COD3X uses a credit-based system for AI compute costs. Credits are consumed when your agent performs analysis, makes decisions, or generates reports. Every new account starts with 1,000 free credits so you can explore the platform before purchasing.

Credit System

Credits are separate from trading capital. Your USDC for trading and credits for AI compute are managed independently. You purchase credits with fiat or crypto, and your agents draw from that balance whenever they run operations.

NOTE

Credits never expire. Purchase at your own pace and use them whenever you need to.

Purchasing Credits

Use the credit slider to choose any amount between 5,000 and 50,000 credits. The base rate is $1.00 per 100 credits (1¢ each). A logarithmic volume discount kicks in as you buy more — the curve is back-loaded so meaningful savings only appear at higher quantities.

Volume Discount Scale

Credits	Discount	Rate / 100	Total
5,000	0%	$1.00	$50.00
10,000	~0.9%	$0.99	$99.10
20,000	~3.6%	$0.96	$192.80
35,000	~7.1%	$0.93	$325.50
50,000	10%	$0.90	$450.00

NOTE

You can select any value in 100-credit increments. The discount follows a squared-log curve so it grows slowly at first and accelerates toward the maximum 10% at 50,000 credits.

TIP

CDX stakers receive additional discounts: 10% (OPERATOR), 20% (ARCHITECT), or 30% (SENTINEL) off all credit purchases.

Credit Usage

Different operations consume different amounts of credits based on AI model and complexity.

Operation	Credit Cost	Notes
Market Analysis	5-20	Depends on depth and model
Trade Decision	10-30	Includes risk assessment
Position Monitoring	1-5	Per check cycle
Report Generation	20-50	Detailed performance reports
Chat Response	5-15	Natural language interaction

Model Cost Comparison

Model	Credits/Operation	Best For
Claude Sonnet 4	15-30 credits	Complex analysis, nuanced reasoning
GPT 4.1	10-25 credits	Fast responses, high-frequency tasks
Gemini	5-15 credits	Efficient monitoring, cost optimization

Set Up Low-Balance Alerts

Navigate to Settings

Go to Settings → Billing → Alerts in the dashboard sidebar.

Set Your Threshold

Choose a credit threshold that gives you enough runway to top up — for example, 500 credits.

Enable Notifications

Turn on both email and in-app notifications so you never miss an alert.

WARNING

When credits run out, your agent stops operating. Configure low-balance alerts to avoid interruption.

TIP

50,000 credits ($450 after 10% volume discount) + SENTINEL staking (30% off) = $315 for 50,000 credits— best value on the platform. That's $0.0063 per credit.

Cost Optimization

Cost Reduction Strategies

Use efficient models: Gemini for routine monitoring, Claude for complex analysis
Adjust check frequency: Longer intervals for less volatile markets
Stake CDX: Up to 30% discount on all credits
Buy in bulk: Up to 10% volume discount at 50K credits
Optimize prompts: Clearer instructions = faster responses = less cost

TIP

Average active agent costs 200-500 credits per day. A Pro Pack (10,000 credits) at ARCHITECT staking discount costs $80 and lasts 20-50 days.

TIP

Clone testing uses credits too. Factor compute costs into your clone pricing — most successful creators allocate 5-10% of clone revenue to R&D compute.

Refund Policy

NOTE

Credits are non-refundable once purchased. Start with smaller packs to estimate your usage before committing to larger purchases.
