kappa AI INFERENCE EXCHANGE PRE-LAUNCH

The exchange for
AI inference

A public price, a certified quality floor, and a cleared trade. For every token bought and sold.

The problem

Inference has buyers and sellers.
It does not have a market.

Buyer You cannot tell a fair price from an arbitrary one. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others price unilaterally, and there is no benchmark to check them against.
Seller A GPU sitting idle earns nothing. There is nowhere to sell spare capacity, and no contract that would make a corporate buyer accept it if there were.
Market The price never moves. Published rates sit still for months while supply and demand shift underneath them. A rate card is not a market.

Oil traded this way for decades, until Brent.

The solution

An exchange.

KRR A public reference rate, computed only from cleared trades
KVS Certified quality grades C·B·A, re-probed continuously
KX Match Blind matching in under a millisecond. The price picks the node, nobody chooses a supplier
Clearing Every completion settles as a trade, at a fee

Four protocols. The venue owns none of the compute it clears.

Status

Under construction.

Everything above is what Kappa is being built to be.
