why host on clore

Idle GPUs are
idle revenue.

If you've got a L40S — 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.

Production 70B FP8 host with real demand

Inference platforms have settled on L40S as the cheaper-than-H100 70B serving target — and that demand runs 24/7 on long contracts, not in burst-and-die cycles. Hosts consistently book L40S inventory weeks in advance once they show up on the marketplace.

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 L40S 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 L40S 48GB spot is $0.78 / hr right now.

04 / BOOST

Lock MFP (optional)

Lock 34,000 CLORE for Tier 1 (or up to 170,000 for Tier 2). 24 h warm-up, then up to +200% rental price as daily rewards.

faq

Questions hosts ask.

Is L40S a substitute for H100?

For inference, often yes — FP8 throughput on Llama-3 70B is competitive at a fraction of the rental price. For training, the H100's HBM3 bandwidth and NVLink fabric still win. Pick L40S for serving, H100 for pretraining.

What's typical utilization for inference GPUs on the marketplace?

Inference-tier cards (T4, L4, L40S, A10) clear 65-80% utilization on average, well above the 60% network-wide floor, because ML platforms running 24/7 serving traffic do not behave like bursty training jobs. L40S leads the tier because FP8 supply is tight in 2026; T4 stays high through sheer cost-per-request demand. Expect steadier monthly revenue than consumer cards.

How does A10 or L4 ROI compare to T4 for hosts?

T4 is cheap to acquire (often under $400 used in 2026) and earns roughly $135/mo at 70% utilization - payback in 3 months. A10 and L4 cost more upfront but earn $155-$260/mo on Ada-class throughput and FP8 demand. L4 wins on power-efficiency at 72 W. ROI ranking by months-to-break-even varies with second-hand prices in your region.

Do I need to provision NVENC for video transcoding renters?

All four inference cards (T4, L4, L40S, A10) ship with NVIDIA video encoders - L4 has dedicated AV1 NVENC, T4 has H.264/HEVC. NVENC is enabled by default in the host agent; transcoding renters (FFmpeg pipelines, OBS, Twitch infrastructure) find your listing via the standard marketplace filters. No extra setup.

What's the power draw versus revenue picture for L40S?

L40S pulls 350 W at full load and earns roughly $647/month gross at typical utilization. At $0.10/kWh that's about $25/mo in electricity, leaving $620+ net before any MFP staking bonus. The card is profitable in any region with electricity under $0.30/kWh. Datacenter operators with sub-$0.05/kWh rates capture the spread.

Can I MIG-partition my A10 or A100 for multi-tenant hosting?

A10 does not support MIG. A100 (40GB and 80GB) supports up to 7 MIG instances per card - enable it via nvidia-smi mig commands and the host agent will list each slice as a separately rentable GPU. Multi-tenant MIG hosting is the standard cloud-style pattern: more concurrent renters, smaller VRAM per slice, higher aggregate revenue.

Real numbers on the NVIDIA L40S.

48 GB ECC + Ada FP8 + 350 W — the production substitute for H100 inference when supply is tight.

Llama-3 70B FP8 single-card serving
vLLM + TensorRT-LLM FP8
~720 tok/s aggregated, 16 concurrent

FP8 quant + 48 GB fits 70B with room for KV cache — typically 40–60% the price of an H100 for inference workloads.
