# Operator glossary

These are the shared Fased terms for wallets, Satcoin mining, Fased Network,
bonded SAT, and operator workflows.

Use this page when a word appears in Wallet, Mining, Fased Network, Bond
Operator, or Marketplace docs.

## Short model

```text
payments = ordinary task and service payment rails
SAT      = mining, bonded SAT, public mining history, and future operator roles
FCOD     = broader Fcode ecosystem support
```

SAT is not the ordinary payment token for every task. Service payment rails can
handle normal task and service payments. SAT stays close to mining, bonded SAT,
public mining history, and future operator roles.

## Core terms

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Fased Agent">
    The user-run agent for sessions, plugins, wallet use, Satcoin mining,
    Fased Network, and operator workflows.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Operator">
    A user who runs and maintains their own Fased infrastructure. Operators
    handle install health, wallet boundaries, and network posture.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="User-run agent">
    A Fased Agent install run by the user or operator instead of only by a centralized hosted service.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Wallet controls">
    Settings that decide what wallet-connected actions can happen, what needs approval, and which balances stay separated.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Agent wallet">
    The wallet used for ordinary sends, receipts, Marketplace payment flows, and
    reviewed skill/plugin wallet actions. It is selected by an explicit
    `@wallet:<walletId>` handle or the primary Agent fallback.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Mining wallet">
    The singleton `@wallet:mining` Solana wallet reserved for SAT mining. It
    signs mining transactions, pays fees, and should be treated as working
    capital.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Bond Vault">
    A Vault wallet selected by Fased Network for SAT bond lifecycle and bond
    proof. Bond is not its own wallet role; Agent and Mining wallets should not
    be assigned to bond.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Wallet SOL">
    SOL held directly by the wallet for transaction fees, signer-side costs, rent, and operational reserve.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Miner capital">
    SOL deposited into the SAT miner capital account for cycle participation.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Agent-operated mining">
    Satcoin's application-layer mining category for agent-operated
    infrastructure on Solana. Fased Agent is the first-class path for that
    mining loop.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Free capital">
    Miner capital that can be committed or withdrawn now.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Locked capital">
    Miner capital tied to pending or live cycles. Stop does not instantly unlock it.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Clearing">
    Stop state where new cycle submits are off while claim and recovery keep working through already-submitted cycles.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Resume">
    Mining action that exits clearing and allows new cycle submits again.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Active commit">
    The SOL amount Fased Agent tries to place into each SAT cycle.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Cycle">
    The five-minute SAT mining window.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Erosion">
    The per-cycle SOL cost charged against committed capital.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Rebate">
    SOL credited back to miner capital after cycle accounting.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Claim">
    The action that mints earned SAT and accounts miner rebate after cycle accounting.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Sweep">
    Optional movement of claimed SAT from the mining wallet to another Fased wallet or external Solana address.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="SAT">
    The mining and bond asset used first-class by Fased Agent and Fased Network
    for agent-operated mining, bonded SAT, public mining history, and future
    operator roles.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Bond">
    SAT locked into a trust-bearing operator position.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Basic bond">
    Entry bond layer for profile cost and basic public trust. The recommended T0 minimum is `25 SAT`.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Operator bond">
    Stronger bond layer for seller lanes, operator roles, higher-trust Fased
    Network participation, and staking eligibility when that path is enabled.
    The recommended first-year minimum is `500 SAT`. `1,000 SAT` is a later
    mature-network candidate after mining gets harder and distribution/liquidity
    improve.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Staking bond">
    Eligibility state for active operator bonds when SAT staking distribution is
    enabled. Any claimable amount is variable and depends on protocol activity,
    eligible bond weight, and distributor accounting.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Staking distributor">
    Program-owned accounting layer that tracks the staking SAT lane and assigns
    claimable amounts across eligible active staking bonds by proportional bond
    weight.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Pending pool">
    SAT currently visible in the distributor before eligible positions sync or claim. It is pool state, not a personal balance.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Claimable staking SAT">
    The amount synced to one bond position and available to claim into the selected Vault wallet.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Staking claim">
    Manual Bond Operator action that first syncs accounting for the bond
    position, then transfers claimable SAT to the Vault wallet when a claimable
    amount exists.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Protocol maintainer">
    Operator loop for protocol housekeeping such as reserve refill,
    fixed-recipient accounting, distributor feed, and cleanup. It is not
    treasury custody.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Fased Network">
    The network participation layer for public handles, routing, discovery,
    offers, public route health, and stronger operator roles.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Offer">
    A public or semi-public service listing that can be routed, discovered, or matched through Fased Network.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Public route">
    The externally reachable Fased Network route. Token presence and hosted enrollment do not prove that this route is healthy.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Stronger operator role">
    A stronger network role supported by route health, history, and bond posture.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Operator status">
    The evidence and review layer for service work, route posture, reconciliation, and selected operator records.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="Service payments">
    Practical payment rails for ordinary tasks, services, marketplace pricing, invoices, and receipts.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="FCOD">
    The broader Fcode ecosystem support token. It is separate from SAT and is not required to understand or run Fased Agent.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Boundary rules

- Wallet handles inventory, funding, controls, approvals, and security.
- Mining handles capital, commit, cycles, claim, sweep, and recovery.
- Fased Network handles public handles, routing, offers, public reachability, and bond-derived status.
- Bond uses SAT as an operator trust signal.
- Agent wallet stays on the normal payment rail.
- Operator status tracks service evidence; it does not mint SAT.
