OPEN COMMUNICATION

AI today is centralized: prompts are logged, models are filtered, access can be revoked. Private messaging is fragmented. Open Communication unifies both on one network. A thin orchestrator routes work to contributed GPUs and blind-relays encrypted messages; users pay in credits; the people who provide compute earn the majority of what they serve. No single party owns the network, sees your prompts, or reads your messages.

A Next.js app and OpenAI-compatible API sit in front of a stateful WebSocket orchestrator. It queues jobs, routes each to the fastest idle worker, reserves credits before dispatch, streams results back, and settles on completion. For messaging it is a blind relay — it stores and forwards ciphertext only. Contributors run a native or browser WebGPU worker advertising the models and capabilities they serve.

Credits are the unit of account: 1 credit = $0.01. Chat is priced per 1K tokens by model; images are flat-priced. Credits are reserved before a job and settled to the real cost (refunded on failure) via an atomic reserve→settle→refund ledger. Workers earn 70% of what they serve; a 10% fee on each job flows to stakers. Credits are bought with ETH or USDT through an on-chain verified deposit into your own per-account address, at the live ETH/USD rate.

$0C is an ERC-20 token on Robinhood Chain, with liquidity on Uniswap v4. It buys credits, is staked to earn protocol fees and boost worker priority, settles worker earnings, and governs protocol parameters. Protocol margin funds the treasury, and a share of revenue buys back and burns $0C — against a fixed 1B supply, real usage creates continuous deflationary pressure.

Deposits (ETH/USDT) and protocol margin accrue to the treasury as a reserve held in ETH. Withdrawals pay out in ETHat the live oracle price, automatically and within per-request and daily caps.

Crucially, the reserve is not backed by $0C itself. Backing user redemptions with a volatile, self-issued token invites a reflexive bank-run/insolvency spiral, so $0C accrues value the safe way — through fee-funded buyback-and-burn — while redemptions are always covered by real ETH.

Staking uses accumulated-reward-per-share accounting. Each settled job's fee raises a global reward index in proportion to total stake; a staker's claimable reward is their stake times the index change since they last interacted — exact, O(1), and independent of when they staked. Stake, unstake, and claim are atomic.

Direct messages are encrypted on-device with X25519 + XChaCha20-Poly1305; private keys never leave the device and the relay handles only ciphertext, including store-and-forward for offline recipients. Prompts and generated media are never persisted — only billing is.

One documented exception. Formally-verified mathematics is served by Harmonic's Aristotle, an external API. When you select the verified-math model — or an agent calls the verified_math tool — that problem is transmitted to a third party under their terms, and is therefore not covered by the guarantees above. Every such step is labelled ⚠ leaves network in the interface. All other inference runs on contributed GPUs inside the network.

Every credit spent on a job splits deterministically at settlement — the worker that did the work takes the majority, stakers share a slice, and the remainder is protocol margin used to buy back and burn $0C.

$0C has a fixed 1B supply and no inflation. Worker-reward emissions (25%) are released from a reserve on a decaying schedule that front-loads early contributors and tapers over time. Team & contributor allocations (15%) vest linearly over four years with a one-year cliff. Community, treasury, and liquidity unlock against milestones. Because supply is capped, sustained fee-driven buyback-and-burn works against a fixed ceiling.

As the network decentralizes, $0C holders govern the parameters that matter — fee rates, the worker earn share, model policy, treasury spend, and reward emissions — through on-chain proposals and voting. The goal is credible neutrality: no single operator can censor a model, revoke a user, or unilaterally change the economics.

Point any OpenAI client at the orchestrator; your token is the API key.

curl $ORCH/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"llama3.2",
       "messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hello"}],
       "stream":true}'

Every worker follows the same loop, so the orchestrator treats browser tabs and datacenter GPUs identically:

Some models exceed any single contributor's memory. 0_C's roadmap serves them with pipeline-parallel inference: a transformer is split into contiguous layer blocks spread across a cohort of machines, with speculative decoding to hide wide-area latency. To the caller it is one job; under the hood a coordinated group of workers serves it together and shares the reward.

TGE = token generation event · proposed, subject to change

Orchestrator

The stateful service that routes jobs, tracks credits, and blind-relays messages.

Worker

A contributed GPU (native or browser) that serves inference and earns.

Credit

The stable unit of account; 1 credit = $0.01.

$0C

The network's fixed-supply (1B) token — ownership, staking, and settlement layer.

Reserve → settle

Credits are held before a job and finalized to the real cost after.

Blind relay

The server forwards encrypted messages without ever seeing plaintext.

Reward-per-share

O(1) accounting that splits staking rewards fairly regardless of timing.

Buyback & burn

Protocol fees repurchase and destroy $0C, reducing supply.

Pipeline-parallel

Splitting one large model across several machines to serve it cooperatively.

Streaming chat, image generation, encrypted messaging, the credit ledger, staking, and on-chain ETH/USDT deposits are live. The $0C token in the token section is a design specification — not yet minted or tradeable. Nothing here is an offer to sell a security or investment advice; token parameters are proposals subject to change before any launch.
