COMMON. / RUN A NODE

Run a node.

The network is only real if people run it.

The commons were not built by one person. They were held by the participation of thousands. This network works the same way.

Running a node is not a technical contribution. It is a political one. Every device that joins makes the network harder to shut down, harder to buy, harder to fence off. That is the point.

We are in early testing. We are not ready to onboard everyone. We are reviewing applications personally and reaching out to people whose devices and intentions fit what we are building.

This is not a subscription. It is not a product launch. It is a question: will you hold this with us?

Application to run a node

We read every submission. No automated filtering. If your device can contribute and your reasons feel right, we will write to you directly.

Model, RAM, and operating system if you know them.

No right answer. Be honest. Three sentences is enough.

We do not share your information. We will not add you to a mailing list. We will write to you personally if your application moves forward.

your laptop
is enough

01

What your device does

Your machine runs a specialist model: a small, domain-specific AI that receives queries routed to its area. It processes them locally and returns a response. No data leaves without routing through the network. No central server sees everything.

02

What it costs you

Compute and electricity, when your device is active. In early testing, queries are sparse. You will not notice it running. We are not asking you to run a server full time. We are asking you to hold a stake.

03

What you get

Access to the network for your own queries. A stake in something that cannot be acquired or shut down. And the knowledge that your device is part of the counter to enclosure. We are not promising tokens or revenue. We are promising something harder to value and harder to take.
