DePIN Node Earnings Calculator

⚠ IMPORTANT: These are estimates based on reported operator earnings as of March 2026. Earnings depend heavily on network utilisation, token price, your location, electricity costs, and competition from other nodes. Some networks (Grass, DIMO, Helium) pay via periodic airdrops rather than continuous withdrawals — see methodology for details. Do not purchase hardware solely based on these figures.

GPU Utilisation — 30%

⚠ This is the most important input. It means: what % of hours is your GPU actually being rented/working? Consumer GPUs on io.net/Render typically see 5–20% in practice — not 50–100%. Enterprise GPUs (A100, H100) with confirmed contracts can reach 60–80%. Default is 30% — a reasonable mid-case for a mid-range GPU. The "high" earnings figures in this table assume ~60% utilisation. Most home operators won't hit that.
