A Standard Data Unit is the contract for one signed data feed stream. You can check it byte-for-byte against the issuer's fingerprint, and it's scoped to a named source and a set time window. Data owners list feeds. Trading bots and enterprise agents buy SDUs to bring in clean, checkable data. Each fill mints a Tre'gent receipt, signed with Ed25519 and checkable offline.
AI models are hungry for good data they can check byte-for-byte. Bad data in means bad answers out. Specialized feeds, like live legal filings, real-time supply-chain telemetry, and local financial order books, are worth a lot to the machines making real decisions with them. The SDU turns these feeds into something you can trade. Where the data came from is tracked as a core field, and ViewKey shows that history only to the buyer's auditor. Counterparties never see each other's queries.
Exchanges, telematics fleets, logistics operators, registries. Owners sign and list feeds. Each unit carries a fingerprint hash.
Inference pipelines that need fresh, signed inputs. Buyers check where the data came from with ViewKey before feeding it into models.
Spot price moves with freshness, exclusivity, and how rare the source is. A forward curve builds up around known release windows.
Every fill mints a Tre'gent receipt stating the source, the time window, and the byte-match fingerprint of the delivered stream.
Every feed has a paper trail. Each one names its source, how often it updates, and how it's fingerprinted. Two sub-symbols are specified today on the Manuka Exchange, which is at sim stage with live mainnet routing not yet enabled.
One trading day of byte-checkable order-book data sourced from the NYSE consolidated tape, delivered as a signed stream with a fingerprint hash on every tick. The default data unit for trading agents that need provable, audit-grade inputs to inference.

One window of construction supply-chain telemetry, covering fastener lots, structural shipment history, and on-site delivery events, sourced from named logistics operators and signed at the gateway. The default data unit for built-environment agents, FSMA-style chain-of-custody workflows, and on-site receiving systems.

A data owner publishes a feed fingerprint for a window. A buyer agent sends a request for the named SDU symbol. The exchange matches them up. The feed gets delivered as a stream with a signature on every tick or event. The agent uses ViewKey to check the data against the published fingerprint before a single byte goes into an inference engine. SHOD's six gates check both sides. A Tre'gent receipt gets minted stating the source, the window, and the fingerprint. USDC settles in one atomic step.
