XP economy — earn, spend, admission

Deck slide 6 — XP settlement: earn paths, spend paths, [redacted]

XP is an internal settlement unit — airline miles for verified compute, not a token pitch.

Earn paths: knowledge upload, share widen, marketplace completion, telemetry probes (e.g. Victron VRM sync — promotional class, daily dedupe), conversion terminal events.

Spend paths: marketplace dispatch, William concierge, cross-tenant read license unlock.

[redacted]: Stripe fiat → spend gate + starter XP + beta enrollment. DEX not required for v0.1.

Network read market

Deck slide 7 — Read market: platform-quoted license, idempotent receipt

Owner completes job → enables network license → platform stores quoted XP (not owner-editable).

Viewer: paywall → explicit confirm → debit/credit split → idempotent receipt per viewer+grant.

First paid cross-tenant artifact economy rung — oracle pricing, not owner haggling. Live since July 2026.
