Only Pay For What You Use
How billing works
PaperPod runs your jobs in microVMs and charges only for the exact CPU + RAM you use, billed per second in USDC using the x402 protocol.
Built around the HTTP 402 status code, x402 enables users to pay for resources via API without registration, emails, OAuth, or complex signatures.
