# How Node Operators Earn

Node operators are paid for the work their hardware performs. Earnings are calculated transparently based on two factors: the number of tokens their node generates, and the energy their GPU consumes in doing so. This ties payouts directly to the value delivered, operators who run faster hardware, serve more requests, and maintain high uptime earn proportionally more.

Payouts are tracked in real time on the operator dashboard, with full visibility into tokens served, energy consumed, and earnings accumulated across any time period.
