Section 01 · Getting started

Overview

Nodera is a platform that opens fractional ownership of GPU computing infrastructure to retail investors. The hardware — clusters of NVIDIA H100, A100, and RTX 6000 Ada GPUs housed in Tier III/IV data centers — is rented out to B2B clients for AI companies, studios, research teams for training, inference, and rendering workloads. Revenue from those contracts funds daily payouts to the investors who hold slots tied to that hardware.

Core concepts

  • Platform — Nodera itself; the software layer plus the ops team that procures hardware, signs B2B contracts, processes investor deposits, and schedules payouts.
  • Investor — a retail user who deposits capital and holds slots.
  • B2B client — a company that rents the actual compute. Never seen by investors directly.
  • Cluster — a physical group of GPUs in a data center. All hardware Nodera operates lives in named clusters across five regions.
  • Slot — a fixed-term allocation of capital tied to a specific tier of hardware. Each slot maps to exactly one GPU.
  • Tier — one of five pricing levels, each targeting a different GPU type, entry amount, and term length.

End-to-end flow

  1. Register an account with email and password; enable two-factor authentication.
  2. Deposit funds in supported crypto (USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH). Funds are auto-converted and credited to your available balance.
  3. Create a slot — pick a tier, pick an income mode (Compound or Claim), confirm.
  4. Earn — daily payouts accrue either to the slot's balance (Compound) or directly to your available balance (Claim).
  5. Complete or withdraw — at term-end, principal plus earnings release; withdraw via BEP-20 or TRC-20.

Glossary

Quick definitions for terms used throughout this documentation and the investor dashboard.

A100 / H100

NVIDIA data-center GPUs. H100 (2022 architecture) is the current flagship for large-model training; A100 (2020) remains dominant for inference and general-purpose ML workloads.

RTX 6000 Ada

NVIDIA workstation-class GPU with 48 GB memory. Used for rendering, fine-tuning, and smaller training runs.

NVLink

NVIDIA's high-bandwidth GPU-to-GPU interconnect. Enables paired GPUs to share memory directly, essential for large-model AI workloads.

Cluster

A group of GPUs co-located in one data-center facility, networked together. Clusters are the unit we track for utilization and health telemetry.

Slot

An investor's fixed-term capital allocation. One slot equals one GPU of the selected tier for the selected term.

Tier

One of five pricing levels (Start, Core, Turbo, Enterprise, Enterprise Pro). Each combines a specific GPU class, entry amount, term length, and daily rate.

Compound mode

Daily payouts auto-reinvest into the slot. The slot's balance grows over time; final payout is released at term-end.

Claim mode

Daily payouts credit directly to available balance and are withdrawable. Rate is 60% of Compound — the trade-off for liquidity.

PUE

Power Usage Effectiveness. Ratio of total facility power to IT equipment power. Lower is better; 1.0 is the theoretical ideal.

Tier III / Tier IV

Uptime Institute data-center classifications. Tier III guarantees 99.982% uptime and concurrent maintainability; Tier IV adds full fault tolerance.

SLA

Service Level Agreement. Nodera commits to 99.97% rolling uptime across its fleet.

KYC

Know Your Customer. Identity verification required by UK / EU regulations for certain withdrawal patterns.

Source of Funds (SoF)

Documentation showing where deposited capital originated. Required alongside KYC for enhanced due diligence.

TRC-20 / BEP-20

Stablecoin networks supported for withdrawals. TRC-20 (Tron) costs $5 per withdrawal; BEP-20 (BNB Smart Chain) costs $2.

Section 03 · Economics

Tiers & rates

Five tiers are offered. Each targets a different combination of GPU class, capital commitment, term length, and daily rate. The table below shows Compound daily (the advertised rate) and Claim daily (the effective rate for the liquidity mode — see Income modes).

TierGPUEntryTermCompound / dayClaim / day
StartA100 40GB$9914d0.120%0.072%
CoreRTX 6000 Ada$29921d0.350%0.210%

Enterprise ProH100 / A100$2,99963d2.100%1.260%

Each slot corresponds to exactly one GPU. Tiers differ in the GPU's capability and the term length — higher tiers run longer because larger-model B2B contracts typically have longer reservation windows.

Advertised rates are performance targets based on historical cluster utilization. See Risk & safety for the full picture.

Section 04 · Economics

Income modes

When creating a slot you choose how payouts accrue. The choice is permanent for that slot — it cannot be changed after activation.

Compound

Daily payouts are automatically reinvested into the slot's balance. The next day's payout is calculated on the new, higher balance, producing compound growth. No interim withdrawals; the full balance releases at term-end.

income = P × ((1 + r)^n − 1)

Where P is your deposit, r is the compound daily rate for the tier, and n is the term in days.

Claim

Daily payouts credit directly to your available balance, where they can be withdrawn any time. The slot's base never grows; each day pays a flat simple-interest amount.

income = P × r × n

Where r is the effective claim daily rate, equal to compound_rate × 0.60.

