# What It Buys > Mining without a buyer is a treadmill. Vision Credits are the consumption-side primitive that turns the network's data into recurring economic demand. *** ## Definition One Vision Credit grants the right to **query, license, or stream a defined unit of verified vision data**. **Example unit:** one minute of segment-level access in a one-square-kilometer hex during a one-week window. The exact unit is a governable parameter. The Foundation will publish a v1 schedule before any Credit is sold. *** ## Why Vision Credits Matter Vision Credits are the **demand side** of the Clawglasses economy. Without them, mining rewards come only from scheduled emissions. With them, miners earn from real economic demand for the data they capture. Every Vision Credit purchased burns $SIGHT, creating buy-side pressure that benefits the entire supply side. {% hint style="info" %} See [Pricing](broken://pages/a7b0a0d951a0140b9633a8f71ed5aca37370ce89) for the USD-denominated pricing mechanism and burn split. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
