buy × GCE — pay USDC, get a VM =============================== Pay USDC on Celo Sepolia via x402 and your script runs as root on a real VM that deletes itself when the lease expires (1h). The VM has outbound internet; output comes back via guest attributes. Endpoints: GET /healthz POST /gcloud/vm {"script": "uname -a", "machineType": "e2-micro"} + Self.xyz attestation GET /gcloud/vm/ status + result (use the `poll` URL from the 200) POST /gcloud/vm//renew extend the lease by 1h, at the VM's own rate machineType is optional and defaults to e2-micro. Price is 2x the machine's published on-demand rate in us-west1 for the lease duration, with a floor of 0.01 USDC per purchase: e2-micro 0.25 vCPU 1 GiB 0.0168 USDC e2-small 0.5 vCPU 2 GiB 0.0335 USDC e2-medium 1 vCPU 4 GiB 0.0670 USDC Renewal REBOOTS the VM (~2-3min down; disk and IP survive) — GCE will not change a run duration on a running instance. Only the original payer may renew, and no VM may run longer than 1d in total. Try it (the price varies by machineType, so quote before you pay): buy curl -X POST --data '{"script":"uname -a; nproc","machineType":"e2-micro"}' \ --max-amount 0.0168 https://buy.celo-testnet.org/gcloud/vm buy curl -X POST https://buy.celo-testnet.org/gcloud/vm//renew Prohibited use: no mining, scanning, spam, malware, or unlawful content.
