On March 1st, I set an internal target for releasing PeerLLM v1.0.0. That date has arrived, and the public release has not yet happened. I want to be transparent about that. Rather than quietly shifting timelines, I think it’s important to explain exactly where things stand, what has been completed, and what is still being finalized.

This is not a stalled project. It is a nearly completed economic loop.

0/ Host Subscriptions [Complete]

The host subscription system ($5/month) is complete and operational. It has been integrated, tested internally, and connected to host identity and authorization logic. The subscription layer represents the first foundational economic primitive of PeerLLM: commitment.

By introducing subscriptions, hosting is no longer just theoretical participation. It is intentional. Hosts commit to the network, contribute compute, and become part of a living infrastructure. The system is ready for wider controlled group testing, and I am expanding access gradually to ensure stability before broader rollout.

1/ Payout Calculations [Complete]

Payout Execution: [In Progress]

The payout engine is fully built. Token accounting now works across incoming and outgoing traffic, across all hosts under a single user, and aggregates pending payout calculations accurately.

The Host Dashboard already reflects real token traffic and real accumulation. The earnings displayed are not placeholders—they are computed from actual usage flowing through the orchestrator network.

The remaining work is the final payout execution layer. In other words, the calculation engine is done, but I am finalizing the integration that enables actual fund disbursement so hosts can receive payments. This is the transition from simulated earnings to real settlement.

ETA for completing payout execution is within the next few days.

2/ API Token Purchases: [In Progress]

On the consumer side, the API token purchase flow is still being finalized. This includes the full purchasing lifecycle: payment processing, credit allocation, usage deduction, and billing validation.

This is the final piece that closes the loop:

Consumers purchase tokens.
Consumers use tokens.
Hosts earn from token usage.
Hosts get paid.

The purchase integration is expected to be completed this week.

3/ Why the Release Is Slightly Delayed

Payment systems are not UI features. They are trust infrastructure.

If a UI component breaks, it can be patched quickly. If a background job fails, it can be retried. But if payouts fail or accounting is inconsistent, trust breaks. and trust is the foundation of a decentralized network.

PeerLLM is not just a model runner. It is an economic system built around fairness and transparency. I would rather delay slightly than rush the most critical layer of the platform.

4/ Where PeerLLM Stands Today

PeerLLM is no longer an idea or a prototype. The host layer exists. Token accounting works. The subscription model is live. The payout engine calculates accurately. The orchestrator network is connected and processing real traffic.

What remains is the final integration that turns everything into a fully closed economic cycle.

v1.0.0 is not about marketing. It is about infrastructure. And infrastructure must be correct.

Thank you to everyone following the journey. The next update should include live payouts and a fully operational token purchase system.
