Whitepapers
Ten papers, one project.
The flagship TensorCash paper opens the set; eight further papers specify the pieces it depends on. All authored under Imosuke Takakuni.
Main paper
TensorCash
TensorCash makes AI inference accountable. Any provider running an open-source model attaches a compact proof to every answer — proving which model ran, under what sampling rules, on what input — and qualifying answers extend a Bitcoin-derived chain.
One forward pass does two jobs: it serves a paying user, and it secures a public ledger. There is no separate mining hardware to buy and no separate hash war to win. The same GPUs that answer prompts mint blocks, and the verification stack is open-source so no single operator has to be trusted.
On top of that ledger TensorCash adds the financial primitives crypto kept promising and never delivered natively — stablecoins, tokenised securities, repos, forwards, post-quantum custody — settled by consensus, not by a custodian or a general-purpose smart-contract VM.
