The Future of Remote Miners

Remote miners have been a pragmatic bridge between scaling demand and the availability of CSP remote miners with all details of location verification. Early 2026 marks the next phase for this product category, a phase built on transparency, and preparation for a new reward architecture that aligns the building of the network, new and existing communities and the evolving ecosystem.

Why we are changing the product

The market has matured and so we also want to show progress and include our network capacity in every product. Until now, remote miners were often sold with limited on-site detail, which created information asymmetry and made the product feel artificial, although it was built upon real world tangible solar deployments. That ambiguity slows adoption, and does not reflect the real state of the network and its capacity. We are removing that ambiguity. For every new remote miner going on sale after this change is implemented, concrete data points will be included up front and in the database, visible in the console and on-chain where appropriate:

• Location, at the country and city levels.
• Inverter brand and model, the exact hardware driving the system.
• An on-site photo of the solar installation.

This is not cosmetic. It is a structural change to how we underwrite, monitor, and reward deployed assets. We will mature this product and make it as appealing as the CSP Remote Miners were in the past.

Cleaner reward mechanics

This change is preparatory to a broader CSP reward model update. CSP owners will no longer receive rewards tied to CSP remote miner sales. Instead, we are unifying rewards under a single, transparent system that separates device sales economics from ongoing service and grid value. The result is clearer incentives for CSPs, and a simpler revenue flow.

How the unified reward model will work, in principle

• CSP rewards will be tied to verified grid services, uptime, and measured contribution to green energy issuance and retirement.
• In the old model, the CSP owners' rewards were tied to CSP Remote miners being sold. We will remove this dependency and also the selling of the CSP Remote miners, instead carving out one direct reward model for residential solar

This evolution is about credibility and scale. Publishing location, inverter model, and on-site photos are a small change with an outsized impact. It improves accuracy, elevates the whole category, and prepares the ecosystem for a cleaner, unified reward architecture.
