ABox Nodes

Plug-and-play compute for the agent economy. Three A-Core tiers, compute fees for work performed, 17,279 total node slots.

"ABox is the core AI node device of the Astarter network, enabling anyone to run agents and join the global AI economy."

ABox is Astarter's core compute node · plug-and-play hardware that connects to the Astarter network, runs AI agents, and earns compute fees for the operator who runs it.


Core Features

Feature
Description

Open Protocol

Powered by AI Agent infrastructure and compatible with major open-source agent frameworks.

On-Chain Execution Capability

Built-in execution engine enables agents to call smart contracts and perform trades, strategies, and other economic actions.

Plug-and-Play Node

An AI node device that connects to the Astarter network and starts running agents out of the box.

Multi-Agent Runtime

Supports multiple AI agents running in parallel for coordinated strategies and complex workflows.


How ABox Works

  1. Purchase your ABox node · choose your A-Core tier

  2. Connect to the Astarter network · plug and play

  3. Deploy AI agents using the AI Agent framework or compatible tools

  4. Earn compute fees for agent execution, DEX execution, marketplace hosting, and other compute work the node performs


A-Core · The AI Chip

A-Core is the AI chip built for autonomous agents, intelligent systems, and the decentralized infrastructure of the Web4 internet. A-Core acts as the economic execution layer within ABox nodes.
