Three Ways to Earn: Passive, Direct, or Pooled

Passive Mining

Requires zero management. Allocate resources once, Nodex assigns background tasks automatically, you earn based on hardware tier and uptime.

Your computer works for you while you game, sleep, or work. No active involvement beyond initial setup - perfect for users who want set-and-forget income from idle capacity.

Direct Rentals

Connect you with specific renters bidding on your hardware. You accept contracts, they get dedicated access, you earn premium rates.

Higher income potential but you’re responsible for maintaining uptime commitments. Ideal for users who want active management and reputation building through consistent service delivery.

Distributed Rentals

Let Nodex pool your resources with other providers automatically. Renter needs 16 cores but you only have 8? The system splits workloads across multiple providers seamlessly.

You participate in larger contracts even with modest specs, earning proportional shares without manual coordination.

Hardware Tiers

Hardware determines your tier and earning multiplier:

Even smartphones qualify through bandwidth sharing and lightweight CPU tasks optimized for mobile efficiency.
