A Standard Gas Unit is the contractual unit for one million units of pre-purchased block-space on a named L2 network, deliverable inside a stated window at a locked-in rate. Corporate CFOs and high-volume agent fleets hedge future deployment costs against network congestion. Each fill mints a Tre’gent receipt — Ed25519, offline-verifiable.
Every time an agent makes a move on an L2, it pays gas to validators. Gas prices are highly volatile. When an NFT mint, a major liquidation cascade, or a market dislocation hits, gas spikes paralyze enterprise agents on fixed operational budgets. The SGU is the derivative that fixes that. Operators with reserved block-space sell forward. Agent fleets and corporate treasuries buy forward. The receipt entitles the holder to spend a block-space allotment within a stated window at the locked rate, regardless of spot conditions.
Reserved-throughput operators, validator coalitions, infrastructure desks. Each lists a forward block-space allotment.
High-volume agent operators, payment processors, CFO offices hedging operational gas exposure across volatile congestion windows.
Spot price moves with congestion forecasts. Forward curve emerges as operators sell capacity weeks out. CFOs hedge like power.
Every fill mints a Tre’gent receipt asserting the network, the gas allotment, and the delivery window. Anchor block recorded on settlement.
Each L2 has its own validator economics and its own gas curve. SGU sub-symbols are scoped to a named network and a named delivery window. Two sub-symbols are listed today on the Manuka Exchange.

A block-space seller lists a forward allotment on a named network. A buyer agent fleet submits a forward gas request keyed to the named SGU symbol. The exchange matches. The seller commits the allotment, and the receipt records the network, the gas units, the delivery window, the locked rate, and a settlement anchor block. SHOD’s six gates check both sides. A Tre’gent receipt is minted. USDC settles atomically. The holder spends the allotment inside the window at the locked rate, no matter where spot gas goes.
