Ballast

Your NEAR pays for your AI, and never a token more than it needs to.

Stake too much for NEAR AI and you burn yield on credits you can't cash out. Too little and you get throttled. Try balancing it by hand for a month.

Keep the light on

  1. Your vault is 20 crates of NEAR, 5,000 each. Crates by the lighthouse are staked for NEAR AI: they fill the credit tank that keeps the light on. Crates on the barge are staked for yield: they earn NEAR.
  2. Ships are your AI requests. If the tank runs dry the light goes out and your requests are throttled.
  3. Drag a crate across to move it. It rides the ferry for 4 epochs (28 hours) before it lands, so move early. Usage will spike at some point in the month.
  4. Score: NEAR earned, minus 2 for every hour throttled. At the end you see what the Ballast agent did with the same month.
  5. Keys: ← sends a crate to the lighthouse, → sends one to the barge, A lets the agent play, space pauses.
