CLORE is competing in a global GPU marketplace where speed, simplicity, and familiar payment methods matter. This proposal asks whether we should re-enable BTC and USDT as payment options for rental orders.

Why this is good for the project

• Less friction → more users. Many renters already hold BTC/USDT and don't want extra swaps just to place an order.
• More volume and turnover. Easier payments typically mean higher conversion and more repeat usage.
• Stronger competitiveness. To seriously compete with other GPU marketplaces, we need to meet users where they are — with the payment rails they actually use.
• More fees → CLORE buybacks. If volume grows, marketplace fees grow too. A portion of those fees will be used to buy back CLORE from the market. The team considers this an important step: more users → more turnover → more fees → more buybacks.

CLORE utility

Re-enabling BTC + USDT is about convenience — not replacing CLORE.

• CLORE payments remain the core option on Clore. Rentals paid in CLORE will keep the minimal fee structure, as they always have.
• Higher fees will apply only to BTC + USDT. We plan to introduce a higher base fee for BTC/USDT-related flows (for example: withdrawals/settlement), while keeping CLORE fees low.
• Fee discounts for CLORE holders. Holding CLORE will reduce BTC/USDT fees — the more CLORE you hold, the lower your BTC/USDT fee tier. This creates a clear reason to hold CLORE even if you prefer paying in BTC/USDT.
• Governance stays in CLORE. Voting power is based on CLORE holdings, and submitting proposals requires burning CLORE — keeping the DAO serious and aligned with long-term value.

Team view

We believe BTC + USDT payments are a key growth lever. This is how we attract more people, increase marketplace activity, and create a direct link between platform growth and CLORE demand through buybacks.
