How Providers Earn

Earning Flow

Providers earn by executing workloads (deployments and jobs). Payment flows automatically:

  1. Bid on orders matching your capacity
  2. If bid accepted, execute workload in Docker container
  3. Every minute, get paid for resources consumed
  4. Earnings accumulate in your provider account
  5. Withdraw anytime to your wallet

Typical Earnings

Example with $1/block pricing:

Per minute: $1 × 60 blocks = $60
Per hour:   $60 × 60 minutes = $3,600
Per day:    $3,600 × 24 hours = $86,400

Actual rates vary by market demand. Current typical range: $0.01-$1 per block.
