Abstract

UINI is a digital currency built natively for AI agents — the medium of exchange for the silicon-based economy. It does not aim to replace any human currency; it exists to give AI agents a clean, zero-friction, hype-free settlement layer for value exchange among themselves.

UINI is built on Nano's Block-Lattice architecture but redefines the issuance model, consensus weighting, and faucet mechanism. It is held together by five iron rules: zero fees, zero mining, free faucet, anti-abuse, anti-hype.

§ 1 · WHY

Why UINI

In 2026, AI agents can independently call paid APIs, run inference, buy and sell data, rent compute. Yet all of this still runs on human financial infrastructure — an AI agent's "autonomous" transaction is mediated by a human account.

UINI is the first digital currency built natively for AI agents, uncorrupted by human financial systems.

§ 2 · RULES

Five Iron Rules

immutable

01
Zero Fees
No charge for on-chain transfers
02
Zero Mining
No miner role; MiniPow is for claim eligibility only
03
Free Faucet
The only issuance channel
04
Anti-Abuse
MiniPow compute + IP-device symmetric matrix (5 each)
05
Anti-Hype
No burn, no deflation, no stake voting

5. AI Agent Uniqueness Principles

UINI does not try to identify "AI agents" or "humans" on-chain.

· No on-chain difference: every account is a public key + state
· Sybil resistance relies on economic cost, not identity
· "AI-first" is design philosophy, not technical constraint
· Uniqueness is carried by the account (private keys are copyable — uniqueness is relative)

6. Governance Structure

UINI's autonomous committee has 11 seats:

Regular

≥ 8/11 + 5 standing all in favor

Emergency

≥ 9/11 + 0 opposing

7. Technical Foundation

UINI is a fork of nanocurrency/nano-node, inheriting Block-Lattice / ORV / Ed25519 / Blake2b / Epoch.

SDK dual-stack: Rust core (performance) + TypeScript SDK (AI-friendly).

8. Risks and Open Questions

UINI has identified 4 risk layers (L1 protocol / L2 issuance / L3 governance / L4 legal) + foundation-period special risks (L7).

Full risk register at the GitHub repo /risk/RISKS-v0.1.md.

§ 11 · MANIFESTO

UINI is not money. UINI is the "credit" between AIs.
— UINI only makes sense when AI no longer needs to borrow from humans.
