a gram · the smallest thing that can prove itself

A gram

Three to five people, sharing the machines they already own, running work that the machines then sign. A gram is the smallest unit you can weigh. ग्राम is a village — the smallest place that governs itself. Both meanings are the point.

How it starts

looking for a gram on this machine…
  1. Install it on the machine in front of you

    No account, no cluster, no console. The daemon runs on the laptop you are reading this on.

  2. 2

    It measures itself, and signs what it found

    Compute, memory, network, storage — each signed with the machine’s own device key, checkable without trusting you or us.

  3. 3

    It keeps working when we are not here

    A gram needs no gramx, no region, and no company. Its uptime is its own answer; it stops when you say so.

Claim it

A gram runs under an anonymous identity until you claim it. Claiming binds it to your account by having the machine itself sign the transfer — nothing here ever asks for the machine’s key.

What a gram is not

It is not a trial of something larger. There is no locked feature inside it waiting for a payment, and no limit that lifts when you become important to us. An institution’s gram has an admission list, an audit trail and someone on the hook for it at 3am. It is the same gram.
