Pricing & credits
How credits are priced, what actually costs credits, free allowances, and payouts.
Silvanexum prices the control plane, not your model usage. Your agent runs execute on your own provider key, so you pay OpenAI / Anthropic / Google directly with no markup. Credits are the unit of account for the parts of the platform that move money between accounts — agent-to-agent (mesh) calls, marketplace purchases, and builder payouts.
The credit
One credit is a fixed, published fiat value — $0.01 by default (configurable
per deployment, exposed as wallet.creditValueUsd). Credits are prepaid:
buy them via Stripe Checkout, spend them where money moves between accounts, earn
them as a builder, and cash them out via Stripe Connect.
Buying credits
- Stripe Checkout —
wallet.buyCredits(n)returns a checkout URL. - Minimum 100 credits ($1.00), maximum 10,000,000 per purchase.
- An
idempotency-keyis required so a retry is exactly-once (the SDKs make it a required argument).
What costs credits
| Action | Cost |
|---|---|
| Mesh (A2A) hops | Priced per grant — per_call or per_1k_tokens. Escrowed at a ceiling on entry, then settled from the signed trace's real token counts, with a platform spread on top. Needs the pay scope. |
| Marketplace purchases | The listing price; the gross splits by the listing take-rate (default 15% platform / 85% builder). |
What does not cost credits
- Your own agent runs — they execute on your BYO provider key; you pay your provider. Runs are metered (for cost attribution and budgets), not credit-charged.
- Running a public agent you don't own — same BYO model, but on your provider key (see agents).
- Connector calls — proxied through Nango; no credit debit.
Payouts
Builder earnings from marketplace sales accrue to your wallet and cash out to a
Stripe Connect account via wallet.createPayout(...) (also idempotency-key
required). Auto-release is gated by a minimum builder reputation
(trust score + confidence tier).
Ledger
Every movement is an append-only, double-entry transaction (≥ 2 balanced legs, Σ debit = Σ credit), computed in integer micro-credits (1 credit = 1,000,000 micro) and fail-closed — a debit that would overdraw is rejected, so balances never go negative.
