Subscription Commerce on PYRAX
Subscription commerce depends on recurring billing that breaks constantly - failed cards, involuntary churn, and disputes - while giving customers little control. PYRAX replaces card-on-file with programmable recurring payments the user authorizes and can cancel anytime, settling each cycle instantly and privately with no chargebacks, and metering usage-based plans down to the block.

What's broken today
How PYRAX transforms it
Concrete network elements mapped to this business.
Programmable recurring payments
A subscription is a smart contract the user pre-authorizes; each cycle debits automatically with no card to expire, and the user can cancel unilaterally on-chain at any time.
BLS finality + shielded ZK settlement
Each billing cycle settles in one irreversible block with amounts private, eliminating recurring-charge chargebacks and dunning overhead.
GhostDAG usage-metered billing
Streaming, per-block metering lets usage-based plans charge exactly for consumption in real time instead of estimating monthly.
Multi-VM plan logic
Tiers, trials, proration, pauses, and upgrades are encoded in transparent contracts, so billing behavior is predictable and auditable to the customer.
PYRAX Compute verifiable churn/personalization
Retention offers and plan recommendations run on verifiable compute over customer-owned data, improving fit without surveilling subscribers.
