Contribute Verification
Capacity to the Network.
For GPU infrastructure operators, cloud infrastructure providers, research operators, and qualified technical node operators. This is an application process, not a one-click install.
Technical operators, not retail participants.
GPU Infrastructure Operators
Existing GPU capacity you want to allocate to verification/proving workloads.
Cloud Infrastructure Providers
Data-center or colocation operators evaluating a compute-partner integration.
Research Operators
Academic or research infrastructure with spare verified compute capacity.
Qualified Technical Node Operators
Individuals or teams able to run and maintain a production verification node.
What a compute partner actually runs.
A compute partner node listens for assigned verification/proving jobs, executes them (RISC Zero STARK proving on the LNES-03 Desktop Prover path, or equivalent for other job classes), and submits a proof-of-completion for settlement. Full technical detail — protocol, transport, and job-format specification — is documented on the Protocol and Node Operations pages.
What we require, and what we don't ask you to do.
Source-visible installation
Installer source and build instructions are published, not distributed as an unreviewable binary you're asked to trust on our word alone.
Checksums and signatures
Published release checksums and signatures are provided for every distributed build — verify before you run anything.
Your key, your control
You hold your own payout keypair. ExergyNet never asks for or holds your private key.
No blind execution
We will never ask you to download and run a script without explaining exactly what it does first.
Only what's verifiably defined.
Settlement mechanics, current settlement rails, and job pricing are documented on Node Operations and Protocol. The Base Mainnet contract is currently operating in mock-only mode and does not yet route real capital; Solana LNES-03 is deployed but under active investigation for transaction failures. Do not apply, or acquire hardware, on an expectation of real income today — see On-Chain Proof for current status. We do not publish or imply a guaranteed earnings figure once settlement is live — actual rewards will depend on network conditions, job availability, and your own hardware, and are not a return on investment claim.
