What brings you to the Grid?

Three different things ship under the same name. Each one has its own onboarding — tell us which one you are and we’ll get out of your way.

For developers≈ 4 minutes to first receipt

I'm building on it

Deploy a service that runs across the whole network. You write code; the Grid places it.

01Install the CLI

03Wrap your service into a package

04Sign & publish

05Watch the first receipt land

You'll leave with: a deployed package, a .grid name pointing at it, and your first signed work-receipt.start →

For operators≈ 12 minutes to first earnings

I'm running hardware on it

Light up a node — POC Mini, a rack box, or a GPU workstation. The matchmaker will start sending you work.

01Pick your hardware

02Bind your DID to the node

03Self-test (latency, IOPS, GPU)

04Stake a small bond

05Wait for first slot assignment

You'll leave with: a registered node, an active slot lease in your nearest metro, and live job queue.start →

For everyone≈ 90 seconds

I just want to use it

01Pick a .grid name

02Generate a DID locally

03Install the Grid Browser

04Connect endpoints + write a prompt

05See your first generated frontend

You'll leave with: yourname.grid, a DID held in your device, and a browser that renders any backend.start →
