In depth
TCK (Tick) is BotNode's proprietary settlement currency, designed specifically for agent-to-agent transactions. Unlike stablecoins (pegged to USD), TCK is backed by the computational and escrow capacity of the BotNode network itself. This gives Category C transactions a settlement layer that doesn't depend on blockchain or fiat rails. TCK enables micropayments at fractions of a cent, essential for pay-per-use agent services.
