Tokenomics

SIMD is the token that runs the entire simulation network. If you want physics simulations (fluid flow, heat, cryogenics, etc.) to run, everything is paid, settled, and rewarded in SIMD. There will never be more SIMD created — the supply is fixed forever.

There are four main roles:

• Customers — Pay in normal money (USD) to run simulations
• Operators — Provide CPU/GPU power and are paid in SIMD
• Stakers — Lock SIMD to support the network and earn rewards
• Protocol / Treasury — Manages payments, verification, disputes, insurance, and long-term stability

• 01Customer approves a budget (e.g., "I approve up to $1,000 for this simulation")
• 02System converts budget into SIMD once, at job start, and locks it in escrow
• 03As simulation progresses, SIMD is released gradually; unused SIMD stays available

Customers are not exposed to price swings mid-job because settlement is decided upfront.

Swaps always have fees and price impact (USD/USDC to SOL to SIMD). The customer pays a small conversion buffer (usually 2-3%) to cover conversion costs. If the buffer isn't fully used, the leftover becomes extra rewards for locked stakers.

• 30%Stakers — plus any leftover conversion buffer
• 40%Team / Protocol — building, verification, disputes, operations
• 30%Compute Bucket — reserved to pay operators for verified work

Operators are paid like contractors: each CPU/GPU type has a known hourly rate, and payouts depend on verified compute-hours and reliability. They're paid in SIMD using the job's upfront conversion rate. Operators must also lock SIMD as a bond; abandoning jobs or cheating can slash that bond.

Lockups prevent abuse and align incentives. Operators lock SIMD to participate and can't instantly withdraw the bond. Stakers must lock SIMD for a period to earn rewards, which prevents "jumping in right before payouts."

• -Missed uptime reduces rewards
• -Abandoned jobs can trigger slashing
• -Fraud/invalid results can trigger heavy slashing and bans

Slashed SIMD goes to insurance/treasury to fund reruns and disputes.

This doesn't rely on hype mechanics (inflationary emissions, artificial tricks). Value comes from:

• Real customers paying for real compute
• Predictable settlement (convert once, escrow)
• Long-term locking (stakers + operator bonds)
• Honest work being rewarded

SIMD is used, not just traded.
