The operators who run the network.
Network operators run the privacy servers and the verification endpoint. An operator deposits into the subnet as a revenue-backed signal of real demand, runs the routing-verification protocol that co-signs each measured path, and commits the payout list that splits its rewards among the miners attached to it. Operators report the usage that rewards follow but never hold anyone else's funds.
Run the servers
Operators run the privacy servers and the /verify endpoint that co-signs each measured path, the coordination layer between users and the miners that carry the traffic.
Signal real demand
Operators are billed in alpha sized to their real usage. Every deposit goes into a reserve and pays for the audited usage that validators weight when they score the pools.
Commit the payouts
Each settlement period an operator commits a Merkle payout list that splits its pool among its miners; from settlement v2 the split follows verified usage alone and pays only after the validator approves it. It never takes custody: every miner claims its share directly from the contract.
Get started
Register a network-operator key and run the /verify server to begin; no deposit is due while the published rate is 0. Operator admission is owner-gated during the launch phase.
