For Providers
Turn your idle GPU into USDC income
Connect your NVIDIA GPU to ParalonCloud with a single Docker command and earn real USDC every minute it's rented. Keep 80%, withdraw anytime, stop whenever you want.
Estimate your earnings
Live network prices, your 80% share. Estimates assume your node is rented for the hours you pick — actual earnings depend on renter demand.
How it works
Earning in three steps
Add a node in the dashboard
Sign in, switch to the Provide compute tab and click Add Node. Name it and pick Linux or Windows (WSL2).
Run one Docker command
Paste the generated command on the machine with the GPU. It connects out through a secure tunnel — no port forwarding, no public IP.
Get verified, start earning
After a quick hardware check your node flips to rent-ready. From the first rented minute, USDC lands in your balance.
Why Paralon
Built to pay providers fairly
Real USDC, per minute
Earnings are credited every minute your node is rented, live in your dashboard. Withdraw to Phantom or Solflare with no fees, or convert to credits at 1:1.
Isolated and safe
Rentals run in isolated Docker containers reachable only through a secure tunnel. Renters never touch your files or OS.
You stay in control
Accept rentals when you want, set your own price (50%–300% of the default), pause or stop hosting anytime.
Season 0 testnet points
Points = VRAM × time, just for being online and verified. Multiple GPUs stack. Climb the public leaderboard.
Referrals up to 30%
Invite providers or renters and earn a share of the platform fee on their rentals for 12 months — both sides stack.
No KYC to start
Connect a GPU and earn without identity verification. Consumer RTX cards through data-center H100/H200 all welcome.

Frequently asked questions
How much can I earn by renting out my GPU?
Earnings depend on your GPU model, the price you set, and how many hours per day your node is actually rented. You keep 80% of every rental, billed per minute. Use the calculator on this page with live network prices to estimate your monthly income, and remember: estimates assume renter demand — real utilization varies.
What hardware do I need to become a provider?
An NVIDIA GPU (RTX 3090/4090/5090 through A100/H100/H200), up-to-date NVIDIA drivers, Docker, and the NVIDIA Container Toolkit. Both Linux and Windows (via WSL2) are supported.
Do I need port forwarding or a public IP?
No. The ParalonCloud agent connects out through a secure tunnel, so it works behind any home router or firewall — no port forwarding, no public IP, no network configuration.
How and when do I get paid?
You earn real USDC credited to your balance every minute your node is rented. Withdraw to a Solana wallet (Phantom or Solflare) with no withdrawal fees, or convert earnings to platform credits at 1 USDC = 1 credit.
What fees does ParalonCloud take?
The split is 80/20: you keep 80% of the rental price, the platform takes 20%. There are no listing fees, no withdrawal fees, and no KYC requirement to start earning.
Can I set my own rental price?
Yes. Each node gets a dynamic default price for its GPU model, and you can override it anywhere from 50% to 300% of that default — your hardware, your price.
Is it safe to share my GPU?
Every rental runs in an isolated Docker container on your machine, reachable only through a secure tunnel. Renters never get access to your files or operating system outside the container, and you can stop accepting rentals at any time.
What are testnet points?
During the incentivized testnet (Season 0), you earn points just for keeping your node online and verified — no rental required. Points = VRAM × time (1 GB of VRAM = 1 point per minute, multiple GPUs stack) and rank you on the public leaderboard.
Your GPU is idle right now
Ten minutes of setup, one Docker command, and it starts working for you.
