Payouts
Cash out your provider earnings as USDC to a Solana wallet, or convert them into platform credits — step by step.
Once your node has earned USDC from rentals, you have two ways to use it: withdraw it to your own wallet, or convert it into platform credits you can spend on the network. Both are on the Payouts page.
Linking a wallet and requesting withdrawals are desktop-only — your phone can't connect a wallet for signing.
1. Link your Solana wallet
Withdrawals are paid in USDC on Solana, so first connect the wallet you want to be paid to:
- Open Payouts on desktop.
- Connect a Solana wallet — Phantom or Solflare.
- Sign a message to prove you own the wallet. This is a signature only — it moves no funds and grants no spending access.
Once linked, your payout address is set. You can unlink or change it later from the same page.
2. Request a withdrawal
With a wallet linked and earnings available:
- On Payouts, check Available to withdraw.
- Enter an amount at or above the minimum shown, and click Request withdrawal.
- Sign the request with your wallet.
A few rules to know:
- Withdrawal window: requests open only on the 1st–5th of each month. Outside that window the button is closed until the next cycle.
- Cooldown: there's a 24-hour cooldown between withdrawal requests.
- No fees — you receive the full amount.
- Timing: payouts are sent manually to your linked wallet, typically within 24–48 hours.
Your past requests appear under History on the same page.
Convert earnings to credits instead
Don't want to cash out? Convert earnings into spendable platform credits to rent GPUs or run inference yourself:
- The rate is 1 USDC = 1 credit.
- Conversion is instant — your earnings drop and your credit balance goes up right away.
- It's one-way: once converted to credits, that balance can't be withdrawn as USDC again.
Withdraw or convert?
- Withdraw if you want the money out as real USDC — choose this to take profit off the platform.
- Convert if you plan to spend on ParalonCloud anyway — it skips the monthly window and cooldown, landing usable credits instantly. Just remember it can't be reversed.
Earnings come from rentals — see Rewards & Earnings for how you earn in the first place.
