How 1018 Marketplace Works
One compute marketplace.
Three ways to participate.
Buy available compute immediately, post your requirements and let providers compete, or list infrastructure you want to sell. 1018 Marketplace brings supply, demand and transaction management together in one marketplace.
The Marketplace
Buy. Bid. Sell.
1018 gives buyers and providers multiple ways to find each other without creating multiple disconnected marketplaces.
Buy Compute
Need compute now?
Browse live capacity already available from providers and purchase the infrastructure that matches your requirement.
Browse live inventory
Compare available hardware, capacity, region, pricing and availability.
Choose your capacity
Select the listing and quantity that fits your workload.
Place your order
Confirm the transaction and the provider begins provisioning your compute.
Compute Bids
Let providers compete for your demand.
If you need something specific, publish the requirement and let qualified providers compete with pricing and capacity.
Post your requirement
Specify hardware, quantity, region, timing, workload, budget and infrastructure requirements.
Receive competing offers
Providers submit their available capacity, pricing, location and commercial terms.
Choose the best offer
Compare providers and accept the offer that best fits your requirement.
A live signal of compute demand
Compute Bids also show providers what buyers are requesting: hardware, quantity, region, timing and target pricing. This helps providers gauge demand before deploying more capacity.
Sell Compute
Turn available infrastructure into revenue.
Providers can publish available capacity for immediate purchase while also competing for demand through Compute Bids.
List your capacity
Set hardware, quantity, location, pricing and availability.
Receive marketplace orders
Buyers can purchase available capacity directly from your listing.
Compete for buyer demand
Browse open Compute Bids and submit offers for workloads that fit your infrastructure.
One Order Process
Different ways to find compute. One transaction workflow.
A direct marketplace purchase and an accepted Compute Bid both create a 1018 compute order. From that point forward, buyers and providers use the same provisioning and access workflow.
Order Created
A buyer purchases a live listing or accepts a provider offer from a Compute Bid.
Provider Provisions
The provider prepares the infrastructure and securely supplies the required access details.
Compute Ready
Once provisioning and access information are complete, the compute is marked ready for the buyer.
Buyer Activates
The buyer claims access, confirms the compute and activates the infrastructure.
Common Order Lifecycle
Dashboard
One place to manage everything.
The Dashboard is not another marketplace. It is your control center for the activity you already have on 1018.
Compute Buyer Dashboard
Manage your compute.
Track marketplace orders, Compute Bids, provider offers, provisioning status and compute access from one place.
Compute Seller Dashboard
Manage your infrastructure business.
Manage listings, incoming marketplace orders, submitted Compute Bid offers, provisioning and transaction economics.
Marketplace Fee
1018 earns when a transaction happens.
Buyers can browse available compute and post Compute Bids without a marketplace transaction fee. When compute is transacted through 1018, the marketplace charges the provider a 10% fee.
The buyer sees the agreed rate. The marketplace fee is deducted from the provider side of the transaction.
Example
Marketplace Protection
The transaction stays organized inside 1018.
1018 keeps marketplace orders, Compute Bids, offers and provisioning activity tied to the transaction record.
Provider information and access workflows can be released at the appropriate stage of the transaction while 1018 preserves the commercial and provisioning history.
