Resources: CPU, NET, RAM
PulseVM has no gas market. Capacity is provisioned, not auctioned.
| Resource | What it meters | How you get it |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | execution time | staked (by the institution/app) |
| NET | bandwidth | staked |
| RAM | state storage | purchased/provisioned per account |
Why institutions prefer this
- Users never buy a token to press a button. The application or institution stakes resources and sponsors its users — customer experience without crypto mechanics.
- Costs are capacity planning, not per-transaction tolls that spike with market activity.
- Reads are free — auditors, regulators, and analytics query the chain at no cost.
Practical notes
- RAM is sized per account; contracts pay for the table rows they create (the RAM payer is explicit in the API).
- Resource configuration (and pricing, where wanted) is system-contract policy — a deploying organization sets its own economics.
