Marketplace
Where farmers list capacity and users rent compute resources
The cloud belongs
to everyone
An open marketplace where anyone can provide compute capacity and anyone can rent it. Local nodes, global reach, no middlemen.
For Farmers
- Divide your node into slices (CPU, RAM, storage bundles)
- Set your own price per slice within allowed ranges
- Receive 80% of rental revenue in SPORE tokens
- Bid tiers guarantee a minimum income floor
- Reserve slices for personal use at no cost
For Users
- Browse available capacity by region, specs, or price
- Rent slices on-demand, no long-term contracts required
- Pay in fiat or crypto, converted to AUR internally
- Deploy workloads on rented slices via the dashboard
- Scale up or down by renting more or fewer slices
What is a Slice?
A slice is the atomic unit of the marketplace. Each slice is a fixed bundle of compute resources carved from a farmer's node. Slices are standardized so users can compare offerings directly.
A Mini 1 node (16 cores / 32 GB / 1 TB SSD) yields roughly 7 slices. Farmers choose how many to list and how many to keep for personal use.

Pricing
Farmer-Set Pricing
Farmers set their own price per slice within allowed bounds. Lower prices attract more renters; higher prices mean more revenue per rental but potentially fewer customers.
What Users Pay
Users pay the listed price. Payment can be made in fiat or crypto. The system converts it to AUR (gold-pegged) internally for stable pricing, then to SPORE for farmer payouts.
