The
£450 Price Lock

"No dPRN sells below £450. Ever. Per tonne. The floor is the foundation of everything."

The £450 floor is constitutional. It is the price below which a dPRN cannot legally clear within CircularOS, because £450 is the threshold at which 7% Covenant + 50/50 split + operational cost + replication economics all hold. Selling below would unwind the model. The floor is enforced by code (marketplace refuses), by audit, by Truth Ledger.

In the field
Cumulative dPRN clearance May 2024 → May 2026: 1,247 tranches, 0 below £450. Average realised £478. Lowest cleared £451 (single tranche, defensive sale, justified by Sovereign 27 Sep 2025).
▸ Triggers · When This Fires
  • Every dPRN clearance attempt (auto-check)
  • Marketplace pricing review
  • Annual constitutional confirmation
⚠ Consequence · If Broken

A single below-floor sale would create precedent. Precedent would create pressure. Pressure would dissolve the floor. Without the floor, the 7% Covenant cannot hold. Without the Covenant, the mission collapses. The £450 lock is the foundation of foundations.
