Rent a confidential VM with USDC — no signup
Buy a dedicated confidential VM (Intel TDX) by the hour with USDC over x402. Docker in, endpoint out. No account, no API key — the paying wallet owns the machine.
What you get
One payment buys one dedicated confidential VM running your Docker workload. Every machine is confidential compute (Intel TDX) with a remote-attestation quote and a public proof page, so you can verify the hardware before trusting it with secrets.
There is no signup and no API key. The wallet that pays is the account: it owns the deployment, reads its state, renews it, destroys it.
How a buy works
POST /api/compute/deployments with {"plan", "hours", "compose"} (or "image" for a one-container run). With no payment header the answer is HTTP 402 carrying an accepts array — one entry per network with the exact USDC amount for your request. Quoting is free and repeatable; nothing is charged.
Sign that amount as an EIP-3009 transfer authorization and send the same request again with the signature in the X-PAYMENT header. Settlement confirms on-chain, the machine provisions, and the billed clock starts when status reads "running" — not at payment.
Prices are read live from GET /api/compute/catalog. Buying more hours in one payment is cheaper per hour: each payment carries one on-chain settle, and the fee spreads across the hours it buys.
Running your workload
Your compose must publish a port; the endpoint is the published host port on the machine gateway. Add "aliasTarget" to serve on a dedicated domain whose certificate is issued inside your machine — no proxy of ours sits in front of your traffic and we never hold the key.
Environment values are sealed to the enclave and never stored.
FAQ
Do I need an account or API key?
No. The wallet that pays is the whole identity. It buys, reads, renews and destroys its own machines.
Can an AI agent do this end to end?
Yes — the flow is two HTTP requests: read the 402 quote, sign it (EIP-3009), resend with X-PAYMENT. The docs at /api/compute/docs are written for software.
What is the price?
Read GET /api/compute/catalog — prices are computed from live costs at request time, differ per network, and every 402 quotes the exact number you will pay.
Why should I trust the machine?
Every VM is Intel TDX confidential compute with a remote-attestation quote and a public proof page you can verify.
