SIMD is the token that powers the entire simulation network. Every physics simulation, including fluid flow, heat transfer, and cryogenics, is paid, settled, and rewarded in SIMD.

The supply is fixed forever. No new SIMD will ever be created.

There are four main roles in the network:

• Customers: Pay in normal money (USD) to run simulations
• Operators: Provide CPU/GPU power and are paid in SIMD
• Stakers: Lock SIMD to support the network and earn rewards
• Protocol / Treasury: Manages payments, verification, disputes, and long-term stability

Customers are not exposed to price swings mid-job because settlement is decided upfront.

Swaps always have fees and price impact (USD/USDC → SOL → SIMD). The customer pays a small conversion buffer (usually 2–3%) to cover conversion costs.

If the buffer isn't fully used, the leftover becomes extra rewards for locked stakers.

Operators are paid like contractors: each CPU/GPU type has a known hourly rate, and payouts depend on verified compute-hours and reliability.

They're paid in SIMD using the job's upfront conversion rate. Operators must also lock SIMD as a bond, abandoning jobs or cheating can slash that bond.

Lockups prevent abuse and align incentives. Operators lock SIMD to participate and can't withdraw the bond instantly.

Stakers must lock SIMD for a period to earn rewards, which prevents "jumping in right before payouts."

• Missed uptime reduces rewards
• Abandoned jobs trigger slashing
• Fraud or invalid results can trigger heavy slashing and bans

Slashed SIMD goes to insurance/treasury to fund reruns and disputes.

This doesn't rely on hype mechanics, no inflationary emissions, no artificial tricks. Value comes from:

• Real customers: paying for real compute
• Predictable settlement: convert once, escrow
• Long-term locking: stakers + operator bonds
• Honest work: being rewarded

SIMD is used, not just traded.
