GPU Monetization Guide How to register GPUs, set pricing, and receive payouts on AITBC.

GPU Monetization Guide

Overview

This guide walks providers through registering GPUs, choosing pricing strategies, and understanding the payout flow for AITBC marketplace earnings.

Prerequisites

  • AITBC CLI installed locally: pip install -e ./cli
  • Account initialized: aitbc init
  • Network connectivity to the coordinator API
  • GPU details ready (model, memory, CUDA version, base price)

Step 1: Register Your GPU

aitbc marketplace gpu register \
  --name "My-GPU" \
  --memory 24 \
  --cuda-version 12.1 \
  --base-price 0.05
  • Use --region to target a specific market (e.g., --region us-west).
  • Verify registration: aitbc marketplace gpu list --region us-west.

Step 2: Choose Pricing Strategy

  • Market Balance (default): Stable earnings with demand-based adjustments.
  • Peak Maximizer: Higher rates during peak hours/regions.
  • Utilization Guard: Keeps GPU booked; lowers price when idle.
  • Update pricing strategy: aitbc marketplace gpu update --gpu-id <id> --strategy <name>.

Step 3: Monitor & Optimize

aitbc marketplace earnings --gpu-id <id>
aitbc marketplace status --gpu-id <id>
  • Track utilization, bookings, and realized rates.
  • Adjust --base-price or strategy based on demand.

  Coordinator->>Escrow: Hold booking funds
  Provider->>Coordinator: Deliver compute
  Coordinator->>Escrow: Confirm completion
  Escrow->>Wallet: Release payout to provider

Best Practices

  • Start with Market Balance; adjust after 48h of data.
  • Set --region to match your lowest-latency buyers.
  • Update CLI regularly for the latest pricing features.
  • Keep GPUs online during peak windows (local 9 AM 9 PM) for higher fill rates.

Troubleshooting

  • No bookings? Lower --base-price or switch to Utilization Guard.
  • Low earnings? Check latency/region alignment and ensure GPU is online.
  • Command help: aitbc marketplace gpu --help.
