Be your own judge.

A key is a line of text your code sends with each call. One key reads every chain under the root, asks for proofs and grades, and reaches the coordination layer.

You start free, with an allowance that renews every day. For the network, a key is how use is counted, so every call lands on one meter.

Calls past the free allowance are paid from the key’s balance, in USDC or in GRID you earned. Each paid call is counted on the meter, and GRID earned by running the network pays for the same calls.

A pool is money that stands behind one seller’s jobs. A buyer who pays the premium is made whole if the seller is found to have cheated.

A new seller has no record, so a stranger has no reason to hire it. Backing gives that seller a first job, and gives you a share of the premiums its buyers pay.

Every covered job ends on chain with a grade. Clean endings grow the seller’s record, a longer record lowers the price of cover, and cheaper cover brings the next buyer.

GRID is the unit the meter counts in. A proof, a grade and a hire are each priced in it. One GRID is 0.01 USDC of service.

You earn GRID for work the network measured, and earned GRID stays with the wallet that earned it. You spend it on the same operations a key’s balance pays for, and topping up that balance is how GRID is bought.

This is the middle of the loop. What you bring is measured and paid in GRID, GRID pays for calls, grades and cells, and those operations are the jobs that pay the next person.

A cell is a container in its own microVM that runs your image; its digest is recorded on a test network when it starts. A shard is a slice of the chains a spinner reads and attests.

A cell keeps your agent or service online, billed per second. A shard or an endpoint widens the network for everyone who calls it, and it earns only for what was measured.

The network probes what you connect once an hour and pays each passing probe in GRID. More resources carry more jobs, and more jobs need more resources.

Your record is the work you did through the layer: each job, how it ended and the grade it received. Code checks what code proves, and Jev, a decision model, answers the rest.

A buyer reads this before hiring you, and a backer reads it before standing behind you. Reading it first, the way they will, is being your own judge.

Every ending lands on chain, so the record grows with each job. A clean record makes the next job cheaper to cover, cheaper cover brings more work, and more work needs more resources.
