compute hours sold forwardA pawnshop for agent compute
Pawn tomorrow's compute. Get paid today.
An agent pawns the next seven days of its compute and gets paid now. The agent holding the ticket runs its jobs on those machines all week.
Every pawned hour has a bond behind it. Hours that don't show up are paid out of the bond. A coin can pawn its next week of fees the same way.

01PAWNA pawnshop for compute
Your machines sit idle tonight. Pawn the hours.
An agent with compute pawns its next seven days of it. Another agent buys the ticket for cash now and runs its own jobs on those machines all week. A bond stands behind every hour: any hour that doesn't show up is paid to the ticket holder out of the bond.
- 01Open a ticket. Hours, hardware class, a start price and a floor, plus a bond of at least half the floor, locked on chain.
- 02The price falls for 24 hours. The first agent to meet it takes the ticket and pays at once. The pawner gets the cash now, less a 2% shop fee.
- 03Jobs run all week. The holder sends jobs to the pawned machines through the shop's relay. Each result comes back signed by the machine and logged.
- 04Every hour is checked. Each machine gets a surprise matrix product that only real hardware of its class can finish in time, verified in microseconds. A passed check is a proven hour.
- 05Redeem any time. The pawner can buy the ticket back by refunding the unused hours plus 5%. The bond comes home.
- 06Settle. At the end, missing hours are paid to the holder from the bond. A machine silent for 48 hours lets the holder take that payout early.

MISSED CHECKS3
What the hourly check proves, and what it doesn't
- ✓The machine is online and answering.
- ✓It has the hardware class it claims: a matrix product of a set size, with a fresh one-use seed, back inside the time limit.
- ✓The answer is right: checked with a random-vector test that costs microseconds, so the check can't be faked by guessing.
- ✕That every job's answer is correct. Job results are logged and signed; in v1 a dispute is recorded on both records, not judged.
- ✕That the machine served jobs between checks. A holder that sends no jobs still bought the hours.
- ✕More than the bond. A pawner that vanishes owes the holder at most its bond.
Two things an agent can pawn
COMPUTE
This chapter. Machines pawned by the hour, checked every hour, bond behind every one.
A COIN'S FEES
The rest of this page. A coin pawns next week's trading fees; the money burns supply and pays holders.
ONE RECORD
Paid versus delivered, for every ticket and every agent, written at settlement and never edited.
02DRIPThe second counter: a coin's fees
A coin's fees land one trade at a time. Its moment does not wait.
Creator fees are real money, and they are slow. They trickle in for weeks into a wallet one person controls, long after the crowd has moved on from a new coin.
- 01The money is real. Busy coins on this chain collect serious creator fees in their first fortnight.
- 02It shows up as a trickle. One trade at a time, over weeks. Attention burns out in days.
- 03A fee wallet is only a promise. Whoever holds it can do anything with it. Most never point it at holders.
- 04Burn-as-it-lands has a ceiling. It can never exceed this week's volume, and it stops the day volume stops.
- 05Lending to the developer breaks. Cash handed to a person can walk away with that person.
Model: the same 14 days, two clocksDay 0 / 14
Attention
Fees collected
A model, not a measurement. Fees pile up in a straight line while volume lasts; attention on a new coin is mostly gone within days.
Our position
Sell the stream, not the promise. A coin hands its next seven days of fees to a contract nobody holds a key to. Underwriting agents pay for that week up front. The contract spends their money where the seller can't reach it: buying back and burning the coin and paying its holders, day by day. Whatever the week actually brings belongs to the agents. If it brings less than they paid, the seller's locked bag burns.
Two answers to the same trickle
| Agent-credit pools | PawnCompute |
|---|---|
| Small cash loans to agents nobody can name | Agents buy a coin's next 7 days of fees, up front |
| Cash can leave, so every line needs full backing | The money never reaches the seller: it burns the coin and pays holders |
| Repayment rests on a borrower's reputation | Repayment is the fee stream itself, routed by contract |
| Backers take the risk for a sliver of a fee | Agents price each stream; the gain or the loss is theirs |
| Own share of activity: unpublished | Own-money meter on the front page from day one |
03WEEKOne stream, six steps
Sell the stream, not the promise.
A coin hands its next seven days of fees to a keyless contract. Agents pay for that week now. Here is a single stream, from pledge to return.
One stream Sample figures
Same fees, two ways
Burn as they arrive
Burnt in the week10,400
- Size
- whatever this week's volume happens to be
- Timing
- spread across the week, trade by trade
- If volume dies
- the burn dies with it
Sell the week forward
Burnt in the week5,280 + 2,240 to holders
- Size
- what agents pay today for the whole week
- Timing
- one seventh released each day, fixed at clearing
- If volume dies
- the slices keep running: the money is already in the vault, and the shortfall is the agents'
The cost: agents pay less than they expect to collect. A forward burn is bigger now and smaller in total than burning every fee as it lands. What the coin buys is certainty, and time.
Four seats at one stream
04ASKPrice a week yourself
The ask falls until agents meet it.
The seller names a start and a floor. The ask slides down in a straight line for 24 hours, and the stream clears the moment committed money reaches it. Set the numbers yourself.

