Spheron

Spheron Network is a decentralized GPU and cloud compute marketplace that aggregates enterprise-grade NVIDIA GPU capacity from certified Tier 3/4 data centers worldwide and exposes it through a single on-demand, per-minute billed interface. The marketplace covers H100, H200, B200, B300, A100, GH200, L40S, RTX PRO 6000, RTX 5090, RTX 4090, and pre-order GB200/GB300/ R100 inventory, priced 40-60% below hyperscaler rates with spot, reserved, and custom-cluster (8-512+ GPU) options. Teams access the platform through a web dashboard, a documented REST API at app.spheron.ai/api, a TypeScript Protocol SDK, an MCP plugin for Claude, SkyPilot integration, and Helm charts for self-hosted provider nodes. The Spheron Foundation also maintains an open compute protocol with Fizz nodes, provider nodes, ICL YAML configuration, and an on-chain payment system supporting both traditional payment rails and USDC/USDT stablecoin settlement. The company is transitioning from a pure decentralized protocol model toward an enterprise GPU procurement and aggregation marketplace while keeping the underlying provider network open and community-operated.

Spheron is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Compute, GPU, GPU Cloud, Decentralized Compute, and AI Infrastructure.

Spheron’s developer surface includes pricing, developer console, signup flow, documentation, API reference, engineering blog, GitHub presence, and 20 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Other styles, a README pill and a shields.io endpoint are on the badge page.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/spheron: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Stablecoins and Tokenization (stablecoin issuers, tokenized assets)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
