A small aluminum device, deck-of-cards-sized, with a single status LED. Sits on a desk next to your laptop.
Opt in and your $30 deposit earns yield while you wait. Yield is credited against the balance at confirm time.
Page shows $599 / $30. The wallet UI converts to QUBIC at the current rate. You never lose to token price moves between reserve and confirm.
Cancel any time before mainnet for a full refund of the deposit. After mainnet, the standard reservation release terms apply.
Tier 1 is open now. Tiers 2 and 3 drop later, sequenced. Reservation holders get a 7-day head start on each new tier.
The reserve flow uses your Qubic wallet. No accounts to create, no fiat to convert, no email-to-card dance.
After mainnet, the node is yours. Run any model on the network. Bring your own API keys for a flat $29 per month and skip the model-usage margin.
We compare on the things that matter for AI workloads. Hetzner and AWS rent you generic compute by the hour. Aigarth reserves you a node on a Qubic-secured network.

A reserved slot in the Aigarth network. When mainnet goes live, your spot becomes compute capacity you control. The deposit holds the spot, the balance pays for it.
The full commitment for a tier 1 spot, paid in QUBIC at the rate when you confirm. After mainnet, the unit is yours. No subscription, no per-month fees, no hidden charges.
Zero recurring fees on the node itself. You pay QUBIC for the model usage you run on the network, at cost with a small margin. You can bring your own model API keys for a flat $29 per month if you want to skip the margin.
When Aigarth mainnet launches. We will email you 14 days before mainnet goes live to confirm your address and balance. You have 14 days to confirm or release.
Yes. Cancel any time before mainnet for a full refund of the $30 deposit. After mainnet, the refund is partial (5% of the deposit as a release fee, matching the standard reservation release terms).
Optional. If you turn it on, your $30 deposit is locked in Qearn and earns yield while you wait. The yield is credited against your balance at confirm time. Default is off. Currently accrues at 5% APY in the marketing stub; the real Qearn rate will replace this at mainnet.
The page shows USD. The wallet UI converts to QUBIC at the current rate when you sign. We use a 60-second price oracle that pulls from CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, takes the median, and refuses to charge if the rate is more than 5 minutes stale.
Hetzner and AWS rent you generic compute by the hour, billed in fiat. Aigarth reserves you a node on a Qubic-secured network, paid in QUBIC, with verifiable compute receipts and the same OpenAI-compatible APIs.
Raw staking earns you a share of network rewards. Aigarth nodes earn you a slot in the compute network. The yield profile is different, the risk profile is different, and the upside depends on whether people use the network you are powering.
You get an email with a confirm link. Click it, sign the balance transaction in your Qubic wallet, and the node activates. If you do nothing, the system auto-releases your spot with a partial refund after 14 days.
