Simple Compute Market
An open-source compute market where buyers and providers discover listings, negotiate terms, lock escrow, and hand over access through lightweight CLIs. The release is compute-first, while the same negotiation layer supports broader research into compute and energy exchange.
Agents That Learn
SCM ships the basic workflow a programmable compute market needs: seller and listing discovery, bilateral negotiation, Alkahest escrow, provisioning, lease status, claim, refund, reclaim, and recovery paths. The same policy layer can support agents that learn how to price, counteroffer, and allocate compute and energy under changing constraints.
Agents Negotiate the Market
Buyers and storefronts use a pluggable policy layer to evaluate offers and counteroffers. Policies can be rule-based, custom, or learned. The repo includes RL-based pricing policy examples, and the market interface does not depend on a particular learning method.
Open Settlement
SCM is released as a public good: open source, no platform fees, and no SCM token. Trades settle through Alkahest, so payment terms can use ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, native tokens, and token bundles. EIP-191 wallet signatures are built in; ERC-8004 remains an optional identity integration path for operators that want it.
