Metered AI Billing: Per-Operation Billing for Distributed AI Infrastructure
MeshNativeExchange provides metered AI billing for every distributed compute operation — routing, storage, inference, and privacy enforcement — billed in Vital DIU at signed, deterministic rates. No flat fees. No overages. Pure metered billing tied directly to compute output.
Metered AI billing on MeshNativeExchange means every compute operation — every routing request, every storage write, every inference token, every privacy enforcement check — is metered individually and billed in Vital DIU at a signed, deterministic rate. There are no platform fees, no seat licenses, and no usage approximations. Enterprises pay exactly for what they consume, and that obligation is settled to fiat through the Vital settlement engine on their billing cycle.
How Metered Billing Works
Real-Time Metering
Every compute event is captured at the mesh node level — routed through the Enterprise Billing Gateway and recorded immutably with full provenance.
Signed Rates
All billing rates are signed at the time of compute consumption — not post-hoc. Enterprises always know their exact obligation before a billing cycle closes.
Per-Cycle Aggregation
MeshNativeExchange aggregates metered usage per enterprise per billing cycle, producing a signed Vital invoice with line-item routing, storage, inference, and privacy breakdown.
Fiat Redemption
Accumulated Vital obligations are redeemed to fiat on the agreed cycle via the enterprise's selected banking rail — with rate locks applied at redemption initiation.
