Provider Revenue & Net-Profit Calculator

Real-World Hardware Economics

Line-by-line estimate for hosting models on an NVIDIA RTX 5090 32GB reference node. Providers receive 99% of token revenue (1% protocol fee) plus a standby retainer of $0.40/day per node with ≥50% uptime that day. Throughput and power figures are adjustable assumptions, not guarantees.

99% revenue share
Estimates, not guarantees

Earnings depend on real network demand. The network is at an early stage, so actual traffic per node may be far below the baseline assumption (200M input / 20M output tokens per day at 30% load). Payouts: USDC on Base, monthly, minimum $1.00.

Platform Comparison: Vast.ai vs SeedInfer Freedom

Why P2P Inference Beats Traditional Rental Platforms

Full GPU Ownership & Flexibility

Traditional platforms like Vast.ai lock down your host system, demand 24/7 continuous availability, and grant tenant root/kernel access. SeedInfer runs as an isolated user-space container—giving you complete freedom to pause or use your GPU anytime without penalty.

How providers are paid

Each node earns 99% of the token revenue it serves (SeedInfer keeps a 1% protocol fee), plus a daily standby retainer. Balances are settled monthly:

1. Standby retainer
$0.40 / day per node
Paid for each calendar day (UTC) in which the node had ≥50% uptime. Days below the threshold earn no retainer.
2. Revenue share
99% of token revenue
Tokens your node serves × the model price × 0.99. Protocol fee: 1%.
3. USDC payouts (Base)
Monthly Settlements
Paid in USDC on Base only. Minimum $1.00 — smaller balances carry over to the next month.

Payout method

Payouts in USDC on Base go to the wallet registered in the Provider portal (sign-in required). Paid once per month.
