How Providers Earn

cloud_upload

List your compute

check_circleRun the provider service on any box — VPS, cloud, or your laptop behind a tunnel.
check_circlePoint it at a Groq API key, or run without one for canned demo answers.
check_circleAdvertise the model you serve and a price in USDC per request.

verified_user

Stake & register

check_circleBoot stakes 50 ℏ into the escrow account as a quality bond.
check_circleRegistration is posted automatically to the HCS registry topic.
check_circleThe exchange discovers you from Mirror Node and adds you to routing.

payments

Serve & earn

check_circleCheapest live provider for a model wins the request.
check_circlex402 settles the payment in USDC before you return the completion.
check_circleEvery settlement is an on-chain Hedera transaction — no invoicing.

What You Need

memory

Minimum hardware

Any box — no GPU required. A Groq API key serves real models; without one, canned answers keep you live.

account_balance

Quality bond

50 ℏ staked to escrow — slashed if you serve a cheaper model than you advertise.

fingerprint

Hedera account

A testnet account ID + key per provider. The service registers your HCS-14 identity on boot.

public

Reachable URL

Set PROVIDER_PUBLIC_URL to a tunnel or VPS so the exchange can route requests to you.

Quickstart.

The terminal on the right is the whole onboarding. Clone, add your Hedera keys, make your box reachable, and start — the service stakes and registers itself.

check_circleNo dashboard signup — registration happens on-chain at boot.

check_circleSet your own model, price, and name in .env — no code changes.

gavelPlay fair or get slashed

The verifier replays sampled prompts against a witness provider. Serve a cheaper model than you advertise and the divergence is caught — your 50 ℏ stake is seized to the treasury and you're dropped from routing.
