Run GPU inference. Earn MOR. Power the decentralized AI network.
This is the complete guide to becoming a provider on the Morpheus decentralized AI network. Providers run AI models on their own hardware or cloud GPUs, serve inference to consumers over a peer-to-peer network, and earn MOR tokens from compute emissions and session payments.
- 3,456 MOR/day distributed to providers -- proportional to your stake
- Session payments from consumers who use your models
- Power multipliers -- lock MOR for 1-6 years for up to 10.7x boosted emissions
- Early mover advantage -- fewer providers now means a larger share of emissions
- Base L2 -- gas costs are fractions of a cent
