Enterprise & Individual perspectives (official):
- For Enterprises: Access authentic residential edge capacity across 180+ countries and regions on demand — without building data centers — with enterprise reliability and dedicated support, and flexible, automated digital-asset settlement.
- For Individuals: Turn idle home devices into ongoing rewards — install the extension or embed the SDK and share only the resources you choose; one-click access, opt-in and transparent, with automatic digital-asset rewards.
How the network runs (official HOW IT WORKS): Providers connect with one click (Connect) → resources are securely pooled and metered (Coordinate Securely) → enterprises consume on demand while providers automatically earn digital-asset rewards (Use & Earn).
