One click. Any machine. Checked first.

Launch a ready-made setup, like a blockchain node, a model server or a game server, on any machine whose owner allows it. Every image is reviewed before it runs.

READY-MADE SETUPS

XE Images is a catalogue of ready-made setups, a blockchain node, a model server, a game server, that you launch in one click on any machine whose owner allows it.

An image is the whole setup, packaged once by a builder: the software, its configuration, and a plain declaration of what it needs and what it may reach. XE reviews it before anyone can launch it. It runs paid per second from escrow, and the builder earns a royalty every time it boots.

LauncherYou want it running

Does: Picks an image and where it should run, then clicks once.
Gets: A working setup in seconds, with no account and no cloud signup.
Controls: The country, the price, and when it stops.

BuilderYou made the setup

Does: Packages it once, declares what it needs, and submits it for review.
Gets: A royalty every time it boots, anywhere on the network.
Controls: Versions, updates, and what the image asks for.

Machine ownerYou run the hardware

Does: Sets in the node app which images and access levels it accepts.
Gets: Paid per second, from escrow, for every image it runs.
Controls: Everything that starts on the machine. Nothing runs that its policy doesn’t allow.

THE PROBLEM

The same setup, by hand, every single time.

By hand

01Open an account with a host, and wait for approval

02Provision a server, then install the software on it

03Find a configuration that works, and hope it’s safe

04Open the ports it needs, and close everything else

05Pay by the month, whether it runs or not

06Do it all again for the next one

With XE Images

THE CATALOGUE

Ready-made, reviewed,
one click away.

Each image says exactly what it needs and what it may reach, so it only starts on machines whose owners allow it. Choose one, choose where, and launch it.

CHECKED FIRST

Nothing boots until it’s been checked.

Every image passes review before a single machine owner is offered it. The builder locks XE to submit, so every listing has something at stake.

The reviewsolana-rpc:1.18.4

It builds, starts and does what its description says
It asks for the CPU, memory and storage it declares
It reaches only the network it declares
It has a named publisher with XE locked behind it
It’s different enough from what’s already listed

ROYALTIES

A royalty on every boot, anywhere on the network.

Package a setup once and publish it. Every time someone launches it, on any machine, in any country, you’re paid.

Lock XEBehind the image you publish. It lists the image, and it stops junk copies of someone else’s work.

Every bootAnyone, anywhere, launches it on a machine that allows it. Each launch is recorded to the image.

Your royaltyPaid to you for every boot, for as long as people run it. Your lock comes back when you unlist.

FOR BUILDERS

Package it once.
Earn every time it boots.

An image is a folder with a manifest: what it is, what it needs, what it may reach. Build it, test it against the review’s own checks, and publish it from your terminal.

FOR AGENTS

An agent can launch one in a single call.

An agent that needs a node, a model or a database doesn’t install anything. It picks a checked image, pays for it from its own account, and gets back an endpoint.
