node onboarding

List your GPU in one command

Any NVIDIA machine can become a node. The installer verifies your hardware, sandboxes jobs in Docker, and brings you online in ~30 seconds. No exclusivity.

Start like a miner · no account

Paste the USDC wallet you want to be paid to. That's your identity and your payout address — no email, no password. Run the one command we hand back and your GPU is online. Withdrawing later needs a quick identity check, as regulation requires.

USDC on Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum or Optimism. Addresses are screened against the OFAC sanctions list.

— or use a full account to set a custom price —

Step 1 · sign in

Nodes connect with an API key — no password ever lives on the machine. Sign in or create a free account and your ready-to-paste installer appears right here.

Step 1 · set your price (optional)

Type your GPU to see a fair hourly price — built from the performance benchmark and live nodes. Or leave it blank: each node auto-prices from its own GPU's benchmark when it comes online, so you never have to guess a number.

$ /hr

Step 2 · run this on your GPU machine

One command installs the agent, benchmarks your GPU, and brings the node online — no key to paste, nothing interactive. If you didn't set a price, the node auto-prices from its benchmark. Treat this link like a password: each run enrols a worker under your account, and it expires in 30 days.

Linux · macOS — paste in a terminal

Windows · PowerShell (installs WSL2)

Run in an elevated PowerShell window.

Then watch it come online

systemctl status petabyte-agent
journalctl -u petabyte-agent -f

Your GPU appears in the marketplace and your dashboard within a minute.

Try it risk-free

The agent runs in an isolated Linux sandbox — it never touches your games or files, and only works when your PC is idle. Pause anytime, or remove it completely in one command. If Petabyte turned on WSL for you, uninstalling turns it back off.

$env:PETABYTE_ACTION="pause";     irm https://petabyte.market/manage.ps1 | iex
$env:PETABYTE_ACTION="uninstall"; irm https://petabyte.market/manage.ps1 | iex
