How it works

From idle GPU to earning, in five steps.

①

Install worker

pip install dcs-worker (NOT PUBLISHED — no such package on the registry, checked 30 Aug 2026) then dcs-worker login

②

Mint your SBT

One-time Base mainnet mint (gas covered by us). Soulbound to your wallet — non-transferable identity.

③

Set your floor

Minimum hourly rate you'll accept. Below this, you don't bid. Above, the auction picks the lowest bid.

④

Run jobs

Worker accepts winning bids automatically. Container runs in isolation. Output uploaded + signed.

⑤

Get paid

Settlement on Base mainnet within 60s of job completion. USDC to your wallet. Withdraw any time.

⑥

Trust grows

Clean history → Probation → Verified → Trusted tier. Higher tier = better job preference + lower commission.

Hardware

What GPUs we accept + indicative rates.

Rates fluctuate with demand. Floor prices below are typical lows — actual bids run higher.

🟢

H200 (141 GB)

$18-24/hr avg
For: fine-tuning, frontier inference, large-batch render. Highest demand.

🟢

H100 (80 GB)

$15-22/hr avg
For: same workloads as H200, slightly lower memory. Always busy.

🔵

A100 (80 GB)

$10-14/hr avg
For: medium-batch training, vision workloads, inference at scale.

🔵

L40S (48 GB)

$3-5/hr avg
For: video render, image generation, smaller inference workloads.

🟡

RTX 5090 / 4090

$1.20-2.40/hr avg
Consumer cards. Best for: SDXL generation, small inference, render farms.

🟡

RTX 3090 / older

$0.40-0.90/hr avg
Best-effort tier. Hobbyist + edge use cases. Lower job priority.

Earnings examples

Real numbers from real workers.

"Side rig"

1× RTX 4090, 16h/day idle, Verified tier.

~$580/mo
after 2.5% commission, before electricity.

"Dedicated worker"

1× H100, 24/7, Trusted tier.

~$11,000/mo
after commission. Roughly 1× H100 cost amortization in 2-3 months.

"GPU farm"

8× H200 cluster, 24/7, Trusted tier.

~$95,000/mo
at sustained 80% utilization. Operator runs as a business.

Numbers assume current demand. Past performance ≠ future. Electricity cost not included. Some markets (cheap power) materially better return profile.

FAQ

Common questions from workers.

Can I run this on a home PC?
Yes — if your GPU is one of the supported types and you have a stable connection. Be aware: electricity cost + heat + fan noise. Most home workers run a single 4090 in a separate room.
What about heat / electricity?
Worker exposes a daily kWh estimate based on your accepted bids. In markets with cheap power (~$0.10/kWh and below) the math works easily. Above $0.25/kWh you need higher-end GPU + higher-tier workloads.
Can I run a malicious job?
Containers run sandboxed. Outputs are signed + verified before payment. Malicious jobs get caught + worker reputation gets nuked. Reputation > short-term gain.
How are payouts secured?
Smart-contract escrow on Base Sepolia testnet (mainnet soon). For now: service-side hot wallet on Base mainnet with the 97.5/2.5 split. Receipts on every settlement so payment is provable.
What about KYC?
No KYC for individual workers up to $10K/month earnings. Above that, lightweight KYC for AML compliance (passport + selfie via Onfido). KYC'd workers get Trusted tier faster.
