Cryptocurrency Settlement & Billing
NovaPod is built from the ground up for the decentralized economy. Rather than requiring monthly credit card subscriptions, recurring contract minimums, or intrusive personal identity verification (KYC), compute on NovaPod is funded directly using non-custodial on-chain digital assets.

Second-by-Second Metering Engine
- Billing Precision: Your balance is deducted each second while your compute instance is running (
Active Burn Rate = Hourly Ask / 3600). - No Inactivity Retainers: When you stop or destroy your pod, billing stops immediately.
- Paused Storage Rate: When an instance is paused, GPU fees drop to $0.00; you pay only $0.00014 per GB per hour to keep your NVMe disk intact.
