Bitcoin ordinals as keys to high‑performance VPS
No passwords. No accounts. Own an ordinal, prove it, and get SSH access. Configure a VPS, buy the access token on-chain, and your sat becomes your server.
Configure your VPS
Pick your specs, choose how to pay, then inscribe your Access Token.

On-chain: Xverse builds one inscription tx that pays the VPS cost via appFee and mints your Access Token in a single broadcast.
Lightning: Pay the VPS cost via LN invoice first, then inscribe the Access Token in a separate tx (miner fee only).
How SatKey works
Three steps from configuration to SSH access.
Configure your VPS
Pick CPU, RAM, storage, region, and an optional stack preset. The configurator produces a protocol-compliant Access Resource definition.
Mint or buy an Access Ordinal
The Access Token is inscribed on-chain as a Bitcoin ordinal. Buy one from the marketplace or mint your own when self-hosting.
Prove ownership → get access
Sign a challenge with your wallet. The verifier checks ordinal ownership on-chain, then grants SSH or API access. No accounts, no passwords.
