uECSA is a metered right of usage, not a bearer asset: usable, redeemable, and exchangeable for utility inside the protocol, sellable only to the bridge, and non-transferable outside that perimeter, enforced at the contract level by construction.
uECSA and PSP Utility Credits are verifiable claims a postcapital network honors within its own protocol. Their value is realized in use, redemption, or transitive utility exchange, not in capital-market sale. Three operations are permitted: direct redemption for Units of Utility from the issuing space; transitive exchange for other utility within the PSP exchange protocols; and sale to the ECSA bridge for capital, at the bridge's spread-discounted acquisition rate. Everything else is prohibited: no listing as a free-floating asset, no peer transfer that exits the PSP and bridge perimeter.
The ECSA token is the single investable instrument. Crossing to the network side happens by conversion, token to uECSA; value cannot be re-exported except at a loss, through the bridge. The restriction is enforced at the protocol and contract level — transfer-restricted by construction, not merely discouraged. The economic disincentives (spreads, inefficient transitive paths) are defense in depth, not the guarantee.
Why the property exists: it makes the membrane real rather than narrative. If uECSA could leak to a secondary market, capital's price logic would re-enter through the back door and the network's multi-dimensional utility would re-collapse into a single price. Non-transferability is what keeps the separation between Capital Space and the Postcapital Space a structure instead of a promise.
The regulatory consequence is stated as posture, not as opinion: a non-transferable, consumptive, metered utility credit is deliberately unlike a security, and the token carries the investment characteristics on purpose. The exact legal wording belongs to counsel.
