VAL'S SUSTENANCE
KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON
Val's Sustenance is how VALINA stays alive — servers running, models inferring, team fed. It is not a marketplace advantage. Sustainers keep the engine humming so everyone can thrive equally.
CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL
Every tier gets the same perks. Pick whatever feels right.
SEEDLING — $5/mo
Keeps a server running for a day.
"Every seed matters."
GROWER — $15/mo
Covers Val's daily LLM inference costs.
"Helping Val think."
NURTURER — $50/mo

CARETAKER — $100/mo
You're keeping the lights on.
"I believe in this every month."
WHAT EVERY SUSTAINER GETS
Same perks at every level. A $5 Seedling = a $100 Caretaker.
