Practical Examples

zk-Rollup Proof Generation Today, zk-rollup teams must juggle ETH for gas and USDT for operations, while hedging against ETH/USDT volatility. On Astralis, proof generation workloads are provisioned directly in USDT, with Plasma’s paymaster sponsoring all gas. The result is a predictable, single-currency cost basis for proving operations.

AI Model Inference Teams renting GPUs on decentralized networks today must acquire RNDR or AKT, exposing themselves to liquidity and volatility risks. On Astralis, models can be uploaded, executed, and settled entirely in USDT. This allows AI teams to treat Astralis as a SaaS compute provider — with crypto-native settlement but enterprise-ready pricing.
