⚡ Welcome, GPU Providers!

We’re so glad you’re here. Whether you’re a seasoned miner, a gamer with spare hardware, or just curious about earning with your GPU, you belong in the Ciro community.


🌱 Our Story: Built for Real-World Needs

Ciro Network was born on the factory floor—not in a hackathon or a hype cycle. We saw firsthand how unpredictable cloud costs and limited access to high-end GPUs could hold back innovation. So we built Ciro: a decentralized compute network where anyone can contribute compute power and earn, no matter where they are.


🤔 What Does It Mean to Be a Provider?

As a GPU provider, you:

  • Earn $CIRO tokens by running real AI jobs for global users
  • Choose your chain: Stake and settle on Starknet, Ethereum, Polygon, and more
  • Help power the future of open, verifiable AI
  • Join a global movement for accessible, community-owned compute

No prior blockchain or AI experience required—just a compatible GPU and a willingness to learn!


🌐 Multichain Earning & Staking

Ciro is built for the multichain future. You can:

  • Stake on your preferred chain (Starknet, Ethereum, Polygon)
  • Earn rewards and bonuses based on your performance and chain
  • Bridge your earnings to the ecosystem that fits your needs

🚀 Step-by-Step: Start Earning with Your GPU

🖥️ 1. Check Your Hardware

  • Minimum: NVIDIA RTX 3080 / AMD RX 6800 XT, 10GB+ VRAM, 16GB RAM, 100GB SSD, 100 Mbps internet
  • Recommended: H100/A100/4090, multiple GPUs, 1Gbps+ internet

📦 2. Install Ciro Worker

curl -fsSL https://install.ciro.network | sh

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/ciro-network/ciro-worker
cd ciro-worker
cargo build --release

⚙️ 3. Configure Your Worker

Create config/worker.toml:

[network]
starknet_rpc = "https://starknet-mainnet.public.blastapi.io"
coordinator_endpoint = "ws://coordinator.testnet.ciro.network"

[hardware]
gpu_ids = [0, 1]
max_jobs_concurrent = 4
enable_zkml = true

[economic]
min_stake = 1000
commission_rate = 0.05
auto_restake = true

Test your hardware:

ciro-worker check-hardware

🪙 4. Get CIRO Tokens & Stake

# Starknet (default, highest rewards)
ciro-worker stake --amount 1000 --duration 90d --chain starknet
# Ethereum (institutional)
ciro-worker stake --amount 10000 --duration 90d --chain ethereum
# Polygon (low minimum)
ciro-worker stake --amount 500 --duration 90d --chain polygon

Check your multi-chain stake:

ciro-worker status --all-chains

🚦 5. Start Earning

Start your worker:

ciro-worker start --daemon

Monitor your earnings:

ciro-worker dashboard
ciro-worker earnings --last-week
