Hayes proposes pricing AI compute via FLOP payment records and trading future compute
- —Compute price derived from the FLOP-to-work ratio in block receipts
- —Up to 30-day compute reservations standardized as tradable FCU
- —Quarterly futures and cash-settled perpetuals proposed on top of reservations
- —Reservation rights and derivatives are concepts, not live products
Why it matters: If Flop Network becomes a payment rail for AI agents, its FLOP-to-compute ratio could set a global benchmark for compute pricing.
