How it works, exactly

Nothing here depends on chance. Every payout is a wallet's share of a pot, worked out from its balance and how long it has held, and every round publishes the full calculation so that anyone can repeat it.

A wallet takes part in a round when it holds at least the minimum bag at the snapshot. Its weight is its balance, counted up to the cap, times its multiplier from the ladder. Its share of the pot is its weight divided by the weight of all eligible wallets. Holding more than the cap is allowed, but the part above it earns nothing.

These addresses never earn, whatever they hold:

• the pump.fun bonding curve and the liquidity pools of the coin,
• the engine wallet and the Reserve wallet,
• any account owned by a program rather than by a person's key,
• and any address an admin excludes, which would be listed in the changelog. None is excluded today.

The clock starts when a wallet first holds the minimum bag. The multiplier is 1x at the start, 2x after 1 hour, 3x after 3 hours, 7x after 6 hours, 8x after 12 hours and 10x after 1 day. It stays at 10x for as long as the wallet keeps holding.

Buying more never resets it. The larger balance simply counts from the next round, with the multiplier the wallet has already earned.

Selling or sending any amount resets it to 1x. The clock restarts at that moment if the wallet still holds the minimum bag, and stops if it does not. Moving tokens to another wallet of your own is a send: the sender starts again, and the receiving wallet has its own clock. NVDAx that was already credited to the wallet is not affected and stays owed.

A wallet that reaches 10x has held without selling for 1 day.

When the NVDAx market is thin, which is common at weekends and outside United States market hours, a swap may not fit inside the limit. The fees then stay in the engine wallet in SOL and are swapped in a later round when the market is deeper. They are not lost and are not paid in SOL. The status page says when this is happening.

The milestones and portions can be changed by an admin. Every change is public in the changelog before it applies. The Reserve's purchases, balance and history are on the Reserve page.

• You connect a wallet, sign in with a signed message, choose a GPU and a number of hours, and give an SSH public key.
• The total is the provider's price for those hours plus the margin. You pay it in USDC or in SOL, from your wallet, in one transaction. A SOL price is quoted only when two independent price sources agree.
• When the payment is seen on chain the instance is started for you. It comes with PyTorch 2.8, CUDA 12.8, Ubuntu 24.04, JupyterLab. You get SSH access with your key and a JupyterLab address with a password made for that rental.
• The clock starts when the machine is running, not when you paid.
• You can add hours at any time while it runs, at the price it was rented at. The instance ends by itself when the time is up.
• If it does not start within 15 minutes, or the provider has no capacity, the whole payment is returned to the wallet that paid, margin included. A provider's catalogue can list a GPU it then cannot start. When that happens the offer is taken off this site for 30 minutes, so the next renter is not sent through the same payment and refund.
• If the provider loses a running instance, the time that was not delivered is refunded pro rata.
• If you stop a rental early yourself, the remaining time is not refunded. The page says so before you confirm.
• Save your work elsewhere before the end. Nothing on the instance is kept.

Listing your own GPU is not open. There is a waitlist, and no listing is shown until real hardware is behind it.

Why a wallet shows slightly more than a round file. When Nvidia pays a dividend, the issuer reinvests it by raising a multiplier stored on the token instead of sending cash. The number of raw units in a wallet stays the same and the displayed balance grows. Round files and all accounting use raw units. Every amount on this site is shown the way wallets show it, with the multiplier applied.

What the issuer can do. The token gives its issuer the power to pause all transfers, to freeze an individual account, and to move or burn tokens through a permanent delegate. These exist for legal and regulatory reasons and are outside our control.

• If transfers are paused, the engine swaps nothing and sends nothing. Fees stay in SOL and are paid when transfers resume.
• If a holder's NVDAx account is frozen, that wallet's share is credited and waits. Other wallets are paid as usual.
• If the issuer adds a transfer hook to the token, payouts are held until the engine supports it.
• Nothing is swapped or sent within 15 minutes of a multiplier change, on either side of it, as the issuer advises. Rounds fall on the hour and changes take effect at 00:30 UTC, so this rarely delays anything.

These wallets are operated by software, and their keys are held by the operator. The published rules say what each one does, and every movement that follows the rules is recorded in a round file or on a rental. The addresses are public so that anyone can watch that nothing else leaves them.
