Opening a corridor requires skin in the game. Hosts post a security deposit held in a smart contract. Program materials specify USD 10,000 in JIT. Performance, top-ups, and termination are defined in the Host agreement — not as a public APY product.
Why the deposit is JIT
JIT is AirJIT’s utility and security token. Hosts are a governance-aligned operator class: they densify the network and can face economic consequences if they mishandle parcels. Locking JIT ties corridor rights to the same asset used for staking and Host-related governance allocation (10% of original minted JIT is labeled Governance (Hosts) in tokenomics).
Why fees are still J1USD
A deposit should create accountability. An invoice should stay readable. If Host commissions were paid in JIT, every parcel would inherit JIT price risk. Dual-asset design keeps commercial amounts in J1USD and cryptoeconomic bond in JIT.
Practical steps
- Use only official JIT: 0x514D1A3576dB4b10F3bE4acC78c4fE103fF18F68 on BNB Smart Chain (18 decimals).
- Never send the deposit to a random chat address. The Host agreement and portal name the hold contract.
- Keep a small BNB balance for network fees when you move JIT.
- Treat the deposit as locked operating collateral, not as a liquid trading position.
