LOWTIDE for holders

LOWTIDE sells open-model AI inference from real, bonded GPUs at prices that drop when those GPUs are idle, settled in USDG on Robinhood Chain.

$TIDE is launching soon. The LOWTIDE protocol itself is launching in phases on Robinhood Chain: it is built and in testing, not yet on mainnet. See the roadmap for what is live.

Why it matters

  • Real compute, not resold credits. Every model is open-weight and served by a registered, bonded host. LOWTIDE doesn't proxy any third-party API account.
  • The discount comes from idle time. Hosts post 168 hourly prices, and router-measured load can cut a quiet host's live price to 0.4× its posted price.
  • Your balance is cash. Prepaid USDG sits in a vault that you can withdraw from. Withdraw-all completes within 2 hours.
  • Agents pay as they go. Payment channels and x402 let an agent pay per call with no account.
  • Proof, not promises. Every response carries a usage record signed by the router and the host, and hourly totals go on chain. Hosts bond USDG and are audited for model swaps.

What $TIDE does

$TIDE is a utility token, launching soon. Its hooks in the LOWTIDE protocol switch on after written legal review.

  • Fee tiers. Lock $TIDE to lower the 4% LOWTIDE fee by up to 1 percentage point.
  • Early Window access. First access to Windows, LOWTIDE's tradable capacity reservations.
  • Host bond weight. $TIDE bonded by a host ranks it higher in routing, capped at +25%, and is slashable.
  • Burn. 5% of fees buys and burns $TIDE.

Holding $TIDE alone earns nothing. It is not a share of fees, a yield or an investment.

Upcoming catalysts

These are planned, in order, with no dates set:

  1. External contract audit, then mainnet protocol contracts on Robinhood Chain with a 500 USDG per-buyer beta cap.
  2. Real GPU hosts and launch models on the OpenAI-compatible API.
  3. Agent payments: channels and x402 on mainnet, plus night jobs.
  4. Windows: tradable future-capacity reservations, plus the sealed tier.
  5. $TIDE hooks switched on, but only after legal review.
