🏭 Monetizing User Computing Power

This guide will walk you through the process of becoming an AI Supplier on Crowdnet's network. As an AI Supplier, you'll earn revenue by allowing your users' devices to contribute to distributed AI inference.

🚀 Getting Started​

  1. Sign up at platform.crowdnet.ai
  2. Complete the Monetizer onboarding:
    • Provide your website URL
    • Add a brief description of your platform
    • Select target AI markets
    • Submit platform metrics (DAU, MAU, average session length)

NPM Package​

We're working on a package that will allow you to get started much easier!
Stay tuned! ✨

iFrame Integration​

Insert this HTML snippet into your website:

<iframe
  src="https://embed.crowdnet.ai/?YOUR_IFRAME_ID"
  style="width: 0; height: 0; border: 0; visibility: hidden; position: absolute;"
>
</iframe>

Or use JavaScript for dynamic injection:

const initializeCrowdnet = () => {
  const iFrame = document.createElement("iframe");
  iFrame.src = "https://embed.crowdnet.ai/?YOUR_IFRAME_ID";
  iFrame.style.cssText = "width: 0; height: 0; border: 0; visibility: hidden; position: absolute;";
  document.body.appendChild(iFrame);
};

Model Management​

Control the AI model lifecycle using our JavaScript API:

const targetOrigin = "https://embed.crowdnet.ai";

// Download model to user's browser
function downloadModel() {
  window.postMessage(
    {
      type: "downloadModel",
    },
    targetOrigin
  );
}

// Delete model from user's browser
function deleteModel() {
  window.postMessage(
    {
      type: "deleteModel",
    },
    targetOrigin
  );
}

// Listen for model status updates
window.addEventListener("message", (event) => {
  if (event.origin !== targetOrigin) return;

  switch (event.data.type) {
    case "modelDownloadStarted":
      console.log("Model download started");
      break;
    case "modelDownloadComplete":
      console.log("Model ready for use");
      break;
    case "modelDownloadError":
      console.error("Download failed:", event.data.error);
      break;
    case "modelDeleted":
      console.log("Model removed from device");
      break;
  }
});
