# How It Works

GPUnity transforms unused GPU power into real earnings through a simple, transparent flow. Here’s the full process:

***

#### 1. Idle GPU Power

Most GPUs sit idle for long periods or aren’t used to their full capacity. GPUnity taps into this spare power without disrupting your normal usage.

***

#### 2. Secure Sharing

When you connect your wallet and start a session, your GPU’s **compute cycles** are shared with the GPUnity network.

* No files are stored or accessed on your machine.
* Only raw computing power is used.
* You stay in full control — disconnect anytime.

***

#### 3. Network Demand

AI, rendering, and blockchain workloads require massive compute. GPUnity pools together idle GPUs from users like you, creating a **decentralised GPU cloud** that can compete with centralised providers.

***

#### 4. Point System

Every second your GPU contributes, you earn **points**. These points reflect:

* How long your GPU was active.
* The relative strength/capacity of your hardware.
* Network demand during your session.

Points are the foundation of payouts.

***

#### 5. Reward Conversion

Points are converted into **stablecoin rewards (USDC)**.

* **Now:** Rewards are dispersed **manually** by the GPUnity team each week.
* **Soon:** Rewards will be distributed **automatically via smart contracts**, ensuring instant, transparent payouts.

***

#### 6. Transparent Tracking

Your **dashboard** shows:

* GPU usage in real time
* Points earned per session
* Pending payouts and history

Everything is on-chain, so rewards and distribution are fully verifiable.

***

#### 7. The Cycle Continues

As more users join and more demand flows into the network, your GPU power earns more. The stronger and longer you contribute, the higher your rewards.
