JIL.ai is the single native token of JIL L1 - native, gas, and value in one asset, the way SOL, ETH, and BNB each use one token. The JIL ERC-20 on Ethereum is a separate legacy asset that is converging into JIL.ai, and the old per-cell ujil gas denom is subsumed into it. Here is how they relate.
The single most common confusion about JIL.ai is thinking it is "the JIL token" on Ethereum. It is not. JIL.ai is now the single native token of JIL L1: one asset that is native, gas, and value at once. What used to look like several tokens is converging into that one token. Once you see it, everything clicks into place - and you will know exactly which asset you are holding.
JIL.ai (token code JILAI) is the one token of JIL L1. It is the native token, it is the gas you spend to transact, and it is the value you hold to use the network - the same single-native-token model SOL, ETH, and BNB each use. You spend it for raw transactions and for the higher-level federation services: provisioning and licensing sovereign cells, opening cross-cell corridors, generating court-grade proofs, accessing ProofDEX, and metering compliance. This is the utility token the whole site is about. It has a 10-billion cap with no inflation (validators are paid from transaction fees, not new issuance) on the JIL.ai cell, EVM chain id 56010003.
ujil was the raw per-cell gas denom - the fee that paid to run a transaction inside a single cell. Under the single-token model it is subsumed: JIL.ai itself is now the native gas of JIL L1, so there is no separate gas coin to reason about. ujil is superseded, and nothing new is built on it.
JIL is the ERC-20 on Ethereum mainnet with a 10-billion supply, at 0x9347efffa3e8985e0d35536b408cab48599971e8. It was a 2025 bootstrap - a way to be tradable and raise early, before JIL L1 was mature - and it was never the intended home. JIL was always meant to be JIL-L1-native. So the go-forward design does not abandon a token; it returns to the original intent: JIL.ai as the single L1-native token, with the Ethereum JIL converging into it over time (post-VARA, counsel-guided). Build nothing new on the ETH contract.
Splitting value across several brands is the main drag on a token ever being widely recognized. One token means one recognition story and one value story: the gas people spend is the token that carries the network's value, so real usage becomes real demand. It is also the honest end state - JIL was always meant to be L1-native.
