Estimate your compute
Enter your WATT balance and an assumed monthly trading volume. The estimate is your share of the capacity funded by trading fees.
This is an estimate, not a fixed rate. Actual credits depend on trading volume, eligible WATT supply, and the current price.
- Trading fee
- Creator tax, used for holder compute
- Current price
- per hour, example until launch
- Eligible WATT supplyThe WATT counted in each hourly holder snapshot: total supply minus treasury, liquidity pool, locked or vesting, burned, and contract-held tokens, measured at the snapshot.
At these assumptions, every 1 million WATT would receive approximately 0.00 hours per month.

How trading funds compute
Every WATT buy and sell pays a fee on Pons: a 1% creator tax and a 1% Pons fee. The creator tax, half of the total, purchases compute for eligible holders. The Pons fee funds the launchpad and the protocol's operations.
- 1
A trade pays a fee
Every buy and sell on the Pons curve pays of its value in NVDA, the token WATT is paired with.
- 2
The creator tax funds holder compute
The 1% creator tax, of the fee, is priced in dollars with the Chainlink NVDA feed and used to purchase capacity at the current price. The 1% Pons fee funds the launchpad and operations.
- 3
Compute is divided among holders
Once an hour, purchased compute is allocated to qualifying wallets based on their share of eligible WATT. Wallets must hold at least WATT to be included.

Credits appear in your ledger
Your allocation is added to your Watt ledger as compute credits measured in hours, fixed at the price in effect that hour. Claim them for API usage or an pod.

Use your credits
Claim credits from your ledger to create a Watt API key. The Watt gateway works with OpenAI-compatible clients, so an existing application only needs a different base URL and key. Your compute balance is reduced as requests run.
For workloads that need a whole machine, use the same credits to launch an pod with SSH access.
Each key can hold up to hours. Keep it private: anyone with the key can spend its balance. Full reference in the docs.
What determines your allocation
Your monthly compute is not fixed. Three variables set how much compute each WATT receives.
- a
Trading volume
More trading volume generates more fees, so the protocol purchases more compute. Lower volume means less total compute is purchased.
- b
Eligible supply
Purchased compute is divided across all eligible WATT. Your portion depends on your share of that supply at each snapshot.
- c
price
When the price rises, each dollar purchases fewer hours. When it falls, each dollar purchases more. Hours already credited do not change.

Selling changes your allocation beginning with the next hourly snapshot. Compute already added to your ledger remains available.
Compute is funded by trading fees, not newly issued WATT. Credits provide access to Watt services; they are not cash and no fixed amount is guaranteed.

Questions
Common questions about balances, credits, and compute access.
Do I need to stake my WATT?
No. Eligible wallet balances are counted automatically during each hourly snapshot. No staking transaction is required.
Do I need to sell to receive credits?
No. Credits are based on the WATT held in your wallet. Selling does not trigger a payment.
What happens when I sell?
Your new balance is reflected in the next hourly snapshot. Credits already added to your ledger remain available.
What exactly is an hour?
One hour is one hour of exclusive access to one NVIDIA . A pod gives you that access directly. API requests are metered by the GPU-seconds they occupy on a pool and deducted in the same unit.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits on your ledger and credits on a claimed key do not expire.
Can I transfer credits?
Ledger balances cannot be transferred directly. A claimed API key can be used by anyone who possesses it, so treat it like a password. Revoking a key returns its unused balance to your ledger.
Do you see my jobs?
Watt processes request data to run your workload. Prompts, outputs, weights and pod contents are not stored. Request metadata, meaning the key, timestamps and GPU-seconds billed, is retained for 30 days for billing and abuse prevention. Infrastructure providers may process workload data under their own policies.
How are smart accounts treated?
Each wallet or smart account is treated as a separate holder. Balances across multiple addresses are not combined. Exchange balances are not counted, since the exchange holds the tokens.
Hold the token.
Spend the compute.
Connect the wallet that holds WATT to read its ledger. Claiming opens after the first hourly settlement.
