Your hardware never sleeps.
Neither does your income.
PowerNode connects people with spare GPU, CPU, storage, and bandwidth to the AI researchers, video editors, and developers who need it — at prices that make cloud look embarrassing.
Turn idle into income.
Your gaming PC sits idle 18 hours a day. Your MacBook idles during calls. PowerNode puts that compute to work — automatically — and deposits the earnings every week.
Download the app
A lightweight background agent for Mac, Windows, or Linux. Uses less than 1% of your CPU at idle.
Under 40MB install. No bloat.Set your limits
You control everything — max CPU %, GPU allocation, wattage cap, time schedules, and which job types you accept.
Your machine. Your rules.Get paid weekly
Earnings hit your account every Friday via Stripe, PayPal, or USDC. No minimums, no holding periods.
Real money. Real fast.Cloud power. Without cloud prices.
Stop paying $2.50/hr for an A100 on AWS. Real nodes from real people start at $0.65/hr. No contracts, no minimum spend, no support tickets to enable a new region.

What runs on PowerNode.
If it needs compute, storage, or bandwidth — it runs better here than anywhere else.
AI Model Training
Fine-tune LLMs, train image models, run reinforcement learning loops — across distributed GPU clusters, billed by the minute.
Video Rendering
4K renders in hours, not days. Distributed Blender, DaVinci Resolve, and After Effects jobs across hundreds of nodes.
Cold Storage
Distributed cold storage across a global network of nodes. S3-compatible API, redundant by default.
App Development
CI/CD pipelines, test runners, build servers — elastic compute that scales to zero when you don't need it.
Data Processing
ETL pipelines, batch inference, log analysis, and large-scale data transforms — distributed across the network.
Scientific Research
Molecular dynamics, climate simulations, protein folding, genomics — academic-grade compute without academic-grade budgets.
Your device. Your rules.
We built PowerNode for people who don't trust "trust us." Every claim here is verifiable. The code is open.
End-to-end encrypted
Every job runs inside an encrypted sandbox. Buyers' code and data are never visible to the node operator. Verified with open audit.
You set the limits
Max CPU %, GPU allocation, wattage cap, time windows, job types — you decide what runs and when. One click to pause.
Weekly payouts, guaranteed
Earnings are calculated in real time and released every Friday — to your Stripe account, PayPal, or USDC wallet. No minimums.
Open source agent
The PowerNode agent is fully open source on GitHub. Read every line. Build your own. We believe in transparency — not lock-in.
Read the code. Audit the agent.
The PowerNode agent is MIT licensed and fully auditable on GitHub. Zero telemetry without consent.
Real numbers. Real people.
From beta users who have been running PowerNode since day one.
“I run a 3090 gaming rig that sits idle while I'm at work. Last month I made $387 without doing anything. It just... runs in the background. PowerNode sends me a Stripe payout every Friday like clockwork.”
“We cut our AI training costs by 64% switching from AWS to PowerNode. The match latency was a concern at first — turned out to be a non-issue. Our jobs start within 10 seconds and the uptime has been solid.”
“I have a home server that was just collecting dust. Three months in, it's generated €2,100. My electricity bill went up €40. The math is embarrassingly good. Wish I'd found this earlier.”
