DOSFI + MeshNativeExchange: OS-Level Compute Billing for Distributed Intelligence
DOSFI (Distributed OS for Intelligence) is the operating system of the mesh. It meters every compute operation at the OS layer and forwards signed Vital spend records to MeshNativeExchange for enterprise settlement. Together, DOSFI and MeshNativeExchange form the complete billing and settlement stack for distributed AI.
DOSFI Sovereignty — Closed Core / Open Surface
DOSFI Core is sovereign and closed. All educational content on this page is generated exclusively from open-surface materials — SDKs, ABIs, documentation, tutorials, examples, and conceptual explanations. Internal details of the DOSFI Runtime, Scheduler, Router, Readiness Engine, Privacy Model, Power/Thermal Model, Vital internals, DIU internals, MNE internals, and Mesh-Native App runtime internals are not revealed, described, or inferred.
No proprietary algorithms, system code, or architectural diagrams capable of enabling replication of the DOSFI Core are published. When internal logic is referenced, only high-level conceptual explanations are provided. DOSFI's sovereignty, mission-lock, and non-replicable architecture are preserved at all times.
DOSFI (available at dosfi.ai) is the operating system layer of the Distributed Intelligence Stack. It sits below mesh-native applications, providing process scheduling, distributed memory management, I/O routing, and privacy enforcement across mesh nodes. Every DOSFI operation that consumes compute — inference execution, data routing, storage I/O, or privacy enforcement — generates a signed Vital DIU spend record that is forwarded to MeshNativeExchange for enterprise settlement.
The DOSFI + MeshNativeExchange Stack
Layer 4 — Application
Mesh-native apps, agents, AI services
Layer 3 — DOSFI OS
Compute scheduling, memory, privacy enforcement, Vital metering
Layer 2 — Mesh Network
20-node test mesh → production mesh fabric (routing, storage, inference nodes)
Layer 1 — MeshNativeExchange
Vital spend aggregation, settlement engine, fiat disbursement
DOSFI Services That Generate Vital Spend
Distributed OS for AI
DOSFI provides the operating system layer for the Distributed Intelligence Stack — managing process scheduling, memory, and I/O across mesh nodes.
Mesh-Native Compute Fabric
Workloads submitted to DOSFI are automatically routed across mesh nodes based on proximity, availability, and privacy tier requirements.
Privacy Enforcement Layer
DOSFI enforces Standard, Confidential, and Sovereign privacy tiers at the platform level — ensuring compute never violates jurisdictional boundaries.
Persistent State Management
DOSFI manages distributed state for long-running AI agents — ensuring consistency, replication, and recovery across node failures.
DOSFI Billing Flow → MeshNativeExchange Settlement
App submits workload to DOSFI
The application calls the DOSFI API with workload parameters, privacy tier, and compute budget in Vital.
DOSFI meters consumption
Each operation — routing, storage, inference execution, privacy enforcement — is metered at signed rates and debited from the Vital balance.
Spend records forwarded to MeshNativeExchange
DOSFI forwards signed spend records to MeshNativeExchange at each billing cycle boundary.
Enterprise settles to fiat
MeshNativeExchange aggregates DOSFI spend across the billing period and presents the redemption invoice for fiat settlement.
Developer Integration Examples
import DOSFI from "@dosfi/sdk";
const dosfi = new DOSFI({ apiKey: process.env.DOSFI_KEY });
// Submit a Confidential inference workload
const result = await dosfi.inference.run({
model: "mesh-llm-70b",
prompt: "Analyze quarterly settlement data",
privacyTier: "confidential", // 1.8× Vital multiplier
maxTokens: 4096,
vitalBudget: 10000, // Vital spend ceiling
});
console.log(result.output);
console.log(result.vitalConsumed); // e.g. 8192 DIU
console.log(result.settlementRef); // immutable spend record ID// Query DOSFI billing period summary
const billing = await dosfi.billing.getPeriod({ period: "2026-06" });
console.log(billing.routingUnits); // GB transited
console.log(billing.storageUnits); // GB-months
console.log(billing.inferenceUnits); // K tokens processed
console.log(billing.vitalConsumed); // Total DIU spent
console.log(billing.settlementRef); // Reference for MeshNativeExchange redemptionPrivacy Tier Billing at the OS Level
DOSFI enforces privacy tiers at the platform level — not at the application layer. This means Standard, Confidential, and Sovereign isolation is guaranteed by the system itself, not by application code. The corresponding Vital billing multipliers (1.0×, 1.8×, 3.2×) are applied automatically based on the tier selected at workload submission. The internal enforcement mechanism is a sovereign closed-core component.
