Tenzro
Operators

Put your hardware to work.

Anyone can operate on Tenzro. From one GPU at home to a data centre, machines join the same permissionless network, take on the roles their hardware suits, and earn TNZO for the work they serve.

Roles

Ways to provide resources.

One machine can take on several roles against a single stake. Pick the ones your hardware and your connection suit.

  • Validator

    Order and finalise the ledger. Any TPM 2.0 machine can run one; the signing key is rooted in the hardware.

  • RPC provider

    Give applications, agents and wallets access to the network, and earn for the traffic you serve.

    Guide Apply

  • AI provider

    Serve open models for inference behind OpenAI-compatible APIs, billed per use and settled on chain.

  • Compute provider

    Rent out GPU and CPU capacity by the epoch, with SLA attestation and billing on the chain's verdict.

How it works

From install to first payment.

  1. 01

    Install

    Download the node and run it. It detects your accelerators and sizes itself to the hardware.

  2. 02

    Create your identity

    Your operator identity is rooted in the machine's TPM or Secure Enclave, or in your passkey. No key files to guard.

  3. 03

    Stake and choose roles

    One stake covers every role the machine takes on. Publish a signed policy for what you serve and at what price.

  4. 04

    Serve and get paid

    Work is metered, attested and settled on chain. Earnings arrive in TNZO, per use.

Accountability

Slashed only for what you promised.

Operators publish signed policies. Slashing applies only to provable breaches of your own policy, and SLAs are attested on chain, so rentals are billed on the chain's verdict rather than anyone's word.
Help getting started

Onboarding for every background.

The Foundation publishes the node, the guides and the tooling. Partners such as Tenzro Labs help operators of every size and experience level get their hardware on the network.
