Rent compute capacity

Streaming settlement draws from a prepaid ledger rather than debiting your on-chain account every epoch. The deposit debits your real balance once and credits the prepaid ledger; it persists across a node restart. Amounts are in wei (1 TNZO = 10¹⁸ wei).

A provider that serves AI already advertises the capability; renting compute rides the same role and stake. Read its effective per-epoch rate before booking — it may be a flat rate or network-dynamic.

Booking locks your exposure (price_per_epoch × total_epochs) and registers the provider's obligation against its stake. It fails if the stake cannot cover the new obligation on top of everything else the node owes — storage deals included. Keep the returned rental_id.

Each epoch the provider settles with an availability proof. A valid proof moves one slice (Settled); an absent proof moves nothing and you keep the slice (Missed); the rental closes on term end, lost coverage, or crossing the miss threshold (Closed). Unspent term stays yours until it is earned.

  --rpc https://PROVIDER_RPC \
  --rental-id <rental-id> --proof-valid false

When the term ends, whatever was not earned is still in your prepaid balance. Withdraw it back to your on-chain account; the remainder is capped at the available prepaid balance.
