We're building an AI-powered platform for per-minute IP resource rentals. Stay tuned for launch!
Executive Summary (From Our Proof of Concept)
IP Space (ipspace.ai) introduces an AI-driven platform for on-demand, per-minute rentals of IPv4 addresses, IPv6 prefixes, and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). This update incorporates feedback on regulatory feasibility, market validation, technical challenges, and pricing, refining the concept for greater viability. By automating inventory with AI, issuing time-limited Letters of Authorization (LOAs), and using cryptocurrency deposits for abuse prevention, the platform tackles IP scarcity and inefficiencies. Current IPv4 leasing averages $0.40-$0.80 per IP per month, with demand from cloud and hosting sectors driving short-term needs. The model supports crypto payments and diverse accounts, including AI-controlled ones. Revenue from rentals, forfeitures, and services projects $400K in Year 1, scaling to $4M by Year 3 with a phased MVP launch in 9-12 months.
Solution Overview
Key features, refined for feasibility:
- AI-Managed Inventory: Predictive models optimize allocations using PyTorch and networkx.
- Automated LOAs: Time-limited (starting at 1-hour minimum to align with RIR flexibility), compliant with RIR policies.
- Deposit-Based Abuse Mitigation: Crypto deposits (stablecoins) forfeited for violations, monitored by AI anomaly detection, with human oversight and appeals.
- Payments and Accounts: Crypto via Stripe/BitPay; supports personal/business/corporate/AI accounts, with KYC for high-risk.
- ASN Rentals: Short-term options via partners, starting with human-managed to address regulations.
