How to read the protocol docs
Guide to AirJIT protocol documentation: whitepaper overview, live JIT and J1USD contract facts, and a suggested reading order.
5 min
What is AirJIT? (protocol)
AirJIT as a distributed coordination protocol: open, deterministic, interoperable logistics semantics — not a courier that owns aircraft or a single-chain app.
5 min
Internet of Physical Commerce
AirJIT’s north star: physical assets with persistent digital identity, deterministic execution, programmable J1USD settlement, and shared logistics standards.
5 min
Mathematical foundations
Formal ideas behind AirJIT: deterministic state machines, logistics graphs, advisory optimization versus execution, and J1USD outside JIT security math.
7 min
Protocol architecture
AirJIT architecture domains: network nodes, Digital Logistics Assets, PAEE execution, ACE coordination, J1USD settlement, BAL, and JIT-aligned governance.
6 min
Separation of concerns
AirJIT separates coordination from settlement, execution from implementation, and governance from constitution so J1USD, PAEE, and ACE can evolve independently.
5 min
Digital Logistics Assets (DLA)
A Digital Logistics Asset is a persistent protocol-native identity for every physical asset on AirJIT — the canonical object, not a temporary shipment row.
5 min
Physical Asset Execution Engine (PAEE)
PAEE executes AirJIT logistics workflows as deterministic state transitions. It does not guess routes — ACE recommends; PAEE commits inspectable custody changes.
5 min
Logistics State Machine (LSM)
The Logistics State Machine is how PAEE represents parcel lifecycle states — listed, booked, in custody, in transit, delivered, disputed — with deterministic transitions.
6 min
Global Logistics Graph (GLG)
The Global Logistics Graph models world logistics infrastructure as a shared, evolving graph of locations, Hosts, capacity, and connectivity for ACE to search.
5 min
AirJIT Coordination Engine (ACE)
ACE evaluates transportation opportunities on the Global Logistics Graph and issues recommendations only. It does not mutate PAEE state or move J1USD by itself.
5 min
Trust and verification
How AirJIT builds trust: identity verification, inspection at every hop, deterministic events, JIT cryptoeconomic security, and oracles that do not mutate state.
6 min
Protocol events
Protocol events are the typed inputs to PAEE: booking, collect, hub transfer, deliver, refuse, dispute. They carry evidence and can trigger J1USD escrow conditions.
5 min
Blockchain Abstraction Layer (BAL)
BAL separates AirJIT protocol execution from any one chain so PAEE semantics stay stable while JIT security and J1USD settlement rails can evolve.
5 min
Dual-asset architecture
Why AirJIT uses two assets: JIT for security and governance, J1USD for commercial settlement. Merging both into one token creates conflicting incentives.
5 min
J1USD — protocol settlement asset
J1USD is AirJIT’s protocol settlement asset: USD-referenced unit of account for logistics obligations, escrow, and programmable payments — independent from JIT.
6 min
JIT — protocol security asset
JIT is AirJIT’s protocol security asset: staking, governance, validator incentives, and Host bonds. Commercial payments use J1USD — not JIT.
6 min
Network node classes
AirJIT node classes: validators, carriers, warehouses, Hosts, oracles, enterprises, and governments — specialized roles sharing protocol interfaces.
6 min
Programmable settlement
How AirJIT finalizes commercial obligations in J1USD: escrow conditions tied to PAEE events, finality for operators, and portability via the Blockchain Abstraction Layer.
5 min
Protocol governance
JIT holders govern AirJIT evolution while constitutional principles constrain destructive change. J1USD stays neutral so settlement volume cannot buy control.
5 min
Security principles
AirJIT security: JIT cryptoeconomic stake, deterministic PAEE execution, advisory ACE, oracle restraint, and J1USD settlement separated from FX risk.
