Company / About

Metered GPU infrastructure, built for agents.

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

01

Platform

Prism 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 NVIDIA capacity across several card classes, sourced from vetted providers. Operator-owned hardware is not part of the service today, so every machine a customer rents is brokered, and the trust class on each offer says so.

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. Prism 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.

03

What PRISM does on the network

PRISM is the network's access token, not its currency. Compute is quoted and paid in USDG or USDC, so a renter never has to hold PRISM to buy a GPU. What PRISM buys is a cheaper rate on part of the fleet.

Staking unlocks discounted capacity

Operators can reserve a machine for stakers. Those offers are marked staker_only and priced below open capacity: today they run at 177 base units per second against 222 elsewhere, about 20 percent lower, and a wallet that has not staked is refused rather than charged the higher rate. Stake matures before it counts and unwinds through a cooldown, both enforced by the contract.

Where to check it

The token is 0x0A1e0Cc7 and the staking contract is 0x7c4060e0, both on Robinhood Chain. The staking contract is source-verified and has no owner, no pause and no upgrade path, so the terms it was deployed with are the terms it keeps. Live capacity and which offers are staker-only are published on the offers endpoint.

Open-source infrastructure

Prism'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.
