Memorytokens
Memorytokens are a conceptual construct used to represent and manage memory resources in distributed computing environments. A memorytoken encodes a claim on a specific amount of memory or a memory access right and can be transferred between processes, containers, or participants in a system. They may be issued on a blockchain or other immutable ledger, allowing for verifiable provenance and auditability of memory usage.
Design and variants: Memorytokens can be fungible, representing fixed-size memory units, or non-fungible, representing unique allocations
Applications: Memorytokens enable marketplaces for memory capacity in cloud or edge environments, allocate memory across microservices,
Economics and governance: The value of a memorytoken arises from scarcity of available memory, QoS guarantees,
Limitations: Standardization, security, and privacy concerns remain. Tokenized memory must contend with latency, fragmentation, and potential
