models, access tokenized datasets, provision GPU compute, and settle each of those steps programmatically through x402 payment rails. The aim is to make AI infrastructure composable and machine-payable, so an agent can select a model, pull a dataset, rent compute, and pay per call without a human in the loop or a subscription in the way.

$CP is the native token of the network, deployed on Base with a fixed supply of 5,000,000,000. It is used for payment and settlement across the protocol's inference, compute, and dataset services, and for staking.

Cluster Protocol is developed by Open Protocol Labs Ltd, a British Virgin Islands company. The project announced a funding round in April 2026 led by DAO5, with Paper Ventures, JPEG Trading, and Mapleblock Capital participating.
