About this network role
The node operator maintains the node that serves suitable AI work. The specification combines GPU benchmarking, bonded identity, stake and reputation with signed receipts and lane-aware job routing. This page describes that network role, not an employment opening.
The intended flow
Register the node key and detected GPU capabilities
Inspect node state, lane and attestation status
Sign a COSE receipt when each AI job completes
Follow verified work into hourly receipt epochs
Design considerations
Open-lane work must be non-sensitive
Sealed-lane nodes require eligible confidential GPUs (in testing)
Attestation and canaries support verification
Earnings depend on completed buyer-funded work
Shared network primitives
Signed job receipts and USDG metering
A shared ledger across payout routes
Hourly cumulative Merkle roots
A defined path from verified work to claim
