why host on clore

Idle GPUs are
idle revenue.

If you've got a 3090 — or a whole rack of them — you've already paid for the silicon, the power contract, the rack space. Clore turns that capex into per-minute revenue in your choice of crypto, no sales calls, no minimum commitment.

24 GB at consumer pricing fills 24/7

Solo developers and indie ML teams gravitate to the cheapest 24 GB rental on the marketplace, and the 3090 is exactly that. NVLink-pair listings command an extra premium for 70B INT4 serving. High-utilization card with predictable monthly net well above 3070/3080 tier.

On-demand fee10% → 5%

Per-minute payouts

Earnings credit to your wallet balance every minute the rental runs. Withdraw to BTC, USDT, USDC or CLORE as often as you want — no daily caps.

Hold CLORE,
earn ~50% more.

Stake some CLORE behind your machine and the network pays you a daily bonus on top of every rental — about half of what the renter pays you, again in CLORE. Skip it and you still get paid the normal way; this just stacks more on.

fees

Two fees. That's it.

Clore takes a small cut of every rental. Half is paid by you, half by the renter — so the number below is the full marketplace fee, not what comes out of your pocket.

Spot orders
2.5%

Interruptible — best for mining & batch jobs

You pay 1.25%, the renter pays the other 1.25%. Hold CLORE to cut your share even more.

On-demand orders

Reserved — best for AI & production

You pay 5%, the renter pays the other 5%. Hold CLORE to cut your share even more.

how to host

From rig to revenue
in under 30 minutes.

A Linux box, the Clore hosting software, a stable internet connection. One 3090 or a tier-3 facility — same flow.

01 / INSTALL

Install Clore Hosting Software

Boot from the Clore Linux image (USB or PXE). Pair the host with your account using your initialization token.

02 / CONFIGURE

Set server visibility

Configure SSH, Docker, and per-card settings. Flip the server to public when it passes the auto-attestation.

03 / PRICE

Set spot & on-demand

List both, or just one. Adjust live — the floor for RTX 3090 spot is $0.18 / hr right now.

04 / BOOST

Lock MFP (optional)

Lock 18,000 CLORE for Tier 1 (or up to 90,000 for Tier 2). 24 h warm-up, then up to +200% rental price as daily rewards.

faq

Questions hosts ask.

Why pick a 3090 over a 4090?

The 3090 has the same 24 GB VRAM as the 4090 at roughly 60% of the rental price. Slower memory bandwidth (936 vs 1,008 GB/s) and no FP8, but for budget-sensitive 24 GB workloads it's the value pick.

Can I host one card or do I need a full rig?

One card is fine. Most CLORE.AI hosts run between 1 and 16 GPUs out of home offices, gaming rigs, or small-shop racks. The onboarding flow is the same for a single 4090 in a desktop tower as it is for a 16-card chassis - install the host agent, register the wallet, list the GPU. No datacenter required.

How do I get paid - crypto only?

Earnings credit your unified Clore wallet balance. Withdraw any time in BTC, USDT, USDC (Ethereum ERC-20), or CLORE. There are no withdrawal limits beyond network confirmation fees, and no minimum payout threshold. Renters pay in CLORE or BTC today; stablecoin rental payments are on the roadmap so your incoming mix will broaden.

Is hosting on CLORE more profitable than mining?

For modern consumer cards (3080 and up), yes - rental revenue typically clears 2-4x what the same GPU mines on Ethash-class algorithms in 2026. When the marketplace is quiet, the host agent automatically falls back to mining, so the card is always doing something. Net result: you capture peak rental income and never sit fully idle.

What hardware do I need beyond the GPU itself?

A modern x86 host (4+ CPU cores, 16-32 GB RAM per GPU, NVMe SSD), a stable internet line (100 Mbps symmetric is plenty for most workloads), and a PSU sized for the card's TDP plus 30% headroom. The host agent runs on Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04. No GPU-direct networking required for consumer-tier listings.

What's the MFP staking bonus and do I need it?

MFP Lock is optional. You stake CLORE behind a server's quality score; in return the network pays a daily emission reward up to +200% of the server's rental price and reduces the extra non-CLORE hoster fee to 0%. Skipping it forfeits the bonus but carries no penalty. On a consumer card earning $300/month, MFP can stack meaningful CLORE on top of fiat-equivalent rental income.

Real numbers on the RTX 3090.

24 GB on a consumer card unlocks 13B–34B QLoRA, Flux production, and dual-GPU 70B INT4 — the legacy value pick of 2026.

Flux.1 dev 1024²
ComfyUI + fp8 dev checkpoint
~1.6 s/it @ 1024² batch 1

24 GB lets you keep T5-XXL encoder resident; cuts cold-start latency vs swapping on a 16 GB card.
