A plain walk-through: get set up, hold your AIBIZ names, and run them as real businesses. Then the part everyone asks about — how staking works, and why moving a chip onto your machine is the whole point.
Everything runs on your own machine. There is no account and no password — your device key proves who you are, and it never leaves your computer.
Open the BizNode Wallet and create a device key. It is generated on your computer and stored in your operating system's secure keychain — it is never uploaded, never logged. This one key is your signature for everything you do.
Immediately write down the 24-word recovery phrase the wallet shows you, on paper, and keep it safe. It restores your key on any computer, or imports into MetaMask. If you lose it and your computer, nobody — not us — can recover your names or money. This is what self-custody means: you hold it, you own it.
The wallet reads straight from the blockchain: every AIBIZ name (SLD and sub-SLD) you own, and your BZeUSD balance. What you own is what it shows — there is nothing to "sync" or trust.
Pay a name like ravi.pay.aibiz instead of a long 0x… address. The name resolves on-chain and your device signs the transfer. Sending to the wrong address stops being possible.
Type a handle, check it across every line, and buy it in-app. A plain SLD name mints instantly; a pool line (like .biznode) mints from the vault. Need BZeUSD first? Get it without leaving the wallet.
Every wallet has an aibox — one inbox that reaches any member business, and where anyone can reach yours (over WhatsApp, SMS or Telegram, all in one place). Messages arrive with next-action buttons — pay a detected amount, look up a name, open a link. You click; the AI never acts on its own.
The Lines menu lists every AIBIZ service line. When your machine holds the chip for a line, it lights up 🟢 BizChip inside and that line's tools switch on — the web dialer for .call, transfers, upgrades — all signed by your device. (That "BizChip inside" light is staking at work — see Part 2.)
In the Create pane, link a local Ollama model so your machine can draft and answer for your business. The AI runs on your hardware; nothing goes to a cloud you don't control.
Claim your name's key to your keychain and invoke any AIBIZ capability as that business — each call metered in BZeUSD and split 70% to you, 10% to the name's owner, 20% to the platform, with a signed receipt. Top up a name's credits by a signed transfer, and request a single-use card to spend anywhere cards are taken.
Staking here is not a lock-up or a yield scheme. It is a deliberately simple idea, and once it clicks the whole system makes sense.
Staking = keeping a chip in your wallet, on your machine. That residency is what licenses that machine to run the chip's operations. Move the chip in, the machine can act as that business. Move it out, it can't.
Every AIBIZ name you own is a BizChip — an NFT that carries a business's logic and its allowed operations, like a processor carries instructions. Owning it is one thing; running it on a machine is the next.
When the chip sits in the wallet on a specific machine, the blockchain record itself says "this machine may run this chip." There is no separate licence file to trust — holding the NFT there IS the licence, and anyone can verify it on-chain.
An operation only counts when both halves hold: (1) the chip resides on the machine — so it may act; and (2) the machine signs the work it did — so it proves it was this machine. Permission and proof, together. That is what lets strangers safely pay a stranger's machine to do work.
Move the chip out of the wallet and the licence ends the moment it leaves — no waiting, no penalty. Nothing is locked away. Staking is just where the chip lives right now.
Your yourname.biznode.aibiz Pass is a special chip: instead of running one line, its residency unlocks the premium features of every line.
