# Sovereignty Ledger & Metered Access
The Agentic Core requires significant compute. To protect backend infrastructure while providing a viable "Base Node" (Free Tier), Maha OS utilizes a decentralized, local-first metering system called the Sovereignty Ledger.
\
**Local Session Tracking**
\
Rather than querying a central database on every interaction, the client maintains a secure daily counter using Capacitor Preferences.
* **The Gate:** Users are allocated two free voice negotiations per 24-hour cycle.
* **Verification:** The hook checks `negotiations_YYYY-MM-DD` upon component mount. If the integer exceeds the allocation, the UI physically transforms, locking the microphone hardware and presenting the Upgrade Protocol.
**The Architect & Founding Nodes**
\
Users who exhaust their baseline allocation are prompted to initialize a premium node.
* **RevenueCat Integration:** The infrastructure relies on RevenueCat to verify the user's `CustomerInfo`.
* **Unlock:** Upon verification of an "Architect" or "Founding Node" subscription, the local ledger restrictions are bypassed, granting unlimited voice compute and advanced biometric correlations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://maha-strategies-llc.gitbook.io/docs/core-concepts/sovereignty-ledger-and-metered-access.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