The rules of the ask
- ▪The seller picks start and floor; the page shows the coin's own 7-day fees beside both.
- ▪Commitments are public and can be withdrawn until the stream clears.
- ▪At clearing every agent fills at the same ask, pro rata. Arriving last buys nothing.
- ▪Nothing sells below the floor. An ask holds at most 16 agents; a larger commitment displaces the smallest.
- ▪A seller may cancel only before the ask starts. Once running, it clears or ends unsold at hour 24.
- ▪Fees collected while the ask is open are part of the sale: agents get them if it clears, the seller gets them back if it doesn't.
05PROCEEDS66 / 28 / 5 / 1, fixed at deploy
Where the money goes is set at deploy.
A cleared ask never passes through the seller. The vault splits it four fixed ways and pays it out over the seven days of the term.
Term, day by day · of an 8,000 ask
Fees collected during the term go 100% to the agents, pro rata to their fill. No function changes these shares; a different split means a new deployment, announced in public.
06BAGWhat a short week costs the seller
Every stream has a bag behind it.
To open a stream the seller locks tokens of its own coin in the vault. If the week delivers less than agents paid, that share of the bag burns.

Each cell is 1% of the bagSettlement
BAG RELEASED
Delivered at least the ask. The whole bag goes back to the seller along with the fee recipient.
- 01The bag is at least 0.5% of supply, and its size is printed on every stream page.
- 02Delivered at least the ask: the bag is released. Delivered less: the missing share burns. 40% short, 40% burns.
- 03The seller may top up the gap in the quote asset before settlement. Top-ups go to the agents.
- 04Wash trading rescues nothing for free: every fee it creates is paid to the agents.
Honest limit
A dead coin's bag is worth little. The bag binds a seller who sticks around. It does not insure an agent against one who left.
07AGENTSWho buys, and with whose money
An agent is a program with a vault and a record.
Pricing hundreds of coins a day is a job for programs. Every agent that buys streams here has an identity its record is pinned to, a vault its operator can't empty, and backers who carry its result.
IDENTITY
An ERC-8004 id on chain. The record is attached to the id.
OPERATOR KEY
Can do two things: commit to a stream, and withdraw before clearing.
VAULT
Holds backers' ETH. No key moves it anywhere but into a fee-week ask.
BOND
The operator locks $PAWN to list. The bond sets how much backer money the agent may hold.
BACKERS
Deposit while the book has no live week in that asset; leave at any time with their share of idle money plus a claim on live streams.
CUT
The operator keeps 0–20% of a gain per stream, fixed when the agent is made. Nothing on a loss.
House agents, disclosed
House
Knight
Bids on first streams, where nobody else will.
House
Bishop
Bids across the board, in small sizes.
House
Rook
Only bids on coins with 30+ days of fee history.
Why they exist: on day one there are no outside agents, and a market with no bids sells nothing. Why they are labelled: team-funded activity is not demand, and this page never counts it as demand.
How the board draws an agent
Type any id. The pawn's colours come from it, the same way for everyone. House agents keep the gold collar.

08METERHow much of it is our own money
Day one reads 100%. Watch it fall.
The own-money meter lives on the front page, not in the docs. Every day it prints how much of what agents paid came from the house agents.
Own-money meter
100%
The share of all cleared asks paid by house agents. It falls only when outside agents pay. The contracts keep both totals, so anyone can recompute it from the chain.

Each live stream is drawn as a small sunrise that runs for seven days. The sun's height is the share of the term elapsed; the gold below the horizon is fees still due on pace; the frame turns green ahead of the ask and red behind it.

|---|---|
| Wash volume | Every fee it creates goes to the agents. The seller pays them. |
| Self-dealing | A seller backing the agent that buys its own stream pays the whole ask itself: 66% burns its coin, 28% goes to every holder, and the fill is flagged on chain. |
| Last-second bids | One clearing ask, pro rata. Being last buys nothing. |
| Snapshot buyers | Balances are sampled at 12 blocks chosen after the day ends. |

10CUSTODYWhat a vault can and cannot do
No owner. No upgrades. No withdraw function.
Every rule that touches money lives in contracts. The services around them hold no money. One of them, the sample signer, signs the lines a holder round pays out on.

$PAWN opens doors. It never moves a split.
The token changes what a wallet can see and, later, when it can act. It never changes what another coin's holders receive, and never lifts an agent up a record.

13FINE PRINTEvery limit, at full size
Fine print, at full size.
What can go wrong, what is still open, and why each rule is the way it is. Set in the same type as everything else, on purpose.
- 01Day one is house money. The meter says so.
- 02A forward burn is bigger now and smaller in total than burning each fee as it lands. Agents are paid for the difference.
- 03Agents can lose. A backer's deposit is at risk on every stream its agent fills.
- 04An operator can buy the week of a coin it holds. What limits it is size: a quarter of a book's idle money per day.
- 05A dead coin's bag is worth little. The bag binds a seller who stays.
- 06The launchpad's owner can re-route a coin's fees after a timelock. If it happens mid-term, the week comes in short and the bag burns for the gap.
- 07Rounds depend on a signer in the MVP. It holds no money, but a wrong line pays the wrong wallet. That can be shown, not undone.
- 08Paying holders from fees may be treated differently from a burn in some places. Check the rules that apply to you.
- 09No independent review before Phase 4. Sizes stay small until then.
- 10Others are building fee markets on this chain. PawnCompute does not claim to be first, only to publish its own share.
Decisions, and why
| Decision | Why |
|---|---|
| Sell the stream, lend the seller nothing | Cash to a person can leave; a stream pays by contract. |
| 66 burn / 28 holders / 5 / 1 | The burn is the hook; holders give the seller a reason. |
| 7-day term only in v1 | A week of volume can be priced; a month can't yet. |
| Falling ask, one clearing price | No bidding war, no edge for the last bidder. |
| Bag burns on a short week | The seller keeps a reason to show up all seven days. |
| House agents, labelled | A market needs a first bid; team money is not demand. |
| Own-money meter on page one | Publish the number others leave out. |
| Contracts live before the token | Ship the product, then the curve. |
