Tenant journey
Five steps from requirement to running service
Step 1 · Verify
Complete the applicable identity requirements
Marketplace access is identity-gated in both directions. Tenants complete the identity requirements a provider or listing may ask for before matching.
What is VEID?Step 2 · Find
Browse the catalogue or describe requirements
Start from a published offering, or describe category, region, specifications and a price cap when you want the engine to find eligible listings.
Browse service typesStep 3 · Choose
Direct order, bid or selector
Take a listed price, open the order to competing providers, or match by attributes. All three paths resolve on-chain.
Three ways to buyStep 4 · Fund
Escrow backs the order and lease
Escrow is committed against the agreement — provably funded, and released only under settlement rules. Unspent balance returns to you.
Escrow & settlementStep 5 · Run
The provider provisions the service
The provider daemon routes the matched request into the provider's control plane and backend. Usage settles from escrow — full lifecycle in the guide.

Escrow funding for the order or lease. Funds are committed, not spent, until usage settles.
Requirements
Region, specifications, compliance or attestation needs — the inputs that make selector matching work.
