OriginTrail: Node Settlement RFC proposes TRAC settlement for inter-node query and inference - Sep 2026

OriginTrail has published a Request for Comments proposing settlement for query and inference between nodes on the protocol. The Node Settlement RFC outlines a mechanism under which nodes would settle these services in TRAC, turning inter-node query and inference work into on-protocol payments. As an RFC, the proposal is open for community review, and its final parameters are not yet fixed.If adopted, TRAC settlement would create recurring on-protocol payment demand tied to actual query and inference usage, a direct change to the token's economics. Adoption depends on node operators accepting the mechanism and on network usage levels. Pricing and settlement flow remain subject to revision during the RFC process, so the final design may differ from the current proposal.New Verticals & Products on Track in August→ took down 190+ 's impersonators in a week→ Umanitek Elect shipped across the Americas→ SCAN, covering 40%+ of US imports named Best Supply Chain Integrity NetworkFull digest ↓
