The settlement rail for the compute economy. A RAW contract pays only for what was proven to be delivered — AI inference, GPU compute, or hash rate — settled atomically on Canton Network.
The world's largest derivatives exchanges announced compute futures within the same period. They declared compute a tradeable commodity. Neither contract specifies a delivery-verification mechanism. The physical leg does not exist.
Delivery claims are self-reported. Invoices, screenshots, and goodwill are the audit trail. A buyer of AI inference or GPU capacity has no independent, machine-verifiable record.
A mid-market data center's delivery history is trapped in private billing systems — invisible to new customers, lenders, and insurers. Capital concentrates in hyperscalers by default.
The new compute futures are cash-settled against price indices. Every mature commodity market ultimately required a verified physical delivery mechanism. Compute does not yet have one.
Every element subordinates to the integrity of the delivery record.
The RAW Box signs at the source.
A hardware-secured device deploys at the producer's site. It reads delivery telemetry from the inference serving layer, GPU management stack, or mining pool, and signs every reading with keys generated inside its trusted execution environment. Keys never leave the device.
Daml templates on Canton Network.
Buyer and producer enter a physically-settled delivery contract. Asset DNA maintains an append-only lifecycle record per physical asset — identity, attestation history, and every verified delivery proof.
Signed evidence accumulates against the contract.
Signed delivery evidence accumulates on-ledger. Provider-side and consumer-side telemetry cross-check each other. For hash rate, the mining pool provides an independent third measurement.
Atomic delivery-versus-payment, non-custodial.
An independent assurance layer verifies usage records, then payment moves directly from buyer to producer in regulated stablecoins. RAW never holds customer funds. Under-delivery automatically reduces the payout.
Because these products share one rail, parties can operate across asset classes — both contracts attested by the same on-site device.
Measured in millions of tokens per hour — input and output — with throughput and TTFT attested at the edge.
The attested GPU-hour: one hour of a specified accelerator, device class, and configuration. Heterogeneity disclosed at contract formation.
Mining operations produce continuously measurable hashrate. Delivery independently confirmed at the mining pool.
Both futures markets are cash-settled against price indices. Neither specifies a delivery-verification mechanism. RAW is the physical leg.
RAW Protocol turns inference, compute, and hashrate into programmable financial instruments on Canton Network — giving institutional capital verified, real-time exposure to $433B+ in energy assets, generating 8–18% target yields, settled atomically on institutional-grade rails.
Energy and delivery telemetry attested at the point of generation — before it ever reaches a contract.
Yield flows directly to the facility operator's wallet. RAW never holds or pools operator funds.
Settlement rides the same Canton Network infrastructure trusted across regulated capital markets.
RAW Box hardware installs alongside existing metering and SCADA systems — no facility downtime required.
