Put your sleeping hardware to work in minutes. Connect a wallet, install the lightweight agent on a device (drone, robot, sensor, router, printer, NAS, or edge GPU), and scan the QR code to pair it with a secure on-chain vault. Pick a network and a rewards strategy—simple staking, auto-restaking, or a diversified plan—and set safety rules like power caps, data limits, and schedules. Each device earns to its own vault, so you can pause, migrate, or liquidate without touching the rest of your setup.

If you’re an individual user, open the marketplace and choose workloads your device can handle: share bandwidth at night, run AI inference during idle hours, stream sensor data by the minute, or upload drone imagery per mission. Define windows (e.g., weekdays 8–11 pm), add constraints (temperature or battery thresholds), and set payout preferences. Rewards land in your vault and compound on your terms—auto-swap to a stablecoin, ladder into staking, or split across multiple strategies. The dashboard shows live throughput, earnings per task, and efficiency scores. Turn on alerts for thermal spikes, missed jobs, or abnormal drops in yield. Withdraw anytime, stream to a different wallet, or set milestone-based unlocks for long jobs.

Managing a fleet? Bulk-enroll devices via CSV, API, or discovery, then tag by location, model, or role. Apply policy templates—geofencing for drones, duty cycles for delivery bots, minimum uptime for sensors—and route them to curated task pools. Create revenue splits for operators and partners, and enforce budget ceilings at the project or region level. Use maintenance windows to drain a vault into reserves before service visits, and trigger job drain when battery health dips. Performance insights flag underutilized units and recommend higher-paying pools that match capabilities. Export audit trails for compliance, and issue temporary access keys for contractors without exposing funding wallets.

Developers can wire up integrations through REST, WebSocket, or SDKs. Publish metering plugins for new device types, define custom reward routers, or add oracle checks before tasks start. Webhooks let you sync earnings to ERP, trigger fleet scaling, or reallocate liquidity when APRs move. Test in sandbox with faucet funds, then promote to mainnet with staged approvals and multi-sig. Extend or write your own compounding strategies, and register them so operators can opt in. Governance hooks allow proposals for new workloads and fee changes. For safety, everything is non-custodial by default, with hardware wallet support, role-based approvals, rate limits, and optional coverage from the risk module.
