Run a Node. Earn tokens. run a local AI model.
When you sign up to operate a Citrate validator node, it comes with a local model running privately and secure on your own hardware, connected to our network. Your node validates transactions and earns $SALT rewards. Your model runs locally, and can benefit from our compute resources available on the network from other users. Enter into our federated learning protocol. Your model will get smarter over time as it leverages our paraconsistent consensus protocol, made for validating AI learning cycles.
Node Economics
Each node earns approximately $100-200/month in SALT rewards. 130,000+ K-12 schools in the US have computers sitting idle 16–20 hours a day. They desperately need funds, and Each machine running our node gives the school tokens they can exchange for USD, as well as a privacy-first AI trained on their own curriculum.
