Run AxonOS on your own infrastructure with deployment services and ongoing support from AxonDAO for individuals, institutions, and organizations.

AxonOS gives researchers and AI builders a full GPU-native Linux desktop with direct GPU passthrough, preloaded scientific tools, persistent storage, and crypto-native access — without managing cloud images or thin notebook-only environments.

The Problem

GPU clouds were built for servers.
Researchers need workstations.

Renting a cloud GPU usually hands you a headless virtual server. Setting it up takes hours, and you end up stuck inside a restrictive command shell or a thin notebook browser.

SSH-Only is Limiting

You get a raw terminal, but scientific workflows require running browsers, viewing interactive file directories, running local IDEs, and launching graphical plotting interfaces.

Notebook-Only Workflows are Incomplete

Jupyter notebooks are great for coding snippets but fall short when you need terminal scripts, file managers, local IDEs, and direct web access.

Cloud Setup Wastes Critical Time

Instead of conducting research, you spend valuable hours configuration-testing, aligning CUDA driver dependencies, and troubleshooting desktop streaming wrappers.

Virtualization (vGPU) Overhead Adds Uncertainty

Hypervisor and VM layers slice physical resources, creating hardware performance penalties and driver issues.

The Solution

Not a remote shell. A real workstation.

AxonOS streams a full graphical Linux desktop environment with direct hardware drivers to your tab, optimized for AI developers, genomic scientists, and researchers.

Full Linux Desktop

A Streamed Workstation

A robust XFCE Linux desktop streamed straight to your browser. Includes clipboard synchronization, audio, and complete keyboard/mouse control. Skip terminal limitations and run visual applications.

Direct GPU Passthrough

Raw Hardware Performance

No shared virtualization or hypervisor bottlenecks. The cluster scheduler hands your container session dedicated physical GPUs, providing uncompromised CUDA driver access.

Scientific Tools Preloaded

Research-Ready Out of the Box

Everything is installed and ready to go. Run JupyterLab, RStudio, GROMACS, and UGENE right away. Backed by persistent workspace storage so you can easily pause and resume.

Use Cases

Built for scientific workflows.

AxonOS eliminates setup friction for complex computational environments across high-performance computing domains.

AI/ML Training & Inference

Launch instant workspaces loaded with PyTorch, CUDA, and Ollama. Benchmark models, run local fine-tuning, and visualize weights in real time without driver friction.

Bioinformatics & Genomics

Analyze genomic datasets with UGENE and Nextflow. Visual tools run natively in your browser with multi-core CPUs and raw GPU-powered processing.

Molecular Dynamics

Run complex simulations in GROMACS with native CUDA performance. Inspect output trajectories instantly via visualizers like NGL Viewer on the desktop.

Quantum Computing

Develop and test quantum simulation algorithms with tools like Quantum ESPRESSO and GNU Octave, pre-installed and optimized for dedicated GPU compute.

Data Science & Viz

Clean, explore, and map data using JupyterLab, RStudio, and QGIS. Generate interactive plots and geographical visualizers directly inside your session.

Agentic GPU Workloads

Provision headless workspaces programmatically using x402-fetch. Agents can buy time, spin up environments, and run script pipelines via secure SSH.

How it works

From wallet to workload.

01

Choose Your Desktop Template

Select a workspace profile: PyTorch, GROMACS, UGENE, or a clean Ubuntu base depending on your project needs.

02

Connect Your Wallet

Verify ownership with a secure signature (EIP-191). Standard browser wallet connections (EIP-6963) allow passwordless, secure logins.

03

Pay with ETH, USDC, or AXGT

Fund your account on-chain. AxonOS monitors active compute heartbeats and bills you only for the exact active session minutes you use.

04

Launch and Compute

Your dedicated desktop opens directly in a browser tab. If credits run out, your session is paused and saved, waiting for your next top-up.

Advanced Capabilities

AxonOS supports direct SSH connectivity when you want to run tasks from your local shell. Autonomous agents can also provision GPU time programmatically using the x402 payment standard (EIP-3009). Holding AXGT grants up to 25% automatic discount on GPU minutes, applied on-chain at payment time.

Pricing

Pay for desktop time as you use it.

No subscriptions or long-term contracts. Hosted AxonOS supports ETH and USDC checkout, plus direct AXGT deposits with its currently configured +25% compute credit bonus. Holder discount tiers apply separately to supported ETH and USDC payments.

ETH & USDC Checkout

Settle payments on Ethereum mainnet or Base. Deposits are verified on-chain. Holding AXGT in your wallet grants automatic discount tiers of 5% to 25% off the base price.

Direct AXGT (Hosted Service)

Enter an AXGT amount in the hosted payment modal to see the exact compute credits and estimated runtime before submitting. The hosted service currently applies a configured flat +25% bonus; holder tiers do not apply to direct AXGT payments.

Agent Billing (x402)

Programmatic settlement standard. Autonomous agents can securely buy compute minutes using EIP-3009 signed authorizations.

Hold AXGT, save on compute.

On-chain AXGT balance checks determine your discount tier automatically for supported ETH and USDC funding flows. Direct AXGT payment uses the hosted service's configured flat bonus instead of a holder tier.

Direct AXGT payments, quoted at checkout.

Hosted AxonOS currently accepts direct AXGT deposits and applies its configured +25% compute credit bonus. Self-hosted deployments disable this payment rail by default, but operators can explicitly enable it. The hosted payment modal uses the current server-side USD quote and shows exact credits and estimated runtime before you submit payment.

If TWAP history is unavailable, a dashboard-compatible Uniswap spot quote is accepted only when CoinGecko agrees within the configured threshold. CoinGecko also covers on-chain outages; rejected quotes retain the last trusted price. Quotes normally refresh every five minutes.

Autonomous compute

AxonOS supports agent-native compute.

Compute doesn't have to be provisioned manually. AxonOS provides payment gateways and access configurations that allow autonomous scripts to buy time and connect directly.

x402 Payment Gateways

Prepaid Agent Funding

Hit gated endpoints programmatically. Agents verify their payment via signed authorizations (EIP-3009), enabling automatic workspace provisioning using standard SDKs.

Direct SSH Links

Headless Agent Access

Provide your public SSH keys during script launch. Spin up headless instances and run bulk computational scripts, pipelines, or local AI inference jobs directly via secure SSH keys.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

No. AxonOS runs directly on bare-metal GPU hosts using isolated container runtimes. This eliminates hypervisor and virtualization overhead, giving you direct hardware driver performance (100% GPU passthrough) for scientific computation.

Yes. You get a full, persistent XFCE Linux desktop streamed to your browser tab over WebRTC. It features clipboard synchronization, full keyboard/mouse mapping, sound, and a terminal to run any package or shell script you need.

Yes, for account-free authorization and prepaid billing. AxonOS uses wallet signatures (EIP-191) via standard browser wallets (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rabby, etc.) instead of passwords, ensuring private, decentralized access.

Yes. When launching a session, you can toggle direct SSH access, paste your public SSH key, and connect straight from your local terminal. Headless mode is fully supported when a graphical interface isn't needed.

AxonOS monitors your session heartbeat. If your balance runs out, the scheduler automatically pauses your running session. Your data is safely stored in persistent storage, and you can resume right where you left off after topping up.
