The Factory Needs Floors
The network's data plant doesn't live in a corporate cloud. It lives on homeboxes — machines like yours — and in open browser tabs. The website hands out the jobs. Your box does the work. Receipts prove every step.
Node Lite
No download. The page is the node.
- Runs in a browser tab, on its own page — nothing installs, nothing to remove
- Open it, type a name, tap "Join the line" — you're a node
- The lightest work: connection checks and small fetches
- Works while the tab is open; close the tab and you're out
- Any machine with a browser — even one you can't install on
Your invite carries your personal Lite link — it opens this same page, ready to join.
Node Small
Every spare machine counts.
- Your everyday computer, working in the background
- Light jobs: fetching public data, health checks, small processing
- About 20 GB of spare disk
- Runs only when idle, on the hours you set — defaults are gentle
- Pause with one click, any time, for any reason
macOS and Windows. Free.
Node Large
Bring the heavy iron.
- A dedicated box, or a serious machine with room to work
- The full job menu: bulk pulls, heavy processing, rendering
- 500 GB or more of spare disk, a fast connection
- Awake most of the day; takes the long jobs small nodes can't
- First in line for the heavy work
macOS, Windows, and Linux. Free.
Same caps. Same kill switch. Same rules.
The deal, in plain terms
- Your files are never touched. Installed nodes work inside their own folder and cannot see the rest of your machine; Node Lite runs in a browser tab and touches nothing on your machine at all. The website never sees your files.
- A fixed job menu. The site can ask for named jobs only. It can never send your machine new commands or arbitrary code.
- Your caps, your call. You set disk, hours, and load limits. The kill switch sits on your box, not ours — leaving is one click, and it removes everything.
- Results drain to the Factory floor. Your box keeps no record it's responsible for; finished work moves to the floor and is verified there.
- Nothing is trusted on its word. Every result is checked by hash before it counts.
- Nodes are handles, not people. The network knows your machine by a node name — not your name, not your address.
Connect your machine
The node program is enrolling by invitation while the network is young. If you have an invite, your invitation carries your personal download link — one download, and the installer walks you through connecting. Pick your system to see how it works:
Enrollment is by invite. Your invite link downloads the installer with your connect step built in — run it, enter your code when it prompts you to connect to the website, and you're a node. No invite yet? If you run a machine that should be a floor, get in touch through the site and say so.
- What does it cost me?
- Electricity and spare cycles you're not using. Jobs are capped, pausable, and scheduled around you — a node should never make your machine hot, loud, or slow when you need it.
- What does my box actually do?
- It fetches public data — government releases, public records, open datasets — and processes it: cleaning, keying, and reconciling it into the substrates the Factory's tools and trackers run on. The same work the Factory floor does today, spread across the network.
- Can I leave?
- Any time. One click stops the node and removes it. No notice, no penalty, no hard feelings.
