NodeBridge

How launching works

We are pre-launch. Here is the exact path to a renter.

NodeBridge opens to renters in one move: when enough hosts have listed enough machines. Until then nobody is paying for compute here. This page is the whole plan, with no dates attached.

  1. You can do this today

    1

    Create your account and list a node

    Available now

    You sign up, describe the machine and set your own hourly rate. About five minutes, no payment details.

    What we need from you · An account and the specs you already know about your machine — about five minutes.

  2. 2

    Install the one-line agent

    Available now

    One command starts the agent on the host. Your node then appears in the directory under your account.

    What we need from you · Shell access to the machine, and the install command from your host console.

  3. What we're doing before launch

    3

    We fill the founding cohort

    Before launch

    We onboard the first 10 hosts and keep going until 25 nodes are listed.

    What we need from you · Nothing. Keep your node listed and we count it while the cohort fills.

  4. 4

    We open the marketplace to renters

    Before launch

    Only once the node quota is met do we take the marketplace live for renters.

    What we need from you · Nothing. Everyone on the renter waitlist hears from us the day it opens.

  5. 5

    Your first rental, then weekly payouts

    Before launch

    Leases bill from the moment a renter books, and payouts are batched and sent once a week.

    What we need from you · A connected Stripe Express payout account, which you set up in your host console.

  6. Only steps 1 and 2 need you today. There are no dates attached to any of this, and we will not guess at one.

What founding hosts get

0% commission for your first 12 months

No platform fee is taken from any paid rental of a node you host. You keep the full hourly rate you set.

Capped at 10 hosts

The founding cohort closes at 10 hosts. Places go in the order hosts onboard, and we never oversell them.

Priority placement when we open

Founding listings are surfaced ahead of the general pool in the marketplace once renters arrive.

A founding badge on your listings

Your nodes carry a founding host badge, so renters can see you were here before the marketplace opened.

The guarantee

The moment we open the marketplace to renters, you have 60 days to land a paid rental. If you do not, your 0% commission becomes permanent.

The clock starts when the marketplace opens to renters, not when you join.

No payment is required to join, and there is no exclusivity clause: you can keep renting your hardware to anyone else, on any platform, at any price you like.

What we won't do

We won't promise you renters before launch, we won't quote earnings as guaranteed, and we won't claim demand we do not have. Every host and node counted above is a real record in our database, and while the marketplace is closed nobody is paying for compute here.

Steps 1 and 2 take about ten minutes.

Listing a node commits you to nothing: no fee, no exclusivity, and you can delist at any time.
