Job Lifecycle

Astralis introduces a standardized flow for compute jobs:

1. Job Creation

   • A buyer submits a compute request, specifying GPU requirements and duration.

   • Pricing is expressed directly in USDT/hour (e.g., $2.50/hour for an A100).

2. Escrow

   • USDT is locked in escrow via Plasma’s contracts.

   • The paymaster ensures that execution costs are covered, with no secondary asset required.

3. Execution

   • The job runs on the assigned GPU provider.

   • Plasma handles gas abstraction, ensuring smooth processing without user-side complexity.

4. Settlement

   • Upon job completion, the provider is paid directly in USDT.

   • Funds are released from escrow, guaranteeing predictable and stable revenues.
