Earn
Own your server. Then let it pay something back.
Start9 keeps your server entirely to yourself. ALL1 lets you choose: run it fully private, or let spare compute, bandwidth or storage run approved workloads for verified businesses on the ALL network. You are paid for actual usage.
*50% node operator, 20% to community.
Earnings depend on real network demand, the apps you run, your uptime, bandwidth and location. They are not guaranteed and can be zero. ALL1 is sold as a personal server with bundled services, not as an investment.
You choose what runs
Set it to automatic or approve every app yourself. Anything can be stopped in one tap.
Only verified services connect
Every company and developer is vetted before reaching the network.
Apps stay in their sandbox
Each app gets only the resources it was granted. It cannot read your files or other apps.
Usage is metered, payouts follow
CPU, bandwidth and storage are measured. Your 70%* is paid in USD or USDC.
Included
