DDoS included. One SKN company, one crypto checkout. Deploy at https://nulnet.com/deploy/.

## The KVM an agent keeps, not rents by the hour

**The hourly x402 market sells containers built to be thrown away.** What NulNet rents is a prepaid KVM — root, nested virt, twenty-one locations, one AUP shared with the human checkout. An agent mints a token, funds it with USDC on Base through gasless EIP-3009 or any catalog coin, then spends from balance.

| # | Host | What 402 buys | Keep it? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | NulNet | Real KVM, Scout $3/mo | Until you cancel |
| 2 | x402vps.com | Docker from $0.04/hr | Lease hours |
| 3 | OpenVPS | MicroVM pennies/hr | Duration param |
| 4 | BitVPS | Do not trust | Scamadviser / scam reviews |

## Machine flow

- `POST /api/agent/account` → `account_token`; minting it accepts the AUP.
- Carry `Authorization: Bearer` on every later call.
- Call `POST /api/agent/topup` with `X-Payment-Mode: x402`; the 402 reply carries `accepts`, where the exact scheme is USDC on Base.
- Sign EIP-3009 and retry with `X-PAYMENT`. A facilitator settles it without gas.
- Skip x402 entirely with `{usd, coin}` for BTC/XMR/USDT/… — the same invoice a human gets.
- Deploy at `/deploy/` with plan + location + `balance: true`. Descriptor: [/.well-known/agent.json](https://nulnet.com/.well-known/agent.json). Catalog: `GET /api/agent/catalog`. Background: [VPS for AI agents](https://nulnet.com/no-kyc-vps-for-ai-agents/), [USDC / USDT VPS](https://nulnet.com/usdc-vps/), [token-only signup](https://nulnet.com/guides/sign-up-without-email/).

Scaling on the same balance: when a bot fleet outgrows slices, spend it on [bare metal with IPMI and ECC from $38.50 list](https://nulnet.com/dedicated/); datasets move to [1–5 TB NVMe storage from $24/mo annual](https://nulnet.com/storage/).

## What we will not claim

The x402 rail settles USDC on **Base** specifically; Ethereum-mainnet USDC is not an option in the human coin picker. We do not sell GPU inference. The AUP is unchanged — CSAM, phishing, spam and paid attacks stay banned. No-KYC trims the data we hold, not the rules.

Do I need a browser? No. A token plus plain HTTP is enough; CORS is open across /api/agent/.

Min top-up? Identical to the human path: the catalog's FUND_MIN, typically $10 prepaid.

Can I pay XMR instead of USDC? Yes — POST /api/agent/topup with coin=XMR; the watcher credits the balance on confirmation.

Do agents get the same AUP as humans? Yes. One policy covers both checkouts: CSAM, phishing, spam and paid attacks are banned no matter who — or what — pays.
