Checkpoint: EidoOS and PhoonoS, September 2026

EidoOS

In one line: the video platform's creator side and economics are done; its public backend and first viewer are not.

  • Done: publishing studio; channel format; per-title VMAF-anchored encoding; measured-bytes billing; spending cap; the four economic holes closed with regression tests. 199 backend + 157 client tests.
  • Pricing: $0.021/h at 240p to $0.863/h at 4K, from $0.09/GB × 1.5 margin; 70 % to the creator.
  • App: com.empoorio.eidoos, internal testing (v1 to testers, v2 draft); 0.1.1 bundle signed and verified.
  • Backend: cloud project with database, rules and 25 indexes ready; storage and compute blocked on billing; eidoos.com and its API host do not resolve.
  • Chain: pallet-video-nft, pallet-nft-royalties, pallet-subscription wired; not connected to the app.
  • Lesson recorded: do not copy PhoonoS's $0.12/GB cost into EidoOS — its price is derived from the constant, so the change would be a 33 % price rise, and the two products sit in different provider tiers.

PhoonoS

In one line: the music and podcast player measured its economics before promising anything, and is blocked on store assets, not code.

  • Done: full-stack player; five rounds of compression measurement (per-title, AV1 as a third ladder, fMP4); real cost $0.12/GiB found (the assumed $0.09 was no real tier); payout model rebuilt from revenue to margin — from −$0.0495 to +$0.018 per GiB.
  • Engineering notes it produced: measure in the production container (4× difference from a codec library version); sample as production samples (5 dB); do not buy cores for low-res encodes (x265 +6 % from 4×).
  • App: com.phoonos.phoonos, internal testing (v3 to testers); signed AAB verified.
  • Blockers to a wider release: a privacy policy; real screenshots (the store assets were still from the template).
  • Chain: pallet-music-nft with batch and lazy minting (fees measured); not connected to the app.

Together

Both carry the same pay-per-use spending cap by rule. Both settle nothing on chain yet. Both have arithmetic behind their prices that this blog has published in full. The page this replaces previewed a conference's sponsors; this one is two apps and their spreadsheets.

Based on the EidoOS status and economics (2026-08), the PhoonoS pipeline and economics notes (2026-08) and the Play release records.
