TensorCash Settlement Contracts Whitepaper: Native Contracts and the Tapscript Extension

Abstract

TensorCash is a Bitcoin-fork chain that ties block production to verified language-model inference and settles issued assets on the same UTXO ledger as the native unit. This document covers the native settlement contracts implemented in the core node: spot atomic swaps, collateralised repurchase agreements, and two-sided initial-margin forward / option-style delivery-versus-payment contracts. Asset issuance is a separate protocol layer; it is not part of the native settlement contract surface described here.

Our mission

TensorCash turns useful AI work into open money.

Out of the potato age, as our whitepaper says…

We believe people deserve a cheaper, more efficient financial system, and fairer AI that works for everyone. TensorCash makes AI work verified and verifiable. Verification gives AI a face: proof of which model did the work, what it saw, and the rules it followed. That lets anyone confidently buy or sell AI work at the most efficient price. The result is more accessible, more sustainable AI, powering a new generation of financial systems. Today's currencies are the potatoes: antiquated, expensive to move, and trapped behind fee-takers. TensorCash is a more efficient way to move and store value — one that harnesses AI's computational power for everyone while pushing the control outward instead of concentrating it.

About us

Imosuke Takakuni is a pseudonym. The Japanese name is both a tribute to Satoshi Nakamoto and a nod to Potato Land — the parable from our whitepaper. The mission is bigger than any one contributor; it should outlast personalities and charisma. Decentralisation works for everyone, or it doesn't work at all. We want everyone to participate in TensorCash as equals.

How to get TSC

TensorCash is not selling TSC. The project is not running a token sale, pre-sale, ICO, IDO, or official investment round. New TSC enters circulation through active mining. You can mine it, receive it peer-to-peer from someone who already has it, or run the wallet and be ready for mainnet.

TensorCash is not running an official sale. Do not send money to anyone claiming to sell official allocations.

Run the Core wallet

The practical first step is to run TensorCash Core, create a wallet, and learn the RPC surface. Today the public guide starts with regtest so you can create addresses and move coins locally before touching mainnet funds.

Donate

No mainnet donation address is published yet. For testing only, the TensorCash testnet address below was generated from the running Core wallet; do not send mainnet funds to it.

Spread the word

The shortest useful explanation is: TensorCash turns useful AI work into open money. Share the mission page, the flagship whitepaper, or the Get involved page with one person who cares about cheaper financial rails, fairer AI, or open infrastructure.

Emission schedule

Bitcoin set the baseline: block rewards only, no discretionary minting, and an exact integer subsidy total of 20,999,999.97690000 BTC. TensorCash keeps the fixed-supply discipline and changes the release curve for a compute-mined network; the implemented recurrence ends at 21,184,153.03530240 TSC.
