Pricing
Transparent, pay-per-use pricing for distributed computing.
How Pricing Works
AetherGrid uses a token-based economy where computational resources are exchanged for Aether tokens. Unlike traditional cloud providers, you can both earn and spend tokens within the same ecosystem.
Token Economics
- Earn Tokens: Contribute your idle computing resources to the network
- Spend Tokens: Use tokens to run your computational tasks
- Trade Tokens: Exchange tokens on supported cryptocurrency exchanges
- Self-Sustaining: Offset your computing costs by contributing resources during less busy hours
Computing Costs
Pricing is based on actual resource consumption.
- When you submit a program to the grid, it’s difficulty is computed on a benchmark system.
- Based on the computation difficulty and the length of time utilized, a price is calculated per system.
You only pay a single upfront amount. It is up to the computer clients to decide how much they will compute for the amount.
Getting Started
Option 1: Earn First
- Install the AetherGrid client

- Start earning tokens automatically
- Use earned tokens for your own computations
Option 2: Purchase Tokens
- Buy AetherGrid tokens on supported exchanges
- Transfer tokens to your AetherGrid wallet
- Submit computational tasks immediately
- Pay only for what you use
