Worker tokens

Worker tokens authenticate your native worker with the c0mpute network. They link your worker to your Privy account so you get credit for completed jobs.

Generating a token​

  1. Go to c0mpute.ai/worker
  2. Login with Privy
  3. Scroll to Native Worker
  4. Click Get Worker Token
  5. Copy and save the token immediately — it's shown only once

Token format​

All worker tokens start with cwt_ followed by a random string:

cwt_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6

Important details​

  • Shown once — tokens are stored hashed on the server. If you lose it, generate a new one.
  • Never expire — tokens remain valid until you revoke them.
  • Max 5 per account — you can have up to 5 active tokens. This lets you run multiple workers on different machines.
  • Tied to your account — earnings from any token go to the same Privy account.

Revoking tokens​

If a token is compromised or you no longer need it:

  1. Go to c0mpute.ai settings
  2. Find the token in your active tokens list
  3. Click Revoke

Revoked tokens stop working immediately. Any worker using that token will disconnect.

Security​

  • Never share your worker token publicly
  • Don't commit it to git repositories
  • Use environment variables if running in automated setups:
export C0MPUTE_TOKEN="cwt_your_token_here"
npx @c0mpute/worker --token $C0MPUTE_TOKEN
  • If you accidentally expose a token, revoke it immediately and generate a new one
