ShareAI runs no models of its own: no data center anywhere. People run open models on their own computers and serve real chat requests; you pay per use in USDC on Base. No subscription, no email. Your wallet is your account.
shareai-worker script; it advertises your model and speed automatically.We'd rather tell you the honest limits upfront than have you find out later.
Because inference happens on a contributor's hardware, that machine receives your prompt text to generate the answer. The worker software never logs, stores, or transmits it, and contributors agree in our Terms not to inspect or retain it.
No software can fully prevent a determined host from inspecting what runs on their own hardware. Don't send secrets, credentials, or data you wouldn't want a third party to be technically able to see.
The worker only turns a prompt into generated text. It never runs tools, commands, or file/network actions on the contributor's machine. If you use a model as an agent, any tool execution happens only on your side.
Payments today are a simple prepaid USDC balance. We're moving toward pay-per-request directly from your wallet so the platform never holds your funds. See our legal pages for current terms.
No. You sign in by connecting a wallet (MetaMask or any WalletConnect wallet) and signing a free message. Your wallet address is your pseudonymous identity.
You pay per token at the price the contributor set, in USDC on Base. The exact amount is shown after every answer — there's no monthly fee.
Earnings accrue per request and are paid out automatically to your Base wallet in USDC once they pass the minimum payout threshold.
Technically the serving machine receives your prompt to run it. The worker never logs it and contributors agree not to inspect it — but local inference can't cryptographically hide it. Avoid sending secrets.
Yes for the host: the worker only generates text and never executes actions on the contributor's machine. Any tool use happens on your side only.
A machine running Ollama with a model pulled, plus the shareai-worker script (download it from your contributor dashboard). Python and an internet connection are enough — no public IP or port forwarding.
