Run & Monetize TEE Nodes

TEE nodes form the secure execution backbone of the rep.fun network, and operating one is a direct path to earning within the ecosystem. Individuals or organizations with TEE-compatible hardware can become compute providers, executing encrypted AI tasks submitted by users across chains.

Node operators earn $REP for each task processed, with rewards dynamically adjusted based on performance metrics such as:

• Uptime & Availability: Continuous connectivity ensures node reliability.

• Latency & Throughput: Fast response and high task capacity increase routing preference.

• Attestation Validity: Every computation must generate a cryptographically verified proof of secure execution.

In addition, rep.fun features an open TEE Node Marketplace, where all active nodes are listed with real-time, anonymized performance data (secured through Secret Network). High-performing nodes earn greater visibility, receive task routing priority, and benefit from bonus incentive programs. A public leaderboard encourages competition and reputation-building — transforming node infrastructure into a transparent, merit-based service economy.

This combined architecture empowers anyone to operate as a core service provider within a decentralized AI network — no centralized approval, no hidden metrics, just provable performance rewarded in real time.
