Value Networks Are Everywhere

Every day, people create value for each other — hosting providers, local businesses, open-source contributors, freelancers, cooperatives and more. But the tools for tracking and exchanging that value are still centralized, expensive, and designed for someone else's business model.

Unyt changes the equation. It gives any group the ability to define its own units of account, set its own rules, and run its own payment. No platform rent. No custody risk. No permission required.

Custom Currencies

Design your own currency system to shape and enable value flows: From a low to no fee L2, to mutual credit, to tracking membership, to managing inventory across your supply chain.

  • Configurable rules: Agreements, credit limits, fees (if any), and ßmembership requirements
  • Any group size: From a neighborhood to a global network
  • Standalone or interoperable: The native interoperable p2p groupware is Moss
Example: Unyt's accounting engine was built to power HoloFuel for the Holo Hosting network, but also enables any group or project custom design their own currency system.

Smart Agreements

Every Smart Agreement is structured as a sequence of actions, each taken by an agent. Architecting from agency unlocks new possibilities.

  • Asynchronous and offline-capable: Actions record locally and propagate when participants reconnect. No need for all parties to be online simultaneously.
  • One platform, many configurations: The same agreement patterns can power custom designed currencies, automated billing, non-custodial escrow, revenue sharing, and more.
Example: A DePIN network automates proof-of-service billing. Devices log work, dedicated agents generate verifiable invoices, payments process individually or in bulk.

Multi-Currency Trades

Atomic trades across multiple currencies in a single transaction. Trade currencies directly without having to go through intermediary conversion steps.

  • Pay, Request, and Trade workflows with automatic fund reclamation
  • Any combination of currencies in a single atomic transaction
  • No trading pairs required — every currency can be exchanged directly with every other
  • Full audit trail for every trade
Example: In DeFi, moving value between projects means hopping through trading pairs: Token A to ETH to USDT to Token B. Each hop needs a liquid pair, charges gas fees, and adds delay. With Unyt, parties negotiate directly and trade any combination of currencies atomically. The result is that every currency can be traded for every other — without needing a central exchange, liquidity pools, or intermediate hops.

Value Bridging

Connect separate Unyt networks — or bridge EVM blockchain tokens into a Unyt environment. Each network keeps its own governance and rules while value flows freely between them.

  • Bridge currencies between independent Unyt networks
  • Bridge EVM tokens (e.g. HOT, any ERC-20) into a Unyt app — your own lightweight, configurable L2
  • More places your currency can be spent — without changing its supply
  • No external exchange required; tokens locked and verifiable on-chain
Example: A decentralized hosting network bridges its ERC-20 token into a Unyt app. Inside the app, hosts get paid automatically through smart agreements as they serve applications — micro-transactions settling with whatever fee structure the network decides, no gas costs per interaction. The hosting network then bridges to a VPN provider's Unyt app, so hosting participants can route traffic through privacy-preserving infrastructure — paid directly in hosting tokens. Each network keeps its own governance and rules, but participants unlock complementary services without leaving the ecosystem.
