# Getting Started

<figure><img src="/files/YOu2hpkfQXK61actJFUy" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### The GPU Sharing Dashboard

The GPU Sharing Dashboard is your starting point in GPUnity. Everything happens right here, no downloads, no complicated setup.

#### 1. Connect Your Wallet

Simply connect your Ethereum wallet on the left-hand panel. This links your account, tracks your rewards, and logs your session history.

#### 2. GPU Detection

Your GPU is automatically detected and benchmarked. You’ll see details like tier, vendor, and performance score (e.g., NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti with 1500 FPS).

#### 3. Stress Control

Use the **stress level slider** to decide how much GPU power you want to contribute.

* Low = lighter usage
* High = maximum output and **maximum rewards**

#### 4. Start Sharing

Click **Start Sharing** and your GPU begins powering the network instantly. Just keep this screen open, and your points will start accumulating in real time.

#### 5. Track Progress

Your **session points**, **uptime**, and **lifetime points** are updated live. The **session history** shows a full log of your contributions.\ <br>

### Staking (Coming Soon)

The Staking Dashboard lets you put your $UNITY tokens to work and earn rewards in USDC with simple 24-hour lock periods.

#### 1. Connect Your Wallet

Make sure your wallet is connected on the left-hand panel. This is required to deposit and track your $UNITY stakes.

#### 2. Enter Stake Amount

In the **Stake $UNITY Tokens** box, enter the amount of tokens you want to lock. Each stake comes with a **24-hour lock period**, after which rewards start accruing.

#### 3. Track Your Stakes

The top panel shows:

* **Total Staked**: How much $UNITY you’ve locked.
* **Pending Rewards**: Your current earnings in USDC.
* **Active Stakes**: The number of ongoing positions.

#### 4. Claim Rewards

Once your rewards are available, use the **Claim USDC Rewards** panel to withdraw them directly into your wallet. Rewards are distributed proportionally, based on how much $UNITY you’ve staked.

### Earnings

The Earnings Dashboard tracks everything you make from GPU sharing and provides an easy way to withdraw your rewards.

#### 1. Earnings Overview

At the top, you’ll see your key stats:

* **Total Earned**: The total amount you’ve made from GPU sharing.
* **Available Balance**: The portion that’s ready to withdraw.
* **Pending Balance**: Rewards that are still being calculated.
* **Total Withdrawn**: The total you’ve already claimed.

#### 2. Withdraw Earnings

When funds are available, enter the amount you’d like to withdraw in the **Withdraw Earnings** box. Rewards are denominated in USD and can be transferred directly to your connected wallet.

#### 3. Transaction History

This section logs all your withdrawals and activity, giving you full visibility of your past earnings.

#### 4. Earnings Chart

The **Earnings Overview** includes a visual chart that maps your GPU sharing rewards over time, so you can easily track performance and growth.

### Activity

The Activity Dashboard gives you a complete overview of your GPU sharing sessions and points earned.

#### 1. Session Summary

At the top, you’ll see two key stats:

* **Total Sessions**: The number of times you’ve shared your GPU.
* **24h Points**: Points you’ve earned in the last 24 hours.

#### 2. Session Log

Every session is recorded here with full details:

* **Date & Time**: When the session started.
* **Final Stress Level**: The GPU load you selected (higher stress = higher rewards).
* **Points Earned**: The rewards gained for that session.

#### 3. Tracking Your Progress

Each row represents a single GPU sharing session. Over time, this log helps you see which stress levels and session lengths generate the most rewards.
