# Provide Compute — Overview

> Run a node on the Singularity network, serve confidential workloads, and earn from real usage.

Anyone with capable hardware can become an **operator**: run a node, serve confidential workloads, and earn a share of every request you handle.

## Why operate

* **Earn from real usage** — operators receive **80%** of the revenue from jobs they serve (see [Earnings](/cloud/provide/earnings)).
* **Plus staking rewards** — your bonded \$SGL also earns the staker share.
* **Be part of a private cloud** — your node runs inside a TEE; you serve workloads without ever seeing user data.

## What it takes

<Steps>
  <Step title="Hardware with a TEE">A machine with a supported Trusted Execution Environment.</Step>
  <Step title="Stake $SGL">Bond the minimum stake to join the grid — skin in the game. See [Staking](/cloud/provide/staking).</Step>
  <Step title="Run the node">Install and run the node software; it attests, registers, and starts receiving work. See [Node setup](/cloud/provide/node-setup).</Step>
  <Step title="Earn">Serve requests and accrue earnings; withdraw anytime. See [Earnings](/cloud/provide/earnings).</Step>
</Steps>
