Operators earn from real network usage. There’s no fixed salary — you’re paid for the work your node actually does.

How you earn

  • 80% of every request you serve. When your node completes a paid job, the operator share (80% of that job’s revenue) accrues to you.
  • Plus staking rewards. Your bonded SGLalsoearnsthestakershareofnetworkrevenue(USDC+SGL also earns the staker share of network revenue (USDC + SGL), like any staker.
See the full split on the Pricing page.

Tracking & withdrawing

  • Your accrued earnings are visible in the dashboard’s operator view.
  • Withdraw on demand — earnings are paid out to your operator wallet when you withdraw.
  • Staking rewards are claimed separately via the staking app.

What affects your earnings

  • Uptime — more time online and serving = more jobs routed to you.
  • Models served — serving in-demand models (and models with little competition) means more matched jobs.
  • Performance — responsive, reliable nodes build reputation and get matched more.
  • Redundancy — even with competition, more capacity on a popular model means more total throughput.

Honest operation pays

  • Offline/maintenance time isn’t penalized — it just means no new jobs while you’re down (use off-grid mode for clean maintenance).
  • Only proven tampering is slashable (see Staking to operate). Serve honestly and your stake + earnings are safe.
