Network

Workers and earning

Contribute a GPU to the swarm and earn per job. Native workers wrap a local model for maximum throughput; browser workers run in a tab with zero install.

Worker classes

Native

Wraps a local Ollama install (default a capable ~27B model), advertised to the network as nuro-max-27b. Highest throughput, highest per-job rate.

Browser

Runs a WebGPU model via WebLLM (for example a 7B advertised as nuro-browser-8b). Zero install, lower rate, instant onboarding.

Swarm block (soon)

Loads a single layer block and participates in a sharded pipeline. Activates when the swarm engine ships.

Run a native worker

Install Ollama, pull a model, then start the worker. It opens a WebSocket to the orchestrator and begins accepting jobs.

# 1. install a model runtime and pull a model
ollama pull qwen2.5:27b

# 2. start the Nuro worker (connects to the orchestrator)
npx @nuroaixyz/worker \
  --mode native \
  --model qwen2.5:27b \
  --token $NURO_WORKER_TOKEN

Worker tokens

A worker authenticates with a worker token issued from your account. The token also carries the worker class the orchestrator dispatches against.

Run a browser worker

Open the earn page on a WebGPU-capable browser. The model loads into the tab and the machine becomes a worker for as long as the tab is open - nothing to install, nothing left behind when you close it.

# just open it in a WebGPU browser

How you get paid

Earnings are in USDG. A connected worker accrues a small amount while online, and every completed job credits at least a floor amount plus a share of that job's token price. Withdrawals queue to your Robinhood Chain wallet and settle once the paymaster vault is funded.

Online

Small USDG stipend while your worker is connected to the orchestrator, capped per day.

Jobs

At least 0.01 USDG per completed job, plus the token-based share for larger work.

Receipt-gated payouts

Paid for real, correct work

Worker payouts release only against a valid correctness and privacy receipt - the same receipt discipline that proves the network ran a job right and kept it private. Doing the work correctly is what earns the payout; there is no reward for a job that cannot produce a valid receipt. See Staking and treasury for where the money comes from.
