Four income streams, one daemon
Same 3 MB daemon does bandwidth + Docker + GPU + iOS builds. A single Mac with 30 GB / month bandwidth and 4 idle hours of Xcode CI / day = ~$150 / month effective value.
For providers
Your hardware is yours. The receipts are too.
iogrid pays you for the work your idle PC or Mac contributes. Every byte that transits your IP is labeled in your dashboard, in real time. Block any category at any time. No black boxes.

Why provide for iogrid
Live audit dashboard
See every byte categorized: e-commerce, SEO, ad-verification, AI training. Block any category with one click. Block any customer. Block any destination.
Choose your currency
Cash via USDC + bank off-ramp. Free VPN minutes. $GRID with vesting + price upside. Charity match (we add 25% to any donation). Pick at signup, switch any time.
Schedule everything
Bandwidth cap. CPU cap. RAM cap. Active-hours calendar. Idle-only mode (default). The daemon only runs when you want it to.
Pre-flight protection
Anti-abuse filters (CSAM hashes, phishing list, fraud heuristics) run on your machine before traffic relays. You can audit the filter rules locally.
No surprises
If a customer’s use case ever drifts outside your opt-ins, the daemon refuses. We’d rather lose a customer than lose your trust.
Realistic earnings (monthly)
Phase 1 figures. Phase 2 forecast roughly 2× as the network scales.
| Hardware | Workloads | Cash equiv. | Effective value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old laptop, US | 30 GB bandwidth | $9 | $9 |
| Linux gaming PC | Bandwidth + GPU (4090, 6 hr idle) | $45 | $45 |
| M3 MacBook, work-from-home | Bandwidth + Docker + iOS CI (4 hr / day) | $120 | $145 |
| M3 Mac Studio, 24/7 | All workloads, always available | $210 | $260 |
“Effective value” includes the value of free VPN minutes for providers who opt into that payout currency.
What might transit your IP, and how you control it
By default, we route only the workload categories you’ve opted into. You can flip them on or off at any time. Even within an allowed category, every request is logged with the customer name, destination, and byte count.
- Enabled by default: e-commerce price monitoring, SEO rank checking, ad-verification, AI training data collection (public web only), iogrid-internal traffic.
- Opt-in only: lead-generation scraping (LinkedIn, Indeed), social-media intelligence (Twitter / IG / TikTok), adult-content scraping.
- Always blocked, network-wide: CSAM, phishing, fraud, sanctions-list destinations, anything our anti-abuse filter flags. You see attempts in your dashboard so you know we’re catching them.
- Your blocklist: add your employer’s domain, your bank’s domain, or anything else you don’t want associated with your IP.
