01 / YOUR BUILDING BLOCKS
Start with what you need.
Seven ways to build.
Choose the pieces your project needs.
COMPUTE
Virtual machines
Your own Ubuntu workspace, ready for your tools. Connect over SSH, run your applications, and keep your work on persistent disk.
UbuntuSSH accessPersistent disk
WEB HOSTING
Hosting
Publish websites and WebAssembly apps. Connect a custom domain and keep application data in SQLite, without managing a VM.
Custom domainsWebAssemblySQLite
FILE MANAGER
PipeBox
Your files, without the command line. Upload folders, browse and preview media, and download what you need from your browser.
Folder uploadsMedia previews
APPLICATION STATE
Durable Objects
Give your app persistent state with SQLite, small files, and an authenticated API. Build counters, sessions, and shared workspaces.
SQLitePersistent state
CACHELimited access
KV Cache
Cache temporary data with a supported set of Redis commands. Connect your clients for key operations and automatic expiry.
Redis clientsKey expiry
AI INFERENCE
AI inference
Add chat, reasoning, and agent workflows to your application through an OpenAI-compatible API. Choose a model and start making requests. Inference uses a separate Pipe AI account.
OpenAI-compatibleModel choicePay per token

Get an API key from Pipe inference and set
PIPE_API_KEY before running. Requests use your
inference credit.
curl https://api.pipenetwork.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PIPE_API_KEY" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"model":"pipe/deepseek-v4-flash-0731",
"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello, Pipe."}]}'VM capacity and KV access vary by account. Check availability in your dashboard.
THE NETWORK BEHIND THE NAME
Built on an open-internet idea.
Pipe started with a belief that content delivery could be open and distributed, bringing capacity closer to the people using it. That idea continues to shape the infrastructure we build.
02 / A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before you build.
Get the details before connecting your application.
Talk to our teamWill my existing S3 tools work?
Firestarter supports core S3 operations using path-style addressing and SigV4. AWS CLI, boto3, and other clients need the settings in our compatibility guide. Unsupported features include versioning, lifecycle rules, and managed KMS encryption. Check the full limits before migrating a workload.
Where should I start?
Open your Pipe dashboard, connect a Solana wallet, and sign a free message. Choose a service and review its plans or usage rates. Add USDC credit in Billing when you need it; paid funding is a separate wallet approval. AI inference has its own account at pipenetwork.ai.
How does billing work?
Storage, VMs, hosting, KV Cache, and Durable Objects use your prepaid Pipe balance. Some services charge for usage; others use prepaid plans. Inference is billed separately through Pipe AI. Compare all pricing and billing terms, and review the exact charge in your dashboard before purchasing.
Can you help me test a workload?
Yes. Tell us what you want to build, the services you need, and the tools you use. We can help you check compatibility and plan a first test. For AI workloads, explore Pipe inference.