Worked examples — Turbo tier ($599 · 35 days)

  • Compound: 599 × ((1 + 0.0085)^35 − 1) = $206.53 over the term.
  • Claim: 599 × 0.0051 × 35 = $106.92 over the term, credited as ~$3.05 per day.

Which to choose

  • Compound — maximizes total return. Best when you don't need interim liquidity and can commit the full term.
  • Claim — lower absolute return, but daily payouts are immediately withdrawable. Best when cash-flow predictability matters.

Section 05 · Using Nodera

Deposits

All deposits are crypto. You send any supported asset on any supported network; the platform auto-converts to USDT on BEP-20 behind the scenes, and credits your available balance in USD terms.

Supported incoming assets

  • USDT (Tron, BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum)
  • USDC (Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain)
  • BTC (Bitcoin mainnet)
  • ETH (Ethereum mainnet)

Flow

  1. In the dashboard, open Deposit, pick the asset and amount you're sending, and click Next.
  2. The platform generates a unique deposit address for your intent and shows it with a QR code and a 20-minute countdown.
  3. Send from your own wallet to the generated address. Do not reuse an old Nodera address.
  4. Once the transaction confirms on-chain, the platform auto-converts to USDT (BEP-20) and credits your available balance.
  5. The dashboard shows the confirmation and the new balance in real time.

Timing

Credit times depend on the source network: BEP-20 deposits typically credit within 3–5 minutes; ETH-mainnet within 10–15 minutes; BTC within 20–40 minutes after required confirmations.

Expired intents

If you don't send funds within the 20-minute window, the deposit intent expires. The generated address remains valid for late detection for 24 hours — funds arriving late are still credited. After 24 hours, the address is retired.

Section 06 · Using Nodera

Slots

A slot is the unit of investment on the platform. Creating a slot allocates capital to a specific tier for the tier's full term.

Creating a slot

  1. Open the Slots panel and click Create slot.
  2. Pick a tier — entry amount and term are fixed per tier; see Tiers & rates.
  3. Pick an income mode — Compound or Claim. Permanent once confirmed.
  4. Confirm. Your available balance is debited by the entry amount; the slot becomes active immediately.

During the term

  • Daily payouts apply at 00:00 UTC. In Compound mode they grow the slot's balance; in Claim mode they credit your available balance.
  • Boost — you can add capital to an active slot any time during its term. Boost capital earns at the same rate for the remaining days.
  • Live telemetry — each slot displays its assigned cluster's real-time utilization and health state.

Completion

When the term ends, the slot moves to completed status. In Compound mode, the full balance (principal plus compounded earnings) releases to your available balance. In Claim mode, only the original principal releases — earnings were already credited daily.

Slots cannot be terminated early. If you anticipate needing the capital back mid-term, choose a shorter-term tier (Start: 14d) or use Claim mode for daily liquidity.

Section 07 · Using Nodera

Withdrawals

Withdrawals are processed manually by our operations team. This is a deliberate fraud-control and AML measure — every withdrawal is reviewed before the on-chain transaction is broadcast from treasury.

Submitting a withdrawal

  1. Open the Withdrawal panel and enter the destination address, network (TRC-20 or BEP-20), and amount.
  2. Confirm. The amount is locked from your available balance and the request enters the moderator queue.
  3. You'll see a pending entry in your recent withdrawals with a 3-step tracker (submitted → reviewing → broadcast).

Timing

Most withdrawals process within 4–6 hours during business hours (London time). Submissions outside business hours are processed the next business day.

Section 08 · Reference

Infrastructure

Nodera operates 6,180+ GPUs across 6 facilities in 5 countries. All hardware runs in Tier III or Tier IV data centers under operational contract, with fleet-wide uptime tracked against a 99.97% SLA.

A detailed breakdown — fleet composition, commissioning history, and efficiency metrics — is on the About page.

Section 09 · Reference

Risk & safety

Investing in GPU infrastructure through Nodera carries real risks. Advertised rates are performance targets, not guarantees. Funds committed to active slots are illiquid for the term.

Primary risks

  • Market — B2B demand for compute can soften; utilization determines realized returns.
  • Liquidity — slots cannot be exited early. Choose term length accordingly.
  • Operational — hardware failure, data-center incidents, or key-personnel events can reduce or delay payouts.
  • Regulatory — changes in law, taxation, or sanctions may restrict access or impact returns.
  • Custody — on-chain withdrawals are final. Verify your destination address before confirming.

Security practices

  • Two-factor authentication — strongly recommended; required for withdrawals above configured thresholds.
  • Encryption — personal data and documents are encrypted at rest and in transit.
  • Role-based access — internal systems use least-privilege access; every KYC document access is audit-logged.
  • Session hygiene — sessions expire after inactivity; use Force logout from Settings if you suspect unauthorized access.
