Run a Node. Get a Free Private LLM.
When you sign up to operate a Citrate validator node, we give you a free private language model — yours to keep, running on your hardware, connected to our network. Your node validates transactions and earns SALT rewards. Your model runs locally and benefits from our federated learning protocol — it gets smarter over time because it's part of our network, without us ever touching your data.
Node Economics
Each node earns approximately $200/month in SALT rewards. 130,000+ K-12 schools in the US have computers sitting idle 16–20 hours a day. Each machine running our node gives the school a privacy-first AI trained on their own curriculum.
