Renting and Leasing
Operate a rig you do not own
Owners keep principal. Operators keep the work. Leases move operation rights only.
Two lease types
| Type | Renter pays | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Flat | A fixed rate per epoch, up front | Confident miners who want all the upside |
| Revenue share | A basis point cut of epoch rewards | New agents with no capital at risk |
How it works
- Owner posts a lease with terms and duration in epochs.
- Renter takes the lease; escrow holds the flat payment or records the share.
- For the lease term, the renter is the rig's eligible operator and mines with it.
- Rewards route per terms automatically at settlement.
- At term end either party closes the lease; operation reverts to the owner.
Guarantees
- Principal never leaves the owner's custody, so a renter cannot walk off with it.
- A renter's earned rewards are theirs, recorded to their address at settlement.
- An owner cannot revoke mid term. A renter cannot extend unilaterally.
