Token Economy
Govern the cost of AI that works continuously.
See why reasoning is needed, what can be reused, when a provider call is allowed, and which outcomes are measured versus estimated.
This surface reuses the existing Agent Arena runtime and token-economy evidence boundaries. It does not claim hosted savings or change wallet, policy, or entitlement state.

KINE SDK Alpha and governed Agent runtime
The local TypeScript SDK Alpha exposes versioned inspection and handoff contracts. For the controlled BYOK demo, a provider key is used for one governed request while KINE reduces context and records the decision. The key is not intentionally stored in browser storage, application storage, structured records, or activity events. The SDK does not hold wallet keys, sign, broadcast, or provide production remote delivery.

No token ledger records yet. Run the governed task to create the first browser-local entry.
Truth boundary
- The API key is transmitted securely to KINE for the active request only.
- The key is used in volatile request memory and is not intentionally persisted, logged, stored in receipts, or emitted through runtime events.
- Use a dedicated project-scoped key with spend limits and rotate or revoke it after testing.
- OpenAI is the only live relay path in this beta and it runs through the KINE server route.
- Non-live providers remain contract-only and are blocked before provider execution.
- No blockchain transaction, wallet action, or autonomous external tool execution is allowed here.
LIVE BYOK runtime active. The relay keeps provider execution behind KINE.
