01PHASE 1
Metering attestation
Signed, append-only usage statements per customer and per model, reproducible by a third party from the records. The evidence a token-backed credit line is underwritten on.
Token
TOKEN ECONOMICS · IN DEVELOPMENT
Tokens are a commodity.
Account for them like one.
Unify Token turns LLM inference tokens into something a finance team, a bank or a counterparty can work with: metering they can audit, a ledger denominated in tokens, and contracts that lock price and volume.
Inference capacity behaves like electricity. It is gone the moment it is not used, while the entitlement to it can be stored, pooled and transferred. Unlike electricity, the price of a given capability falls roughly ten-fold a year while volume explodes. Everything here is built on those two facts.

01 / WHAT IT DOES
Three layers.
In this order.
Each one is a prerequisite for the next,
and the first needs no capital at all.
02PHASE 2
Token ledger
Entitlements denominated in tokens, not dollars. Prepaid pools, pooling across models and subsidiaries, carry-over, internal transfer and chargeback.
03PHASE 3
Token contracts
Forwards and fixed-for-floating swaps written as ordinary commercial contracts, matched rather than warehoused, on open-weight models first because they are the only fungible grade.
02 / HOW IT WORKS
From a request
to something a bank can read.
Meter at the gateway
Every request that passes a UnifyAI gateway is counted where it is served, with its model, tokenizer and time slot. No estimate, no self-report.
Attest the statement
Usage rolls into statements that are signed and chained, so a lender or an auditor can re-derive every figure from the records instead of taking our word.
Put it to work
Pledge the statement to a bank, pool the entitlement across teams, or lock next quarter's price and volume with a counterparty.
03 / STATUS
What exists today.
And what does not.
We would rather say what is true than describe a target as shipped. Accounts are created by invitation while the first metering source is connected.
No pricing, rates or availability are announced yet.
