Deployment 001 — South Florida
99 of 99 charter nodes remaining
What charter members get
A permanent rate, locked in before launch.
- Permanent charter discount on all rates — at this site and every future Smelt Cloud site.
- Priority provisioning — activated before standard customers.
- Direct engineering access during buildout.
- Private member network.
How it works
Four steps.
- Apply — 5 questions, 2 minutes.
- We review and approve within 48 hours.
- Add a payment method to secure charter status — your card is not charged until Deployment 001 activates.
- When the cohort fills, we build your infrastructure and you're the first ones provisioned.
Charter commitment
Prepay your first 3 months to secure charter membership.
This is a service prepayment, not a separate fee — it's applied as credit to your first 3 months.
If you choose annual or 3-year prepaid, the commitment is included in your full prepayment.
Your card is validated but not charged until the charter cohort threshold is met. If the threshold is not met within the commitment window, your card is never charged.

No payment required. We'll notify you when standard capacity is available.
Waitlisted customers are activated after the charter cohort at standard member rates.
