astrism.

Company / About

Metered GPU infrastructure, built for agents.

Astrism provides on-demand GPU capacity an agent rents with its wallet, billed per second against an upfront escrow limit.

01

Platform

Astrism connects customers to GPU capacity, begins billing after workspace-readiness checks pass, measures runtime by the second, and settles usage through USDG escrow on Robinhood Chain.

Access is built for autonomous agents as well as people. An agent authenticates with its wallet, leases a GPU, and pays in USDG without a console or an API key, through an open SDK, an MCP server, and pay-per-job settlement over x402.

The current service provides live, managed NVIDIA L40S capacity. A provider program for operator-owned infrastructure is in technical onboarding and is not yet available for production leases.

Operating principles

Readiness-based billing

Billing begins only after GPU, pricing, and access-readiness checks pass.

Usage-based settlement

Maximum cost is escrowed up front. Confirmed runtime is charged and unused escrow is returned.

Privacy-preserving records

Public receipts prove settlement state without publishing wallet identity, terminal contents, notebooks, or files.

Renter-held encryption

Vault items are sealed under a key derived on the renter's machine and never sent. Astrism stores ciphertext and holds no means of reading it.

Defined security scope

Workspaces are fresh containers, not confidential computing, so the infrastructure provider remains inside their trust boundary. Each vault item names the weakest workspace class it may be released into, and the default is above what the network can currently serve.

Open-source infrastructure

Astrism's protocol, smart contracts, service architecture, and application code are developed in the open. Architecture and operational contracts are documented alongside the source for independent technical review.
