# US-049 — Mainnet USDT cutover: two-wallet pilot checklist
Priority: High (first real-money friends test)
Stage: Operator runbook + config verification
## Goal
Move from **Solana devnet + mock-USDT** to **Solana mainnet + real USDT** for a minimal pilot: **one client wallet** (inference payer) and **one node-operator wallet** (payout recipient). Treasury holds USDT and pays SOL fees. TAI stays phase B/C per [ADR-0025](../adr/0025-tai-off-chain-accrual-and-reserved-mint.md).
## Wallet roles
| Role | Keypair | On-chain use |
|---|---|---|
| **Treasury** | Operator `treasury-keypair.json` (multisig when ready) | Holds USDT float + SOL for fees; sends batched node payouts |
| **Client** | Your inference-user wallet | SPL USDT → treasury; bound to API key for ledger credit |
| **Node** | Your node-operator wallet | Receives USDT payout batches from treasury |
The node process already creates/loads a Solana wallet at startup; the client wallet is bound via accounts/dashboard (`POST /v1/wallet/register` or US-041 flows).
## Pre-flight (devnet smoke — do not skip)
- [ ] Tracker with `--solana-rpc-url https://api.devnet.solana.com`, mock mint, treasury keypair
- [ ] `--settle-period 60 --payout-threshold 0` — confirm payout appears on dashboard **Settlement history** with explorer link
- [ ] Run `python -m pytest tests/test_settlement_loop.py -q` — includes prod 24h/5 USDT gate tests
- [ ] One inference request → node pending → settlement tx → node wallet balance increases
## Mainnet config change (config-only cutover)
Replace devnet values; **no code deploy required** beyond what is already on the branch.
```bash
# Example — use your mainnet RPC provider
meshnet-tracker start \
--solana-rpc-url https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com \
--usdt-mint EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v \
--treasury-keypair ~/.config/solana/meshnet-treasury-mainnet.json \
--settle-period 86400 \
--payout-threshold 5.0 \
--payout-dust-floor 0.01 \
--starting-credit 0 \
--devnet-topup 0
```
| Flag | Devnet (test) | Mainnet (pilot) |
|---|---|---|
| RPC | `api.devnet.solana.com` | Mainnet RPC (Helius/QuickNode/etc.) |
| `--usdt-mint` | mock mint from `devnet_setup.py` | Real USDT mint (`EPjF…` on Solana) |
| `--settle-period` | `60` (fast verify) | `86400` (24 h) |
| `--payout-threshold` | `0` | `5.0` USDT |
| `--starting-credit` | `1.0` (optional) | `0` |
| `--devnet-topup` | `1.0` | `0` |
## Treasury funding
- [ ] Fund treasury wallet with **SOL** for fees (~0.10.5 SOL to start; ~$0.001 per daily batch + ~$0.30 once per new node ATA)
- [ ] Fund treasury with **USDT** for node payouts (your float — e.g. first week of expected node earnings)
- [ ] Client wallet holds USDT; send a test SPL transfer to treasury ATA; confirm deposit watcher credits API key within one poll interval
## Two-wallet pilot steps
1. **Start tracker** on mainnet config above (single settlement tracker per ADR-0016).
2. **Client path:** register account → create API key → bind **client wallet** → deposit USDT to treasury → verify ledger balance on dashboard.
3. **Node path:** start `meshnet-node` with **node wallet** keypair → register → serve inference.
4. **Inference:** client sends `POST /v1/chat/completions` with API key; verify 402 before deposit, success after.
5. **Accrual:** confirm node **pending USDT** on dashboard rises; client balance debits.
6. **Payout (24 h):** wait for `--settle-period` **or** temporarily lower to `300` for first pilot verification, then restore `86400`.
7. **Threshold path:** alternatively, accumulate ≥ `5` USDT pending in one session to trigger immediate batch without waiting 24 h.
8. **Verify on-chain:** settlement history shows mainnet tx signature; node wallet USDT ATA balance increased; pending zeroed.
## Safety checks
- [ ] `--devnet-topup 0` — no faucet on mainnet
- [ ] `--starting-credit 0` — no free inference credit
- [ ] Treasury keypair not committed to git; file mode 600
- [ ] Plan multisig migration before large float ([alpha runbook](../../.scratch/alpha-hardening/runbooks/02-treasury-key-rotation.md) intent)
- [ ] Issue **21** (TOPLOC calibration) before production audit thresholds on untrusted nodes
## Cost estimate (this pilot)
- **SOL fees:** pennies per day at 1 batch × 1 node
- **USDT:** whatever clients deposit and nodes earn (treasury is passthrough for payouts)
- **TAI mint (optional, ADR-0025 phase B):** ~0.002 SOL one-time — defer if not needed for pilot
## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] Devnet checklist completed once
- [ ] Mainnet tracker serves dashboard; billing enabled
- [ ] Client wallet deposit → ledger credit → inference → debit
- [ ] Node wallet receives ≥1 confirmed USDT payout batch on mainnet
- [ ] 24 h period enforced: sub-threshold pending not paid before period (covered by `tests/test_settlement_loop.py`)
- [ ] ≥5 USDT pending triggers payout without waiting full period (covered by tests)
- [ ] Rollback documented: switch RPC + mint back to devnet if needed
