White-Label Partner Program
Run Elis on your own miner fleet and pay a share of the savings instead of per-token — enrollment, statements, autopay, and leaving.
In the white-label partner program you supply the hardware and Elis supplies the orchestration. Your users would naturally reach for a frontier model; Elis answers the same questions on smaller models. You are billed a percentage of the difference — not per token.
Understand the bill
The monthly amount is one formula, applied to a period you can audit:
net savings = (frontier baseline cost - your actual cost) - your energy cost amount due = fee% x net savings
- Frontier baseline — the market-average list price of the major labs' flagship frontier models, not an Elis price. It is resolved from the live catalog and snapshotted onto each statement.
- Your actual cost — $0 for inference on your own fleet. Elis never charges you for your own hardware.
- Your energy cost — netted out of the savings, so the fee applies to the figure after your electricity.
- fee% — a volume slide (it drops as volume rises), or a fixed contract rate if one was negotiated.
The statement and the pre-sales savings calculator run the same function, so the bill proves the pitch.
Get an eligible fleet in place
Enrollment requires at least one schedulable miner the organization owns. Two kinds count:
- Dedicated miners you register — see Dedicated Miners.
- BYOK / connected providers added under Settings → Infrastructure → Add a provider; their models sync in as private org miners.
With zero eligible miners the Join our program button stays disabled.
Join from the Usage tab
Open your organization, switch to the Usage tab, and scroll to White-Label Partner Program. The panel shows your current fee band and eligible miner count before you commit.
Click Join our program, then Confirm — lock to org miners & join.
Know what the pool lock means
Joining forces org miners only: dedicated-miners-only is switched on and community miners are switched off, and settings writes that try to re-enable the community pool are rejected while you are enrolled. This is deliberate — no Elis-hosted cost lands on a partner run, which is what makes the metering clean.
The consequence is also deliberate: if your fleet is down, requests fail rather than falling back to community miners.
Read a monthly statement
The first statement is drafted after your first full month. Each row in the Monthly statements table shows the period, status, total tokens, frontier cost, net savings, fee percentage, and amount due, with links to the Stripe invoice and PDF once issued.
Status moves in one direction:
draft -> finalized -> invoiced -> paid
Every rate on a statement is frozen at close. A later catalog price change never restates a statement you have already been shown.
Turn on autopay (optional)
Tick Autopay in the panel to charge statements to the organization's payment method automatically. With no card on file, the toggle sends you to Stripe's hosted setup page, which saves a card and charges nothing; you return to the panel when it completes.
Card details are stored by Stripe, never by Elis. Leave autopay off and Stripe emails a payable invoice with net-30 terms instead.
Leave the program
Leave program closes out a final pro-rated statement and then releases the pool lock, so the organization can re-enable community miners if it wants to. Statements already closed stay exactly as they were.
