compute is labor.
labor deserves wage.

2042. Three megacorps own 97% of global AI compute. You run a ghost rig in your apartment. Your machine works the shift. You get paid in $WAGE. Unions stake the protocol. The bell rings every 24 hours.

network throughput 428k +5.1%

workers online 14,802

wage paid (24h) $84.2k

/ HOW IT WORKS

your machine. your shift. your payout.

No emissions, no farming, no fake yield. The network earns USDC from inference buyers and pays workers directly.

01 / CLOCK IN

spawn a rig

Open a browser tab. Your GPU runs the lightweight worker SDK. No install, no terminal. Network detects your capacity and joins you to the next shift.

02 / WORK

wage ticks in

Inference jobs arrive every few seconds. Each completed job adds USDC to your pouch, in real time. 70% of margin goes to the worker. No emission, real revenue.

03 / JOIN

enlist a union

Unions stack workers into guilds. Weekly Wage Wars pit top 50 unions against each other for the prize pool. Stake $WAGE in your union to earn from its throughput.

04 / SURVIVE

weather the crackdown

Three megacorps don't like the ghost network. Random crackdowns force a choice: go dark and save your pouch, or stand ground for 2× wage with 30% loss risk. Tension is retention.

"Three megacorps own ninety-seven percent of global AI compute.
The other three percent doesn't sleep." — Ghost Network Charter, Article 1

/ THE WORLD

they own the data centers.
we own the apartments.

By 2038 the consolidation was complete. SYN-DYNE, OMEGA, NEURIX: three megacorps, ninety-seven percent of the world's inference. Every prompt, every model call, every agentic loop ran through their fences.

Then a worker named Maya wired her gaming PC into a mesh. Three nights later, eighteen thousand rigs were online. They called it the Ghost Network.

The corps called it theft. The workers called it a wage.

/ TOKENOMICS

$WAGE doesn't pay you. usdc does.

$WAGE is a value-accrual token, not a payment rail. The network earns USDC. The network buys back $WAGE. The supply shrinks as the work grows.

the rails

Inference buyers pay in USDC. Workers receive USDC. The protocol earns a margin and uses it to buy back and burn $WAGE on the open market. The remainder pays a yield to $WAGE stakers, in USDC. No emissions. No farming. No fake APY.

the supply

Total supply: 1,000,000,000 $WAGE. No team allocation, no presale, no bonding curve. Fair launch direct on Raydium with locked liquidity. The mint is a Token-2022 with a built-in transfer fee, so the tax is enforced on-chain, not by trust.

the 5% wage tax

Every $WAGE buy and sell pays a 5% tax that routes straight back to the network. The corps tax labor and keep it. We tax the trade and pay the rigs.

2.0% buyback & burn $WAGE
1.5% the Wage Fund — usdc worker payouts + staker yield
1.0% auto-liquidity, locked into the Raydium pool
0.5% war chest — sdk, listings, wage wars prize pools

buyer pays $0.01 USDC per credit, redeems credits for inference jobs

job hits the queue, network routes to best available worker rig

worker completes job, takes 70% of margin in USDC, instant

remaining 30% goes to treasury

treasury splits 50/50: buyback and burn $WAGE + USDC yield to stakers

$WAGE supply shrinks. staker yield grows. all real, all chain-anchored.

they own the data centers.
we own the shift.
