Node operators connect NVIDIA GPUs that render OctaneRender scenes and run AI jobs for artists and studios, and are paid in the RENDER token for completed work and availability, distributed weekly. New operators apply through an interest form and wait in an onboarding queue. Machines need a CUDA GPU with at least 6 GB of VRAM (8 GB+ preferred), 32 GB+ of RAM, about 100 GB of SSD space and a strong connection.
