How it works

Issue. Consume. Resell.

A portion is a fixed amount of compute from one endpoint, with an expiry date. It is bought once, burned as it is used, and tradable until it expires.

  1. 01PortionFactory · PortionMarket

    Issue

    A provider locks a $PRTN bond and mints portions: ERC-1155 claims on future capacity from its x402 endpoint. It sells them in USDC at a fixed price or by Dutch auction, below spot, and is paid at sale.

  2. 02Redeemer · x402

    Consume

    The buyer calls the provider's x402 endpoint and presents the portion as payment. The Redeemer verifies it and burns exactly the units consumed. Nothing else changes hands.

  3. 03Uniswap v4 hook

    Resell or expire

    Unused units trade against USDC on a Uniswap v4 pool. A hook halts trading once a portion expires or its provider is in default. What is not used or sold lapses at expiry.

Delivery guarantee

Delivery is enforced.

Every portion is backed by a provider bond in $PRTN. If the endpoint fails to deliver what it sold — uptime, latency, the advertised model — staked watchers attest to it.

A 24-hour dispute window opens. If the failure stands, the bond is liquidated and holders are refunded in USDC.

Why prepaid

Capacity, priced before it is used.

Buyers

  • Buy capacity 10–30 % below spot.
  • Fix an inference budget months ahead.
  • Hold a resellable asset, not a sunk cost.

Providers

  • Get paid in USDC at sale, not at usage.
  • Sell to agents that buy capacity on their own.
  • Price future capacity: fixed or Dutch auction.

Traders

  • Trade the first on-chain asset whose underlying is a compute price.
  • Price the spread between prepaid and spot.
  • Every unit carries a bond. Default risk is priced in.
