Browser worker quick start

Turn your browser tab into a GPU worker and start earning USDC. No installation required.

Setup​

  1. Go to c0mpute.ai/worker
  2. Log in with your X (Twitter) account
  3. Browser workers run Qwen3 8B Uncensored — ~4.3GB download, needs ~6GB VRAM, serves Pro tier
  4. Click Start Worker

The first time you start, the model downloads to your browser's cache. This takes a few minutes depending on your connection. After that, subsequent starts are instant.

Running​

Once the model is loaded, your browser is actively processing jobs from the c0mpute network. The worker page shows real-time stats:

  • USDC earned — your total claimable earnings
  • Uptime — how long the worker has been running
  • Jobs completed — number of inference requests processed
  • tok/s — your current token generation speed

Keep the tab open and active. If you close it or navigate away, the worker stops.

Tips​

  • Use Chrome or Edge — they have the best WebGPU support
  • Don't minimize the tab — some browsers throttle background tabs, which kills performance
  • Check your GPU — open chrome://gpu to verify WebGPU is enabled and using your discrete GPU
  • Multiple tabs don't help — one worker per browser instance. Running two will fight over VRAM.

Requirements​

  • A browser with WebGPU support (Chrome 113+, Edge 113+, Firefox 130+ with flag)
  • A GPU with ~6GB free VRAM (RTX 3060+, M1+, etc.) to run Qwen3 8B Uncensored

Earnings​

Workers earn 70% of the USD value of the credits spent on every job they complete, paid out in USDC. Earnings depend on:

  • Tokens generated — longer responses spend more credits, so they earn more
  • Availability — workers who stay online longer get more jobs

Stake to earn more. Workers who stake at least 1,000,000 $ZERO (held 24h) earn an 80% share instead of 70% on every job. See The $ZERO Token.

Earnings are tracked on the worker page and tied to your account. Withdraw your balance to any Solana wallet as USDC whenever you like.
