Rutli is not moving into your PC.
You are not joining a mining farm. You are not donating your machine. You are not giving Rutli first dibs on the GPU.
You decide whether contribution is on at all, what hours it can run, how much GPU capacity can be used, memory and resource limits, power limits, which workload classes you accept, and when network jobs must stop.
Your computer remains your computer. That should feel obvious. We intend to keep it that way.
Your machine serves you first.
-
Local AI with the network switched off.
This is one of the differences that matters most. A Rutli-capable machine should still be useful if you never share a second of compute. Run private chat, local models, research, document search, image generation, voice, agents, home intelligence, business tools.
The node exists for you first. The network is the second layer.
Useful even if you never share a second of compute.

Then let the idle hours stop being boring.
High-end GPUs can spend large parts of the week waiting for their owners. Rutli is designed to make that waiting time optional network capacity.
Use it when you want it. Share it when you do not. Keep the value it creates.
No guaranteed payment. No fake "your 5090 will make $X every month" promise. Demand will be demand. Power costs will be real. But spare compute should at least have the option to become productive.
Spare capacity, on your terms.
For GPU owners
Your GPU should work for you.
Use it for gaming. Use it for creation. Use it for your own AI. And when you are not using all of it, choose whether spare capacity should work for the network.
You keep the compute value your hardware generates.
Become a Founding Node See the economics
PLANNED the node application, Windows, Linux and macOS from the first release
Wanted the upgrade? Here is another reason to justify it.
Nobody needs Rutli to explain why a gamer wants a better GPU. That part is already solved. Rutli adds another line to the internal negotiation.
Instead of "I am spending more for better gaming", it can become: "I am buying a machine for gaming, creation, local AI, and it may also create value when I am not using all of it."
Wanted the better one anyway? Now it has another job.
A gamer's week, seen by the machine.
Busy in the evening. Idle overnight and through the working day. Those windows are yours to offer or to keep.
The controls, as they will look.
Hours, a ceiling on the GPU, a power cap, the kinds of work you accept, the countries it may come from. Contribution is explicit, scheduled, capped, interruptible, and yours to turn off.
PLANNED
- 23:00sharing on, by your schedule
- 23:14a paid AI job started · inside your 80% ceiling
- 01:52job finished · metered
- 02:05a paid AI job started
- 07:00sharing off, by your schedule
- 19:31you started a game · a job was stopped at once and resumed elsewhere
When you need your machine, you win.
The rule is in the node, not in a setting. A task of yours preempts network work immediately; the job is built to be interrupted and resumed elsewhere.
LIVE proven on the founder's machines
The costs, first.
Electricity is real. Heat is real. Demand is not guaranteed. We say it here because the networks that did not are the ones people left.
Rutli exposes the costs rather than hiding them behind a giant number. The node experience should make it easy to understand and control utilisation, power policy, the contribution schedule, thermal limits where available, actual workload history, and the actual compute value received. A rational owner should be able to decide whether contribution makes sense for their machine.
No fantasy maths. Just useful data.
100% means 100%.
PLANNED
A customer pays $1 for compute performed by your node.
You receive $1.
Rutli compute marketplace fee: $0.
What the owner keeps
Not included in the dollar
- Payment processing, at cost, shown separately.
- Payout to your account, at cost, shown separately.
- Your electricity.
- Your taxes.
Rutli does not make its money on your compute. It makes it on the services around the network, and it says so.
That is the target marketplace principle. The hardware is yours. The productive value should flow to you.
More power when you need it.
A node is not only a supplier. It can also be a consumer. When your own hardware cannot comfortably handle a workload, Rutli is designed to let applications reach into compatible network capacity.
Use your own machine first.
Contribute what you do not need.
Reach for more when you do.
This is why Rutli is not simply a GPU-rental marketplace.
What hardware qualifies?
Rutli is being built for a heterogeneous world: gaming PCs, AI workstations, creator machines, office servers, home AI systems, private servers, university and lab machines, future dedicated Rutli hardware, regional clusters. Founding work includes different machine classes and memory architectures. Public eligibility requirements will be published as the node software stabilises. Do not assume a GPU is supported because it is powerful; check the live list.

You already own the machine. Now decide what else it can do.
Join the founding cohort and help shape the node experience before public scale.
