Global Regions
Capacity in US East/West, EU, and APAC — pick the region closest to your data.
Real Capacity
Pricing in USD, settled in Solana. What you see at quote time is what you pay — no surge pricing, no hidden fees.
Rent compute from
your terminal
One command. Pick a config, pay in Solana, get SSH back. No browser, no dashboard, no wallet extension. A holder-only tool for people who live in the shell.
curl -fsSL https://kernelcpu.xyz/cli.sh | sh- →Zero dependencies. One Python file. No Node, no Docker, install in seconds.
- →Pay in Solana. The CLI shows a wallet and an exact amount. You send it, it verifies on-chain, you get the pod.
- →Your key, your pod. Your SSH key is injected at boot — direct root access, no shared credentials.
