Root Network

Root Network Protocol

Getting started ​

Root Network turns the internet connection you already pay for into verified infrastructure for AI research, and pays you in dollars for the part you were not using.

Start earningHow it works

Root Network is built from two parts that only work together:

  1. The Root app and browser extension let people share the bandwidth they are not using and get paid for it. You choose how much of your connection is available. Everything else stays yours.
  2. The Root Network is a distributed system of nodes, routers and validators that routes traffic from AI labs through contributor connections, verifies every byte that was moved, and settles what each contributor is owed.
