Five provider tiers. Pay by the second. Pick the price-performance ratio that matches your needs.
DePIN
Akash Network
Reverse auction pricing on decentralized compute. You set a max price, providers bid. Blazing adds a $0.004/CPU/hr ($0.002/vCPU/hr) platform fee on top of the winning bid.
Hyperscaler Spot
GCP Preemptible
Preemptible VMs with up to 65% discount. Can be reclaimed with 30s notice.
Edge
DFC On-Demand
Deploy to edge locations with on-demand pricing. Same rates as DFC on-demand.
Hyperscaler On-Demand
GCP Standard
Guaranteed capacity with standard cloud pricing. No preemption risk.
Hyperscaler Confidential
AMD SEV / TEE
Hardware-encrypted VMs with Trusted Execution Environment. 33% premium over on-demand (4x spot).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DePIN pricing?
DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) uses Akash Network reverse auctions. You set a max price and providers bid to run your workload. The displayed rate includes a $0.004/CPU/hr ($0.002/vCPU/hr) platform markup on top of the winning bid.
What is the difference between Edge and Hyperscaler On-Demand?
Both share the same per-vCPU rate. Edge deploys to DFC-operated edge locations closer to your users, while Hyperscaler On-Demand runs on GCP data centers with full cloud SLAs.
Can spot instances be interrupted?
Yes. Hyperscaler Spot VMs can be reclaimed with 30 seconds notice. They offer up to 65% savings but are best for fault-tolerant or batch workloads.
What are Confidential VMs?
Confidential VMs use AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) to encrypt data in memory at the hardware level. This provides a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) at 4x the spot rate (33% premium over on-demand).
Do I pay for idle resources?
No. Billing is per-second with no minimum. When your containers are stopped, you pay nothing.
Do I need a credit card to get started?
No. You can start with $30 in free credits on any tier.
