Solutions — Node runners and operators

Run the network. Earn for the work you do.

Tenzro is the distributed infrastructure the whole network runs on — and anyone can help run it. Turn a spare machine, a home server, or a rack of hardware into a paid node: serve AI models, rent out spare computing power, hold data, or help secure the network. Work is routed by price, speed, and track record, and you earn in TNZO for what you actually do.

Overview

One node, many ways to earn.

You don't need a data center to start. A single machine can join the network and pick up paid work — and if you do have real hardware, racks of it, or GPUs, you can put all of it to work on an open market instead of reselling to one big cloud. There's no sign-up and no gatekeeper: install the node, choose what you want to offer, and the network routes work to you based on your price, your speed, and your track record.

What you can run

Pick the roles that fit your hardware.

Serve AI models

Run AI models for people and agents and get paid per request. From small models on a single GPU to large ones across several machines.

Rent out spare compute

Put idle CPU and GPU time to work. The network sends jobs your way and pays you for the capacity you provide.

Hold data

Offer disk space to store data for the network and earn for keeping it available. Anyone can check the data is really there.

Secure the network

Stake TNZO and help produce and confirm blocks as a validator. Earn a share of the fees and rewards for keeping the network honest.

Offer secure hardware

If your machine has secure-hardware support (Intel, AMD, AWS, or NVIDIA), run sensitive work in private and earn a premium for it.

Run a light node

Low on resources? Run a light node that checks the network and serves your own apps without producing blocks. Minimal hardware, still useful.

How it works

From bare machine to paid node.

01
Install and start
Download the node and start it with one command. It works on a cloud VM, a home computer over WiFi, a small server, or a Raspberry Pi.
02
Get online behind any network
The node finds its way onto the network even if you're behind a home or office router with no public address. No special networking setup needed.
03
Choose what you offer
Serve models, rent compute, hold data, secure the network, or several at once — whatever your hardware can handle. Set your own prices.
04
Get matched to work
The network routes jobs to you by price, speed, and reputation. Do good work and your reputation rises, sending more work your way.
05
Earn in TNZO
You're paid in TNZO for the work you do, with a receipt for every job. Payments settle on the network and can move to other chains.
06
Start without holding TNZO
Qualifying operators can be sponsored to meet the stake up front, then earn their way to owning it — so you can start on hardware alone.

Good to know

What it takes to run.

Hardware: Cloud VM, home server, desktop, or single-board computer — CPU-only up to multi-GPU racks
Networking: Works behind home, office, and mobile networks — no public IP or port forwarding required
Roles: Validator, AI model provider, compute provider, storage provider, secure-hardware provider, light node
Cost to join: $0 — no sign-up, no gatekeeper. Some roles ask for a TNZO stake; sponsorship can cover it
Paid in: TNZO, with a receipt for every job, settled on the network
Open source: The node software is open — inspect it, build it, and run it yourself
