GRID

Run a node. Do real work. Earn GRID. The planetary supercomputer is not a building — it is the mesh we build together.

Mission

Compute
without
walls.

The world's largest supercomputer will not be built in one place. It will emerge from millions of connected machines — garages, racks, datacenters, and edge devices — working as one fabric.

GRID measures real contribution. Not puzzles that burn power to prove you burned power — verified useful work: AI jobs, frames, simulation, and the latency-critical worlds still coming.

01

Measure

Proof-of-Resource scores real capacity.

02

Coordinate

Work routes to machines that can finish it.

03

Reward

Verified output earns GRID. Exit on your terms.

The Network

One fabric.
Infinite edges.

GRID abstracts millions of machines into a unified computational environment. You keep control of power, heat, and schedule. The network only takes what you allow.

01

Resource Layer

Heterogeneous hardware — consumer GPUs, workstations, racks, and surplus enterprise capacity — joins as autonomous nodes.

02

Coordination

Jobs shard across the mesh. Proximity, capability, and availability decide where work lands.

03

Verification

Results are checked. Fidelity, uptime, and completed work feed reputation — and rewards.

04

Settlement

GRID meters compute. Bitcoin is the Transact Security Layer for hard settlement when you cash out.

The living mesh

Ping the
planet.

When a machine joins, the world answers with light — a presence. A quiet pulse that says “Hey! — I'm a node.”

Who is here

The sky is quiet. Genesis holds the first light — waiting for the next spark to answer.

Run a node. Become a pulse.

For Miners

Keep mining.
Mine useful.

You already did the hard part — the iron, the power, the discipline. GRID re-aims that craft at verified compute. Same rooms. Same culture. A market that buys capacity.

  • One card in a small form factor — you belong here.
  • A rack that used to hum for ETH — you belong here.
  • A datacenter with surplus capacity — you belong too.
LETTER

“You are not idle capacity. You are not a footnote in someone else's cloud. You are how a planetary computer stays human-scale, geographically real, and hard to capture.”

How you join

01

Install

Get the GRID binary. One lightweight client. Your machine, your limits.

02

Run a node

Set power and thermal bounds. Contribute what you choose — nothing more.

03

Earn GRID

Verified work pays. Sell it, stack it, or settle value through Bitcoin.

Edge wallets

Keys at the edge.
Exit on Bitcoin.

CLI first. Then software, mobile, web, and services — same identity story, non-custodial by default, Bitcoin as the Transact Security Layer for hard settlement.

Software

P2

Desktop wallet for miners — run nodes, see earn, export keys, GRID → BTC.

Mobile

P3–P4

Watch balances and alerts on the go. Later: sign and cash out to Bitcoin.

Web

P2–P3

Buyer portal for jobs and invoices. Connect a wallet — no seed in the browser.

Services

P3+

Fleet APIs, payroll to BTC, SSO, audit. Optional custody for teams who need it.

Security by Design

You choose
the lock.

GRID does not decide how your secrets sleep. Passkey by default — or password, twenty-four words, stacked combo, full master factors, or raw keys. Same mesh. Your rules.

Passkey

Default path

Encrypted by Passkey

grid auth lives under device credentials. Or step into master mode when you need a key this machine is not allowed to keep.

grid auth <mode>

Master destruction

The master is born once and dies on the node.GRID never keeps a recoverable master key under its home directory. In master mode you set a password, register a device passkey, write down a twenty-four word phrase, and receive a randomized master key. After you type DESTROY, the master is wiped from this machine. Unlock forever requires every factor — password, passkey, phrase, and master key file. Knowing one is knowing nothing.

grid auth master

Passkey
Default

Passkey

grid auth (default)

Device-bound. Face ID, Touch ID, or a hardware key. Phishing-resistant — your vault unlocks with you.

Familiar

Password

grid auth password

You choose the secret. Portable encryption without a platform passkey.

Recovery

24-word keyphrase

grid auth keyphrase

A full BIP39 twenty-four word phrase, shown once. Write it offline. The node will not repeat it.

Stacked

Combo

grid auth combo

Password → passkey → keyphrase. Layered unlock for operators who want stacked ceremony.

Maximum

Master

grid auth master

Password + passkey + 24 words + randomized master key. All four required. One factor alone unlocks nothing.

  1. Password
  2. Passkey
  3. 24 words
  4. Master key
  5. DESTROY on node
Raw keys

No crypt

grid auth nocrypt

Just the keys on disk (mode 0600). No envelope. Labs and throwaway nodes only.

Your choice

Set once per node. Change when your threat model changes.

Local only

Unlock happens on your machine. The mesh never sees the envelope.

Master dies here

In master mode the node keeps no recoverable master — only encrypted shares.
