A TokenOS compute node is GPU capacity you deploy on the TokenOS DeAI compute network for a fixed 30-day node term. The network uses the TokenOS A²E engine to route AI inference and other compute workloads to nodes. Nodes run AI inference, not crypto mining.
Confidential computing
All nodes require Intel TDX confidential computing (Sapphire Rapids CPUs or later): hardware enclave isolation, encrypted traffic between CPU and GPU, remote attestation, and operator blindness, meaning the node operator cannot read enclave memory.
Hardware tiers and prices
As listed on compute.tokenos.ai on September 25, 2026, the provisioning fee (shown on the site as Deployment Cost) for one 30-day node term is:
- NVIDIA H100 (Hopper, 80GB HBM3): $2,500
- NVIDIA H200 (Hopper, 141GB HBM3e): $3,125
- NVIDIA B200 (Blackwell, 192GB HBM3e): $5,250
- NVIDIA B300 (Blackwell Ultra, 288GB HBM3e): $7,500
- NVIDIA GB300X full-rack NVL72 (72 B300 GPUs and 36 Grace CPUs): $432,000
Prices can change. Checkout shows the price and any one-time setup fee before you pay. The GB300X full rack is a separate, experimental and higher-risk offering whose trays are placed individually on secondary compute marketplaces. Open a ticket before considering it, and for any large, custom or enterprise deployment.
Choosing a tier
Tiers differ in GPU architecture and memory, which determine the size of the models and workloads a node can serve. Compare the hardware details on compute.tokenos.ai. TokenOS support does not recommend a tier based on expected service fees and does not forecast what any node will be paid.
How to deploy a node
- Go to compute.tokenos.ai.
- Connect a Solana wallet such as Phantom, Solflare or Backpack.
- Choose a hardware tier and the number of nodes, and pay from your wallet. Checkout shows the accepted tokens and the total.
- If your node requires identity verification, complete it in your dashboard. Under Section 5.7 of the Terms, the node term does not start until verification is complete, and your payment is held unapplied until then.
Nodes are usually provisioned within 24 hours; full-rack deployments take longer. Each node runs its own 30-day term, which starts when the node is provisioned and attested, not at payment. You can run several nodes, including different tiers, from one wallet.
What the provisioning fee pays for
Under Section 4.6 of the Terms, the provisioning fee buys computing time, hosting and provisioning services for the fixed node term. You do not acquire any ownership interest in hardware, in TokenOS or in any token. A node term is personal to you, cannot be transferred and has no resale value. The provisioning fee is not held as a deposit. Refunds are available only in the cases set out in the Terms, for example Section 5.7 for orders cancelled because verification was not completed.
Service fees
Node operators are paid service fees for the compute their node delivers. Under Section 4.3 of the Terms, the net service fees generated by a node are allocated 50 percent to the node operator, 25 percent to the $TOS staking distribution pool and 25 percent to the TokenOS treasury. Section 4.3 defines net service fees.
Service fees depend on demand from compute buyers, market prices for compute, the node's uptime and performance, and the operator's continued compliance with the Terms. They vary, and a node may generate little or no service fees. Under Section 4.6 of the Terms, TokenOS does not guarantee any minimum service fees, utilization, payback period or recovery of the provisioning fee. Rates, fee totals and other figures shown on TokenOS sites are live rates, historical data or algorithmic estimates, not forecasts or guarantees (Terms Section 8.1).
Payouts
Payouts are sent on-chain to your payout wallet after the node term completes. Timing depends on settlement and is not guaranteed. For the current status of payouts, see the Node payout status article. Operators are responsible for their own taxes.
Bring your own GPU
Under Sections 4.2 and 5.9 of the Terms, operators who connect their own hardware must have acquired it lawfully, must keep it in a country on the TokenOS Permitted Countries List and never in a restricted place, must not use a VPN, proxy or other means to disguise its location, and must give 30 days written notice before relocating it.
