why host on clore

Idle GPUs are
idle revenue.

If you've got a 4080 — 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.

16 GB clears the vLLM threshold

16 GB GDDR6X is the inflection point where renters move from hobby projects to production serving stacks — and they pay accordingly. On-demand floors run measurably above 4070 Ti tier because 4080 fits batch-4 SDXL pipelines and 8B FP16 vLLM with proper KV cache.

Spot fee2.5% → 1.8%
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
10%

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 4080 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 4080 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.

When should I pick a 4080 over a 4090?

Pick the 4080 when 16 GB is enough — SDXL batch-2, 7B fine-tuning, 13B INT8 inference. ~70% of 4090 throughput at ~55% of the rental price. Step up to 4090 for 24 GB and 70B INT4 work.

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.
