The Complete Calculation

These steps explain the API Gateway path — staking MOR in a Builders subnet to earn a daily inference-credit yield (emission ÷ total staked). End-user Gateway MOR stays in the builders stake (credits ledger) — it is not session-escrowed, so the Inference Contract used-stipend day-lock does not apply to you. The Run Your Own Node path works differently: it reads a live session stipend straight from the Inference contract (stakeToStipend), which is a daily compute allowance, not an emission yield — and opening sessions escrow + day-lock used stake until the next UTC day. Every figure here is live and moves with the network.

⚠

Emissions chain — what's verified vs. what needs smart contract confirmation

✓ Confirmed (matches Morpheus Marketplace API source code): emission schedule formula, 24% × 80% builders allocation, stake_share = user_MOR / global_total, data source for total staked (/api/builders/subnets).

? Needs smart contract verification:

Does the on-chain MOR contract actually allocate 24% to Builders specifically? (Code still names it COMPUTE_PERCENT.)
Does user_stake / global_total correctly mirror the on-chain credit allocation, or is it per-subnet first?
What is STAKING_CREDITS_ADJUSTMENT_FACTOR in prod? (Secret default 1.0.)
Does the 80% actual distribution factor match the live contract state?

✓ Gateway credits (prod ledger): daily_credits_usd = mor_earned × MOR_spot × factor — e.g. 1.275 MOR × $2.37 ≈ $3.02 for ~1000 MOR staked. Do not confuse with Direct stakeToStipend (different rate).

Step 1 — Total MOR Protocol Emission

daily_total = 14,400 − (day_number − 1) × 2.468994701
→ today (~day …): ~… MOR/day across all 5 pools

The Morpheus protocol started Feb 8, 2024. 14,400 MOR/day at launch, declining 2.469 MOR/day, ending ~2039 (day 5,833). Today is . Only ~14.5% of all minted MOR (~10M total) has been staked in Builder subnets so far.

Step 2 — Builders Bucket (24%) + 80/20 Split

builders_gross = daily_total × 0.24 ← 24% of protocol to Builders
your_usable = builders_gross × 0.80 ← 80% available for inference
builder_fee = builders_gross × 0.20 ← 20% to subnet admin/builder
→ today: ~… gross → ~… to stakers · ~… builder fee

The Builders bucket receives 24% of total daily emission. Of that, 80% flows to stakers as inference credits; the remaining 20% goes to the subnet builder (in this case, the Morpheus Marketplace API team) as an operator reward. ⚠ The 80/20 ratio needs on-chain verification — see disclaimer above.

Step 3 — Your Share of Global Staked MOR

stake_share = your_MOR / total_MOR_in_ALL_builder_subnets
→ all subnets: ~… MOR staked · API GW subnet: ~… MOR (…)

Your stake share uses the global total across all builder subnets — not just the subnet you staked into. Staking 1,000 MOR to the API Gateway subnet gives you the same proportional share as 1,000 MOR in any other subnet. Current total fetched live from dashboard.mor.org/api/builders/subnets.

Step 4 — Your Daily Inference Credits

gross_mor = stake_share × builders_gross (your cut of 24%)
your_mor = gross_mor × 0.80 (80% to you)
builder_mor = gross_mor × 0.20 (20% to subnet admin)
daily_credits_usd = your_mor × MOR_spot × adjustment_factor

Matches API Gateway staking_service and prod ledger descriptions (earned X MOR @ $Y). Credits refresh every midnight UTC. Unused credits do NOT roll over. Do not use Direct stakeToStipend here — that on-chain rate is higher and is not what the Gateway grants.

Step 5 — Annual Inference Credit Yield

annual_APY = (builders_emission × factor × 365) / total_staked
≈ (… × factor × 365) / … ≈ … (live)

Because credits = MOR×spot×factor and stake value = MOR×spot, spot cancels — APY equals (emission×factor)÷total staked. This is inference credits, not cash. (~46% today at factor 1.0; the old Direct-tab ~113% was stakeToStipend mislabeled as Gateway yield.)

Yield sensitivity to total staked (holding emission constant):

1.5M staked → … · 3M → … · 5M → … · 10M → …

Yield falls as more MOR is staked.

Step 6 — Reverse: How much MOR to stake for $X/day?

required_MOR = (target_daily_USD × total_staked) / (builders_emission × MOR_spot × factor)

Rearranging the Gateway credit formula.

Step 7 — Model Cost per Request

cost = (input_tokens × input_price_per_1M + output_tokens × output_price_per_1M) / 1,000,000

Standard per-token pricing. All Morpheus models priced per 1 million tokens in USD. See the pricing table or docs.

🤖 Running AI Agents & Automated Workflows?

Coding assistants, research bots, and background automation agents make hundreds of API calls per day — and that usage compounds fast. Whether you buy credits or stake MOR, Morpheus is purpose-built for high-volume, continuous inference at a fraction of what closed APIs charge.

Decentralized Inference — No Gateway, No Intermediary

Acquire MOR tokens and run your own Consumer Node. Your MOR is staked on-chain when you open an inference session — your wallet is your identity. You connect directly to providers through the smart contract marketplace. No email, no API key, no centralized Consumer Node between you and the provider.

How the Direct Path Works

Acquire MOR → Run Consumer Node → Use Inference

💰

Step 1

Acquire MOR

Buy MOR tokens on a DEX (Uniswap, Aerodrome) or earn them through capital/code contributions. MOR is your access key to the network.

Uniswap →

💻

Step 2

Run Your Consumer Node

Download and run the Morpheus consumer node locally. It handles provider discovery, session routing, and TEE verification. When you start a session, your MOR is staked on-chain to earn proportional inference credits.

🔑

Step 3

Stake MOR & Use Inference

This is why you acquired MOR. Sessions escrow MOR in the Inference Contract (not burned). On close, unused stake returns immediately; used stake is locked until the next UTC day, then claimable. Plan for gross daily float — used MOR cannot open another session the same UTC day.
