No account · No KYC · BTC & Monero
A disposable server in seconds — no signup, no ID, no card. Your token is your account. Bitcoin or Monero is your payment. The API is your console.
POST /v1/servers with your SSH key — live in seconds.Traditional cloud wants your identity before it gives you a shell. We flipped it: pay first, prove nothing, launch now.
POST /v1/servers — live in secondsssh root@… — the box is yoursNo dashboards to learn, no tickets to file. The whole product is three API calls — or three clicks.
A 256-bit token is your entire account — no name, no email, nothing to leak or subpoena. Keep it secret; it's the only key that opens your balance and your boxes.
Send Bitcoin or Monero. We watch the chain but never hold your coins — deposits go to a wallet only you control. Your balance is prepaid, priced in plain USD.
One call spins up a real VPS with your SSH key baked in. renew to extend, delete to stop — and we refund the hours you didn't use.
No SDK required. If you can curl, you can run infrastructure here. Same token drives payments, servers, and — soon — AI.

Prepaid from your token balance. No monthly lock-in, no surprise invoice — because there's no invoice, and we don't know who you are.
Metered access to niche and uncensored AI models — chat or API — paid from the exact balance that runs your servers. No accounts, no gatekeepers, no ledger of your prompts. The alien intelligence the mothership was built to carry.
On the roadmapWatch-only wallets. Your coins go straight to you — we can't touch them, and can't lose them.
No email, no name, no card. We can't dox what we never collected.
Pay in the open or pay privately. Monero-first, always.
Key-only SSH with the key you supply. We have no password into your box.
Spin up, tear down. Destroy on a whim and reclaim the time you didn't burn.
No form. No wait. Mint a token and you're already a customer.
