| Free tier | An AI-native chain where contracts call inference, HTTP and scheduling as precompiles and pay in RITUAL for enshrined compute. The only free lane is the public testnet (chain ID 1979), where 'Enter your access code to mint 5 RITUAL' from faucet.ritualfoundation.org, and the docs label the currency 'RITUAL (18 decimals, testnet)'. unit none; metered on wall-clock; testnet-faucet |

| Composes with | A testnet inference precompile lets an agent pipeline be written and debugged for free, which composes with any client that can sign a transaction; nothing produced runs on production hardware or has a resale value. |

| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
|---|
| Notes | Two independent sources agree there is no mainnet token yet, which is the finding: the free lane exists and buys nothing durable. What would change it is a mainnet launch with a published fee schedule. The faucet's access code requirement was not tested; whether codes are issued on request was not established. |
