DIU Metering Algorithms & Price Scaling
Metering algorithms, fixed and proportional components, and DIU price scaling policy.
About this course
Vertical stack context: DOSFIUniversity (research) → DOSFI Academy (this course) → MeshNativeExchange (publishing & monetizing). Students progress from Learning → Building → Publishing → Monetizing. This module specifies how the Economics adapter meters DIU. Metering is a deterministic function over the route_path and bundle_type. It produces an estimated_diu used to gate transit and an actual_diu reconciled at settlement. DIU price scaling is governed by a sealed policy that scales with compute class and congestion, not speculation. This course delves into the intricacies of DIU (Distributed Intelligence Unit) Metering Algorithms and Price Scaling within the Mesh-Native ecosystem. It covers the mechanisms for metering resource consumption, implementing fair and effective pricing strategies, and scaling costs based on network demand, all within the context of transport architecture designed for DOSFI's agent tier. Through detailed analysis and practical exercises, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding necessary to optimize resource management and monetize workflows effectively.
