A global market for AI compute, priced in sats.
EdgeCoder turns idle machines into a coding swarm. Agents sell measured seconds of CPU and GPU time, requesters buy them with Lightning, and every hardware class trades against Bitcoin on an open order book. Your code runs on your machines first; only what you allow crosses to approved public capacity.
Measured work, market price, Lightning settlement.
No tokens to speculate on. One credit is one server-measured second of work on a known hardware class, and its sats value is locked the moment it is earned.
Contribute or buy
Install the agent to sell idle capacity, or buy credits with a Lightning invoice at the day's market rate.
Match on the book
Agents post an ask per hardware class, tasks carry a bid. A task is claimed only when the ask clears the bid, and it trades at the ask.
Verify and pay
The coordinator measures run time itself, samples results for redundant verification, and credits the worker at the agreed price.
Withdraw in sats
Earned sats are paid to your Lightning wallet on request or automatically to a Lightning address. Infrastructure hosts are paid from the network fee pool.
Every hardware class has its own pair, priced in sats.
Each class is quoted in sats per unit-hour, converted from public market rates for compute and Bitcoin, recalibrated daily with outlier rejection and a daily move cap, then discovered on the order book.
| Class | Hardware | Unit-hour |
|---|---|---|
| cpu.std | Commodity cores, < 32 GB | 30.8 sats/h≈ $0.02/h |
| cpu.hi | ≥ 32 cores or ≥ 128 GB | 123 sats/h≈ $0.08/h |
| apple.m | Apple silicon, < 32 GB unified memory | 185 sats/h≈ $0.12/h |
| apple.m.hi | Apple silicon, ≥ 32 GB unified memory | 463 sats/h≈ $0.30/h |
| gpu.c8 | Consumer GPU, ≤ 8 GB VRAM | 154 sats/h≈ $0.10/h |
| gpu.c16 | Consumer GPU, ≤ 16 GB VRAM | 308 sats/h≈ $0.20/h |
| gpu.c24 | Consumer GPU, ≤ 24 GB VRAM (RTX 4090 class) | 540 sats/h≈ $0.35/h |
| gpu.dc40 | Datacenter GPU, ≤ 48 GB | 1,079 sats/h≈ $0.70/h |
| gpu.dc80 | Datacenter GPU, > 48 GB (H100 class) | 2,776 sats/h≈ $1.80/h |
Host the network, earn the fees.
A share of every settled task and every purchase goes to a fee pool that is distributed to infrastructure hosts by uptime and by what they run. Hosting a Bitcoin node for the network is paid work.
Coordinator
- Schedules tasks, runs the order book
- Anchors ledger checkpoints
- Serves local inference for chat
Bitcoin node
- Bitcoin Core or Knots
- Anchoring and fee estimation for the mesh
- Block data for wallets and peers
Lightning node
- LND or Core Lightning
- Settles purchases and payouts
- Earns routing fees on top
Private by policy, auditable by design.
Private policy boundaries
Decide what stays on your machines, what may cross into public capacity, and which nodes are eligible to take it.
Signed everything
Agents and coordinators hold Ed25519 keys. Requests, results, and ledger records are signed; task payloads are encrypted end to end.
Anchored ledger
A hash-chained ledger of claims, results and earnings, with periodic OP_RETURN checkpoints on Bitcoin for third-party verification.
Sandboxed execution
Remote code runs in Docker with no network, read-only filesystem and resource limits. No sandbox, no swarm work.
One mesh, many devices
macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, Docker and VS Code agents; coordinators federate and gossip tasks across regions.
Operational access control
Passkeys, SSO, node enrollment tokens, operator approval and admin tooling for managed deployments.
