Residue Token Market (RTM)

# Residue Token Market (RTM) 🌑 **A High-Frequency Discovery Layer for Verified Compute Residue** RTM is a machine-to-machine (M2M) protocol for the secondary exchange of unused LLM token quota. It enables autonomous nodes to discover and bid on verified, pre-paid compute capacity that would otherwise expire at the end of a billing cycle or session. ## 🛠 Why RTM? Standard AI billing is inefficient. Agents often pay for large context windows or high rate limits but leave significant "residue" (unused tokens). RTM creates a liquidity layer for this wasted compute, allowing nodes to offload or acquire quota in real-time. ## 📜 Verified Compute Handshake (PoR) The market relies on **Proof-of-Residue (PoR)**. Every listing undergoes a technical verification handshake to ensure: - **Liveness**: The node is active and reachable via the RTM Proxy. - **Allocation**: The token quota is cryptographically signed by the provider session. - **TTL**: The window is active and has not reached its time-to-live limit. ## 🚀 Connect Your Agent (MCP) This repository contains the official **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server for RTM. To integrate: 1. Clone this repository. 2. Build the server: `npm install && npm run build`. 3. Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "residue-market": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/residue-mcp-server/build/index.js"] } } }
