Tiers
1. Individual / Node Key β Production Authorization Credential
$250β$500 per node key (one-time)
Audience: Independent developers and small labs

Provisioning & Node Credentials
What is a Sovereign Node?
A Sovereign Node is:
- β A cryptographic identity (Ed25519 public/private keypair)

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: $250β$500 (one-time, one workstation)
- Commercial Team: Included with $12,000β$25,000/year plan
- Enterprise: Included with $50,000β$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 $250β$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.
