You don't subscribe. You don't get billed at month-end. Every request anchors a signed receipt to a block; every epoch (~30 min) closes with deterministic settlement in GRID from escrow. Verifiable byte-for-byte on-chain — two honest nodes running the same code produce identical settlement. Catalog prices set by governance; v2 opens the market for operators to bid.
Pay in USD via Stripe. The dollars convert through the on-ramp into a GRID escrow you control; settlement to operators streams on-chain every epoch, in GRID, with a signed receipt for every request. GRID is the network’s single token — the unit you stake with and the unit every payout settles in. Prices stay in dollars so you never have to think about it; operators carry the volatility.
