$PSI is a compute commodity — like oil or a GPU, you can use it or hold it. A hard cap, a treasury that recycles every credit instead of burning it, and real scarcity underneath: Aura compute is finite, and demand only grows.
Every credit a company spends returns to our treasury and is sold again. Supply stays fixed; the same coins keep circulating through the economy. Burning would throw away something we can reuse — recycling keeps the float working and the supply honest.
One fixed pool of $PSI, circulating. Buy it, use it on Aura compute, and the spent credit comes home to the treasury to be sold again.
A company buys $PSI from our treasury with USD — or a holder buys it on the open market. Same fixed pool, two doors.
The credits are theirs. Unspent credits just sit — like coins left in a drawer — quietly tightening the available float.
Compute runs on the Aura device, metered privately on-device. The credit is consumed as work is done.
At refill, spent credits settle back to the treasury on-chain — and are resold to the next customer. The loop closes.
The work stays in the room. Only the bill touches the chain — and only when you choose to refill.
Compute is metered on your Aura device. When you load documents or credits from a laptop, that transfer runs over AuraConnect — near-field Bluetooth, not the internet. No server sees it; there is no network path to intercept.
Physical proximity is the security boundary. The data stays with you.
When you top up, AuraConnect opens a short online window: the credits you consumed settle back to the treasury on-chain, and your new credits load. One batched step, initiated by you.
The chain records that a balance settled — never what you did. The content never goes public; only the billing does.
You don't have to use it to want it. $PSI is a fixed-supply commodity backed by compute — and compute is the scarcest input in the economy. Oil, NVIDIA chips, memory: the world's critical commodities move on scarcity, and the firms that depend on them have never had a fixed price. $PSI is the same — except the supply can never grow.
A hard cap of 10 billion $PSI. The treasury recycles spent credits — it never mints new ones. Scarcity you can verify on-chain.
Every Aura device in a room is demand for compute. More devices, more compute, more pull on the same fixed pool.
Scarce AI compute capacity is already bought and sold over the counter at a premium today — short-term capacity has priced near double long-term deals. A fixed claim on that scarcity behaves the same way.
The scarcity only holds if the supply is honest — so total issuance is locked at 10 billion $PSI, and the treasury is built to recycle spent credits and resell them rather than print new ones. That hard cap, verifiable on-chain, is what gives the commodity its floor.
Like filling a tank with gas: a company buys $PSI and spends it on compute right away — pay the going rate, get the work done. No wallet, key, or gas fees to handle. The same way a buyer of any commodity just pays spot and uses it. Big firms already live with the moving price of oil, GPUs, and memory; compute is no different.
Not everyone burns the oil the day they buy it. A fixed supply of a resource the world needs more of is something you can simply hold — and the hard 10 billion cap means no one can print more while demand climbs. No device required; the same pool the whole economy runs on.
