Commission is 15% and that is the only deduction; we put no hidden margin on top of your price. Below are three utilization scenarios for three configurations, and a net figure with electricity deducted. The numbers are examples — don't decide before putting in your own kWh price.
The payout infrastructure goes live in Phase 1. This page describes today's plan; the payout terms will be written into the host agreement when it ships.
Host section
Model
You set your hourly price. The price the customer sees is the price you wrote; we add nothing on top and go nowhere below. Your earnings accrue by the second and appear line by line in the host panel: which machine, which pod, how many seconds, how much.
Illustrative calculation: price, utilization, power draw and kWh price are assumptions; this is not measured revenue.
Worked examples
A month counts as 30 days = 720 hours. The amounts below are net of commission; electricity is not included — we deduct that in the next table. The utilization scenarios are assumptions: nobody can promise you a particular utilization.
| Configuration | List price | 40% utilization | 60% utilization | 80% utilization |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1× RTX 4090 | $0.42/hr | $102.82/mo | $154.22/mo | $205.63/mo |
| 4× RTX 4090 | $1.68/hr | $411.26/mo | $616.90/mo | $822.53/mo |
| 2× RTX A6000 | $1.76/hr | $430.85/mo | $646.27/mo | $861.70/mo |
Example / illustrative figures. The math: list price × 720 hrs × utilization × 0.85. Real earnings vary with your price, your region, your card, your scorecard and the demand that month.
Electricity
The formula is simple: net = (list price × hours worked × 0.85) − (average draw in kW × hours worked × your kWh price). You need two numbers: the average draw of your cards under load, and the kWh price on your own tariff.
| Configuration | Average draw | Monthly consumption at 60% | Electricity cost | Net at 60% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1× RTX 4090 | 0.55 kW | 237.6 kWh | −$28.51 | $125.71/mo |
| 4× RTX 4090 | 1.95 kW | 842.4 kWh | −$101.09 | $515.81/mo |
| 2× RTX A6000 | 0.70 kW | 302.4 kWh | −$36.29 | $609.98/mo |
Example / illustrative: a kWh price of $0.12 was assumed, and non-card system consumption was added to the draw. If your own tariff differs the result changes completely — in Turkish tariffs the differences between consumption bands and taxes are large.
Payouts
Your earnings accrue by the second; the weekly period closes every Friday. Commission is deducted and the remainder is transferred to your identity-verified account. For every period you download a line-by-line statement from the panel: which machine, which pod, how many seconds, at which price.
Payment is made by domestic bank transfer. The account name must match the identity verified at registration; no payment is made to a third party's account.
Payment is made through Stripe Connect; KYC and the payout flow run from there. The supported countries are limited to Stripe's coverage and are shown during registration.
We make no promises about your tax obligations. Whether you are an individual or a company, and which document you have to issue, depends on your situation, and the right answer comes from your accountant. Our job is to make the receipt/invoice process clear and give you a document for every payout; when we have settled that process it will be written here.

Next step
Every line on this page rests on a utilization assumption. Two things drive utilization: your price and your scorecard. The scorecard is computed from four metrics, its weights are published, and it sets the placement order directly.
