PAX-Coder Pricing & Provisioning

Last Updated: 2026-08-18
All prices in USD


Overview

PAX-Coder is a commercial product. Production authorization requires contact, approval, and a commercial agreement.

All production access requires approval and commercial terms. Contact for access request at CONTACT.md.


Tiers

1. Individual / Node Key β€” Production Authorization Credential

$250–$500 per node key (one-time)

Audience: Independent developers and small labs

What this tier grants:

A provisioned Sovereign Node Key that authorizes your workstation for production operations.

  • βœ… One production-authorized node (one workstation)
  • βœ… Ed25519 cryptographic identity + operator-signed authorization
  • βœ… Authority to sign official releases
  • βœ… Authority to deploy production kernels
  • βœ… Local production execution rights
  • βœ… Provisioning is permanent (non-revocable unless terms violated)

What this tier does NOT include:

  • ❌ Commercial licensing (BSL-1.1 applies; separate commercial agreement required)
  • ❌ Commercial redistribution rights
  • ❌ Enterprise support SLA

Process:

  1. Submit provisioning request
  2. Commercial review
  3. Agreement negotiation
  4. Payment processing
  5. Team provisioning setup

3. Enterprise Verification

$50,000–$150,000+ per year

Audience: Mission-critical, defense, and FinTech deployments

What's included:

  • βœ… Unlimited Sovereign Node keys
  • βœ… Custom Lean 4 proof modeling for your kernels
  • βœ… Formal kernel audits and sign-off
  • βœ… Direct SLA (response time guarantees)
  • βœ… White-label embedding rights
  • βœ… Enterprise commercial licensing
  • βœ… Custom hardware target support
  • βœ… Direct technical contact
  • βœ… Annual renewal

Custom packages available:

  • Multi-year contracts
  • Exclusive deployments
  • Custom feature development
  • Governance involvement

Process:

  1. Executive engagement
  2. Detailed requirements gathering
  3. Custom quote
  4. Legal/procurement
  5. Deployment and provisioning

4. Proof Audit & Sign-Off

$10,000+ per custom kernel

What's included:

  • βœ… Formal verification of custom CUDA kernel
  • βœ… Lean 4 proof verification outside standard axiom basis (PO_1–PO_8)
  • βœ… Cryptographic sign-off with Sovereign Node key
  • βœ… Detailed audit report
  • βœ… Proof artifact

Process:

  1. Submit kernel and specifications
  2. Audit engagement
  3. Verification and proof development
  4. Sign-off and delivery

Provisioning & Node Credentials

What is a Sovereign Node?

A Sovereign Node is:

  • βœ… A cryptographic identity (Ed25519 public/private keypair)
  • βœ… A provisioned authorization record
  • βœ… Eligible for signed authorization capabilities
  • βœ… Bound to commercial agreement terms

A Sovereign Node is NOT:

  • ❌ Something generated locally by running a script
  • ❌ Something from cloning the repository
  • ❌ A self-signed or self-authorized credential
  • ❌ Automatically available to anyone

FAQ

Q: Can I access the repository?

A: Repository access is free for verification/testing. Production authorization requires contact, approval, and the applicable commercial tier. See CONTACT.md.

Q: Do I get a Sovereign Node automatically?

A: No. Approval is required for access. To perform protected operations (signing releases, production deployment), you need a provisioned node through the appropriate tier after approval and payment.

Q: How much does a Sovereign Node cost?

A: It depends on your usage:

  • Individual: $250–$500 (one-time, one workstation)
  • Commercial Team: Included with $12,000–$25,000/year plan
  • Enterprise: Included with $50,000–$150,000+/year plan

Q: Can I generate a node key locally?

A: You can generate a local cryptographic keypair, which creates a node IDENTITY. However, this is NOT a provisioned node. It is UNREGISTERED and UNAUTHORIZED for production use. Only provisioned nodes (obtained through purchase/provisioning) are authorized for protected operations.

Q: What's the difference between node IDENTITY and node AUTHORIZATION?

A:

  • Identity: A cryptographic public key + metadata. Anyone can generate one locally. Not sufficient for authorization.
  • Authorization: A provisioned credential from PAX-Coder authority, issued only after provisioning. Required for protected operations.

Q: Can I use an Individual node on multiple machines?

A: The Individual tier includes one provisioned node for one workstation. Additional machines require additional node keys (additional $250–$500 each). Commercial Team and Enterprise tiers support multiple nodes.

Q: What happens if I don't renew my subscription?

A:

  • Individual: One-time purchase; no renewal required. Your node remains active indefinitely (unless revoked for terms violation).
  • Commercial/Enterprise: Upon renewal deadline, the subscription ends. Existing nodes become inactive; new authorization capabilities are not issued. Contact for reactivation.

Q: Can I transfer my node to another person/organization?

A: No. Nodes are provisioned to the named organization/individual. Transfer requires a new provisioning request and agreement.

Q: What if I violate the commercial terms?

A: Terms violations may result in:

  • Provisioning revocation
  • Capability expiration
  • Node deactivation
  • Legal action (depending on violation severity)

Contact support if you believe a violation has occurred.

Q: How do I request an Enterprise contract?

A: Email:

jessica@collectivekitty.com

Include:

  • Organization name
  • Executive/technical contact
  • Deployment requirements
  • Estimated kernel volume
  • Custom requirements

Enterprise team will respond within 2 business days.
