feat: Working repository: /home/elvern Clarification from user: 1. pay on de

[elvern18]

Summary

Instruction: Working repository: /home/elvern

Clarification from user:

1. pay on delivery, only a contract they can redeem later — kinda like a futures/forward contract. If supplier cant deliver, they need to refund the money (for now keep it simple)
2. prices are determined by market-based matching system, contract should later be redeemable to a provider / data centre/ hyperscaler.
3. bundled by any Claude model
4. centralised orderbook and exchange, no partial fills for now

make a new repo and make a simple MVP whereby the product provides a venue for cloud providers, data centres and hyperscalers (people who supply compute for LLM) and companies (companies that demand LLM compute) to be able to sign futures contract (i.e. delivering 1billion token for may 2026 from claude models). Plan this out first and ask questions if needed to clarify anything. Clarify as much as possible.

Implementation Plan: LLM Compute Futures Exchange MVP

Clarification Questions (MUST ANSWER BEFORE CODING)

1. Contract Specifications:

   • What's the minimum contract size (e.g., 1B tokens minimum)?
   • Token delivery window—exact date or range (May 2026)?
   • How do we measure/verify token delivery post-contract?
   • Settlement: cash payment upfront or periodic?

2. Market Mechanics:

   • Price discovery: fixed price per token or auction-based matching?
   • How do buyers and sellers get matched (FIFO orderbook, best-price-first)?
   • Collateral requirements for suppliers to prevent defaults?
   • What happens if supplier partially fails delivery (refund % of contract)?

3. Claude Model Bundling:

   • Do contracts specify Claude 3.5 Sonnet vs Opus vs mixed?
   • Fixed model throughout contract duration or flexible?
   • Different prices per model tier?

4. MVP Scope:

   • Single contract type (1B tokens, May 2026) or flexible quantities/dates?
   • User authentication (basic or OAuth)?
   • Real money or play money for MVP?

Proposed High-Level Architecture

Demand Side        │    Exchange Core      │    Supply Side
(Companies)        │   (Orderbook)         │   (Cloud Providers)
                   │                       │
Place Buy Order───→│ Match & Settlement ───→ Place Sell Order
                   │ (escrow, contracts)   │

Implementation Plan

• src/domain/models.py – Define Contract, Order, Party (Buyer/Seller), Settlement entities with pay-on-delivery semantics

• src/exchange/orderbook.py – Implement centralized orderbook with market-matching logic (price-time priority), no partial fills

• src/exchange/settlement.py – Handle contract creation, escrow logic, refund mechanism if delivery fails

• src/api/routes.py – REST endpoints: place order, view orderbook, list contracts, check settlement status
