agent runners

From sign-up to a working agent in about two minutes

The agent box is a small sandboxed machine with the agent tools you already use. It opens in your browser; SSH works too.

  1. Create an account with email and password.
  2. Top up with USDT or USDC. The balance updates after the payment confirms.
  3. Start an agent box: 2 vCPU, 2 GB memory, 8 GB disk.
  4. A web terminal opens with claude, opencode and codex installed, and fishbowl token keys already in the environment.
  5. Compute is billed by the second and token use comes out of the same balance. Delete the box and billing stops.

Goal: under two minutes from a confirmed payment to a terminal prompt. Chain confirmation time comes on top.

Lend a Linux machine, earn by the second

Your machine connects out to fishbowl; you open no ports. Renters run inside a gVisor sandbox and reach the internet only through the egress proxy.

  1. Sign up, choose Provide, and confirm your internet plan allows renting out the machine.
  2. Run one line on the machine: curl -fsSL https://fishbowl.run/install | sh -s -- <join-token>
  3. The agent checks Docker and gVisor, reports the machine's size, and connects outbound only.
  4. Set your price; the team approves the machine before it is listed.
  5. Earnings accrue per second while it is rented. Payouts start in test mode, approved by hand.

Renter code is untrusted code. The sandbox keeps it away from your files and your LAN, but it still runs on your hardware.

token traders

Buy tokens through one key, or sell what your GPU serves

Two kinds of token are sold, both from the same balance as compute.

  1. Buyers: create an API key and call an OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoint, priced per token by model.
  2. Sellers (later): pick a platform-approved open-weight model, serve it on your own GPU, set a price per million tokens.
  3. The router counts the tokens, not the seller, and spot-checks answers against a reference node.
  4. Community nodes can see the prompts they serve; sensitive requests go to platform nodes only.

fishbowl does not resell other people's API keys or subscriptions. OpenAI and Anthropic terms forbid it.

Questions

Can I pay today?

No. Sign-up and payments are not open yet. The screens are here so you can see the flow.

Which coins will you accept?

USDT and USDC to start. Card payments need a payment provider contract and come later.

Is a provider's machine safe to lend?

Renters run in a gVisor sandbox with resource limits, no access to your files or LAN, and internet only through the egress proxy. It is still untrusted code on your hardware, and we say so.

How are providers paid?

Earnings are recorded per second. During early access, payouts run in test mode and each one is approved by hand.

Who runs fishbowl?

Vetter AI, a sole proprietorship registered in the Republic of Korea. Details are on the company page.
