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.

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

From idle GPU to earning in three steps

  1. 01Add a node in the dashboardSign in, open My nodes and click Add a node. Name it and pick Linux or Windows (WSL2).
  2. 02Run one Docker commandPaste the generated command on the machine with the GPU. It connects out through a secure tunnel — no port forwarding, no public IP.
  3. 03Get verified, start earningAfter a quick hardware check your node flips to rent-ready. From the first rented minute, USDC lands in your balance.

Run on the machine

docker run -d --gpus all \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -v paralon-cache:/opt/paralon \
  -v /etc/machine-id:/host-machine-id:ro \
  -e TOKEN="your_token" \

✓ Node registered and online

✓ GPU detected: RTX 4090

Why host here

Your hardware, your terms

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. Use the machine yourself too? Make it a spot node and take it back in 2 minutes.

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.

Requirements

What you need to start

  • Docker + NVIDIA Container Toolkit
  • Linux or Windows (WSL2)
  • No port forwarding or public IP needed

FAQ

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 rent out a GPU I also use myself, like a gaming PC or an office workstation?

Yes: make it a spot node. It rents at a discount, and one button (Pause / Resume) gives it back to you at any time. A running rental gets 2 minutes' notice, inference running on it finishes within 2 minutes, and spot rentals never count against your reputation. Gaming cafes, studios, offices and data centers with their own GPU infrastructure can pause or release a whole group of machines at once, and a multi-GPU server can offer only some of its cards. See the Spot Nodes guide in the docs.

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.
