  6. Start earning once approved—node runs automatically in background

Earnings & Payouts

Compensation details:

  • Compensation varies based on network demand and node availability
  • Calculated per compute hour (actual GPU utilization, not idle time)
  • Payouts processed monthly to your preferred method (crypto or bank transfer)
  • Track earnings in real-time via node dashboard

Privacy & Security

Your node processes encrypted workloads:

  • All data is encrypted end-to-end—you never see user data
  • Zero-access architecture: impossible to decrypt processed data
  • All computation is auditable via cryptographic proofs

API Endpoints (Beta)

Control Plane

API gateway for authentication and service coordination. The system automatically routes to available endpoints with built-in failover.

Monitoring & Status

Check service health and monitor system status:

  • Health Check: /api/cp-health (relative endpoint)
  • Status Page: status.html

Beta Notes

  • All endpoints are staging environment—production URLs will differ
  • Failover routing handled automatically by infrastructure
  • Check the status page to see the active health source

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Desktop app won't start

  • Ensure you have the latest version installed
  • Try running as administrator (Windows) or with sudo (Linux)
  • Check system requirements—GPU may not meet minimum spec

Sync not working between devices

  • Verify you're signed in with the same account on both devices
  • Check internet connection—sync requires active connection
  • Force sync in Settings → Sync → "Sync Now"

Lost recovery phrase

  • If you're still signed in, go to Settings → Security → "View Recovery Phrase"
  • Write it down immediately and store securely offline
  • If completely lost and signed out, data cannot be recovered (by design)

Node not earning credits

  • Verify node is approved (check email for approval notification)
  • Ensure node is running (check system tray icon or process manager)
  • Check internet connection—node must be online to receive jobs
  • Earnings fluctuate based on network demand—low demand = fewer jobs
