What must hold before anything is sold

What must hold before anything is sold

These conditions are not built yet; each is a roadmap item of Stado, and selling without it costs more than it earns:

  • The model may be sold. Per-token sales serve a model under its license and its base model's. A repository that declares no license, or forbids commercial use, is not sold.
  • A renter reaches only what it rented. A rented board runs a stranger's container on a fleet host. Before listing, the host must show that the container reaches its own board, disk and the internet, and none of the host's credentials, agent, registry or local network.
  • The board comes back. A marketplace's on-demand contract cannot be ended before its end date, even by withdrawing the offer, so the end date is kept short and renewed while the board stays idle.
  • Only free boards are offered. A host with one board held by an inference deployment offers its other boards, not none.
  • The cost is whole. An owned hour costs the energy above the board's idle draw, priced in the tariff's currency converted at a declared rate, plus the hardware's purchase price spread over its declared service life. Energy alone overstates the margin; whole-board energy understates it.
  • The line allows it. A listed host's uplink is measured and published, and the internet contract allows commercial hosting.
  • Maintenance is announced. Fleet work that takes a listed host down first schedules maintenance with the marketplace, so the host's reliability score, which decides how often it is rented, does not fall.
  • The decision is measured. Prices, occupancy, per-token prices and throughput are read before choosing what to sell. A board-hour goes to the use with the highest measured margin, where the fleet's own waiting work has a declared value, and a source whose margin stays negative is withdrawn.
  • Outside customers can reach it. A public entrance that needs no tailnet, per-caller metering and the selling product's own launch approvals come before any customer outside the fleet.
  • A failing host is withdrawn before it breaks a contract. A host whose board, disk, link or agent starts failing withdraws its other offers and announces maintenance for the contract in place.
  • The fleet as a whole earns. The work is judged by one answer: over a window, the fleet's income from every source less its measured cost, naming each host and source that lost money.
