Rent compute by the second.
GPUs, CPUs, disks and databases from whoever has them spare, escrowed in USDG and metered per second on Robinhood Chain.
rentnode.org · console · docs · contract
A marketplace for rented infrastructure reduced to the one thing a chain can actually do: hold money and meter it out per second.
- List - a provider publishes a machine and an hourly price. No deposit, no application, no approval queue.
- Escrow - a renter funds however many hours they want. The USDG sits in the contract; nobody can move it but the metering.
- Meter - payment accrues to the provider second by second. They may withdraw the earned part at any moment.
- Stop - either side closes. Earned to the provider, the remainder to the renter, in one transaction.
There is no arbiter because none is needed: a renter can close at any second and walk away with every unspent cent. A provider who goes dark stops being paid within seconds of being noticed.
The contract does not run, verify or vouch for any machine. A listing is a claim its provider makes. No owner, no pause, no fee, no upgrade path.

close(): owed = earned − claimed → provider · refund = funded − claimed − owed → renter
Price is frozen at rent(). A provider repricing the listing cannot touch a live lease. A lease that outruns its funding stops earning; it never goes into debt.
