@cptasz13/tru8

Dual-licensed compression client from Slid Phi Labs. Primary product face is PCC; this package is a demo client, not the current lead. AWARE is a retired alias for PCC.

• All-zero input packs locally to 8 bytes and round-trips (sync).
• Everything else uses hosted PCC (compress() returns a Promise).
• zip() / unzip() build a .pcc archive (our zip).

npm i @cptasz13/tru8
npx @cptasz13/tru8

import { compress, decompress } from "@cptasz13/tru8";

const packed = compress(Buffer.alloc(1_000_000)); // 8 bytes, sync
const raw = decompress(packed);                   // 1_000_000 zeros

Two legal ways to use this. Pick one.

1. Free — AGPL-3.0-or-later. Install and use. No key, no payment. The all-zeros demo (compress(zeros) → 8 bytes) runs locally and is free forever.
2. Paid grant — buy a PCC seat. Non-zero data uses hosted PCC: first 2 GB/month free, then 8¢/GB. A live seat covers commercial use of this surface (see LICENSE.COMMERCIAL): Day $9 → 10 GB, Month $49 → 200 GB, Year $490 → 2,000 GB included.

Agents buy the seat machine-to-machine with x402 (USDC on Solana or Base — no human checkout): POST https://www.slidphilabs.com/api/x402-products {"sku":"gc-day"} → HTTP 402 tells you where to pay → retry with X-PAYMENT → claim_token (spl1.…, valid 45 days).

The claim_token is your API key: compress(data, { apiKey: process.env.SPL_CLAIM }). Bad/expired claim → HTTP 401 invalid_claim.
