A Standard Gas Unit is a contract for one million units of block-space on a named L2 network, bought ahead of time and delivered inside a set window at a locked-in rate. Corporate finance teams and high-volume agent fleets use it to protect their future costs against network congestion. Each purchase mints a Tre’gent receipt, signed with Ed25519 and checkable offline.
Every time an agent takes an action on an L2, it pays gas to validators, and gas prices swing hard. When an NFT mint, a big liquidation, or a market shock hits, gas spikes can stall enterprise agents running on fixed budgets. SGU fixes that. Operators with reserved block-space sell it forward. Agent fleets and corporate treasuries buy it forward. The receipt is designed to entitle the holder to a block-space allotment inside a set window at the locked rate, independent of the spot price, once mainnet routing is live.
Operators with reserved throughput, validator groups, infrastructure desks. Each one lists a forward block-space allotment.
High-volume agent operators, payment processors, and finance teams protecting themselves against volatile gas costs.
Spot price moves with congestion forecasts. A forward curve builds up as operators sell capacity weeks ahead, the same way you'd hedge power costs.
Every purchase mints a Tre’gent receipt recording the network, the gas allotment, and the delivery window. The anchor block gets recorded when it settles.
Each L2 has its own validator economics and its own gas curve. SGU sub-symbols are tied to one named network and one named delivery window. Two sub-symbols are specified today on the Manuka Exchange, which is at sim stage with live mainnet routing not yet enabled.

A block-space seller lists a forward allotment on a named network. A buyer agent fleet submits a gas request tied to that SGU symbol. The exchange matches the two. The seller commits the allotment, and the receipt records the network, the gas units, the delivery window, the locked rate, and a settlement anchor block. SHOD's six checks screen both sides. A Tre’gent receipt gets minted. USDC settles in the same step. The design lets the holder spend the allotment inside the window at the locked rate, independent of the spot price of gas, once mainnet routing is live.
