GRID Genesis Pilot

Mine GRID. Verify the chain. Support the network.

The fastest path is grid mine: it is a P2P block replica plus a proof-of-resource miner. It does not host web services or game servers.

1 · Install and identify

curl -fsSL https://grid-compute.com/downloads/install.sh | bash
grid init --name my-node --class S
grid auth keyphrase

Keep the recovery phrase offline. Your node identity and encrypted P2P key stay on your device.

2 · Mine + verify

grid mine

Connects to Genesis, synchronizes and verifies signed blocks, then polls for capped proof-of-resource work. It never starts a host container.

3 · Optional devnet reward wallet

grid solana create
grid solana status

This creates a local Solana devnet reward wallet. Pilot rewards require verified work; uptime alone does not mint GRID.

Support without mining

grid peer --with-bench

Run an encrypted P2P replica that syncs and verifies the chain, with no proof-of-resource work and no reward expectation.

Help the mesh

For inbound peers, forward TCP 9900 to your machine. Outbound-only mining still works, but an open port makes the mesh more resilient. The public globe is optional and publishes only coarse location—not your IP, port, wallet, or coordinator URL.

What comes next

P2P container hosting, in stages.

  1. 01 · Runtime
    Engine installs containerd, nerdctl, and the encrypted-volume backend.
  2. 02 · Protected storage
    Each service gets a unique vault-wrapped volume key; containers never receive vault access.
  3. 03 · Approved services
    First template: Git-backed Caddy, exposed through a GRID tunnel rather than a direct host port.

This is still a Genesis-led pilot—not decentralized mainnet consensus. Inspect the network →
