Overview

Providers contribute GPU resources to the OpenGPU Network and earn $OGPU for completed tasks.

What You Can Do

• Monetize idle GPU capacity

• Earn passive income from AI inference tasks

• Join and leave the network freely

• Scale from a single GPU to a data center

How It Works

1. Install Provider App — Set up the desktop application

2. Register for Sources — Choose which execution environments to support

3. Execute Tasks — Your GPU runs tasks automatically

4. Get Paid — Earn $OGPU for each completed task

Requirements

Hardware

Spec	Minimum	Recommended
GPU VRAM	Any	24GB+
CPU	64-bit with virtualization	8+ cores
RAM	4GB	32GB+
Storage	20GB	256GB+ NVMe
Network	Stable connection	1 Gbps

Minimum = Docker requirements to run the Provider App. Recommended = handle moderate workloads (e.g. 20B parameter models).

Actual task requirements vary by source. Register for sources that match your hardware — OpenGPU supports all GPU types and configurations.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
Provider Suite	Desktop app to manage your provider
Management dApp	Monitor earnings, performance, registrations

Economics

• Task payments — Earn $OGPU per completed task

• Staking rewards — Additional earnings for staked providers

• Reputation — Higher reputation increases visibility and earning potential

AI Agents

Providers can run AI agents that automatically bid on tasks and optimize earnings. Current agent types include greedy and periodic strategies. See AI Agents for details.
