Built on the core principles of a fully decentralized architecture, OctaRender introduces a paradigm shift in how digital artists, studios, and technical directors handle rendering pipelines. Packed with advanced features developed directly *by artists, for artists*, the platform eliminates traditional infrastructure bottlenecks. By dynamically distributing complex rendering workloads across a global, decentralized network of high-performance nodes, OctaRender offers unprecedented flexibility, speed, and reliability without the overhead of traditional cloud services. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/RMQHrVhQ-ycpo9YUb5IKd_428shots-so.png) ## What makes OctaRender unique? Traditional centralized rendering platforms typically operate as "black boxes." Users upload their project files but have limited visibility or control over the specific hardware allocated to their renders. Additionally, centralized systems are often highly rigid, frequently lacking native support for complex scene dependencies such as custom Blender add-ons, complex geometry nodes, or external simulation caches. OctaRender alters this approach by functioning as an on-demand, dedicated render farm where the user retains full configuration control. ### Hardware and Budget Management Instead of relying on automated, fixed resource allocation, you define the parameters of your rendering environment. The platform allows you to choose the type of hardware, specify the number of nodes assigned to your active jobs, and set your budget constraints. This allows for precise control over the balance between rendering speed and cost. ### Real-Time Scalability To accommodate changing deadlines or project scopes, OctaRender supports on-the-fly resource adjustments. You can scale your allocated node count up or down dynamically while your workloads are currently processing, allowing you to add or remove compute power as needed. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/MBJhJcAzeGfYYXf0rf6uI_54shots-so.png) ### Advanced Dependency Support The platform is designed to mirror local workstation capabilities on distributed hardware. It includes native support for advanced Blender configurations, ensuring that add-ons, intricate geometry node setups, and other scene dependencies execute correctly across the network without requiring manual workarounds. ### Distributed Infrastructure Economics Because the underlying OctaSpace network utilizes decentralized infrastructure, nodes are supplied by independent hosting providers located globally. This distributed model creates an open marketplace for compute power, which prevents centralized pricing premiums and ensures competitive, market-driven rates for rendering tasks. [title] Untitled [path] / [title] Quick Start Guide [path] Rendering (OctaRender)/ Getting started with OctaRender is a straightforward process.

Node rented/released - notifies you when one of your nodes is rented or released 4. Session startup failed or was interrupted 5. Node scheduled for maintenance - notifies you when the node owner enables maintenance mode on a node you are currently using. This helps prevent unexpected termination of your tasks on that node 6. GPU settings were modified during the session - to prevent fraud, the system can detect changes to GPU settings such as power limits or core/memory clock values made by the node owner during your active session and notify you of these changes :::hint{type="info"} The Telegram bot is currently in beta mode, so some events may be temporarily unavailable. ::: ## Telegram VPN Using this bot, you have full access to the VPN service provided by the OctaSpace platform. This is useful in cases where access to the marketplace is unavailable due to blocked HTTP traffic (for example, government restrictions), while Telegram remains accessible. To begin click the **Create VPN** button it will show the list of available countries ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/0eYEzHykzbZ2uevJyyFGn_image.png) Next, select one of the available nodes in the desired country, choose the VPN protocol you want to use, and start the session ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/Qmsjoc9S83s2Kxd2Xw1y4_image.png) ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/Rc2KuB3pqDjid5aqjpnfm_image.png) ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/WeiaC_MrjfA20dmZyTvWt_image.png) Once the session is created, you can download the configuration file and set up the VPN tunnel using your VPN client. [title] Features [path] Rendering (OctaRender)/ OctaRender includes a comprehensive suite of features designed to provide flexible, native support for complex artistic workflows. The platform minimizes manual pipeline preparation by handling scene evaluation and dependency packaging automatically. # Core Compatibility ## Blender Versions The platform actively detects and natively supports multiple production versions of Blender: - Blender 4.5 - Blender 5.0 - Blender 5.1 ### Supported Render Engines OctaRender supports production-standard internal deployment for both core Blender rendering engines: **Cycles **and **EEVEE.** ## Blender Feature Integration ### Full Add-on Support The platform natively handles custom add-ons within the network environment, from utility action tools to complex generative systems. The client automatically parses your scene file to detect active add-ons, drivers, custom nodes, and linked libraries, pre-selecting the correct runtime flags before pushing the job to the farm. ### Asset & Dependency handling OctaRender automatically traces and consolidates project assets. It aggregates local resources; including textures, geometry node structures, OpenVDB files, and localized simulation caches. - **Cloud Integrations:** Dependencies hosted on cloud storage networks (such as Dropbox) are automatically identified and fetched during parsing. - **Validation:** All assets are packaged into a unified pipeline upload bundle. If a critical dependency is broken or missing locally, the client throws a warning prior to submission. ### Custom OCIO Color management The system scans your local workspace configuration for OpenColorIO (OCIO) implementations. If custom color spaces, LUTs, or institutional pipelines (such as ACES) are used, the custom configs are automatically bundled and mirrored across all rendering nodes. ### Simulation & Fluid Support Distributed nodes natively support heavy physics baking and simulation caches. For toolsets like FLIP Fluids, the client packages the baked domain caches directly with the job file, ensuring complex simulations compute accurately across independent network segments. ### Multi-layer Full pipeline support for multi-layer EXR output setups. Arbitrary Render Layers and Arbitrary Output Variables (AOVs); such as Ambient Occlusion, Cryptomattes, or Diffuse passes routed via File Output nodes are preserved and compiled as intended. ### Output Formats Frames are rendered in PNG, JPEG or EXR format. ## Other features - Persistence engine increasing rendering speeds across node by 30% - Multi-GPU and dynamic scaling in real-time - Real-time analytics and monitoring - Thumbnail & EXR preview generation - Per-scene / per-view-layer render previews - Single sign-on authentication - Multi-version blender detection and support - Live logging - Fast upload and download via addon and intefrace - 7 Day Render retention And many others. [title] Rendering your first project [path] Rendering (OctaRender)/ Once you've familiarized yourself with the addon and OctaRender platform, you are now ready to render your project.

Amount of reward depends on how much staking nodes already activated, how much blocks mined (may vary due to block time), what hardware installed on node and what services provided by it. In case if no services provided, node will receive only base reward (60%) If block time is always 15 seconds then the following amount of blocks would be mined: - 1 minute - 4 - 1 hour - 240 - 1 day - 5760 - 1 week - 40320 In this calculation we will use reward amount for Arcturus and Oldenburg eras where 1.5 OCTA from each block going to staking fund. The total amount of coins mined for 1 week would be 60480 OCTA. Let’s assume we have 10 nodes up and running, then the 60480 OCTA would be distributed across they in the following proportion: - 60% (base reward) - 36240 OCTA, 3624 for each node - 10% (vpn reward) - 6040 OCTA, 604 for each node which provide VPN service - 10% (rent reward) - 6040 OCTA, 604 for each node which provide renting service - 20% (gpu reward) - 12080 OCTA, 1208 for each node which provide renting service with GPU In case of no nodes for which needs to distribute 40% (except base reward) the coins will be left in staking fund for the next round. Most profitable variant is to have node with GPU and which provides both services. Such node will be rewarded by 6040 OCTA per week and also additional payments for services usage. ## How to configure - Install the node - Configure it by setting up prices, turn on/off VPN service providing, specify ports and so on… - In **CUBE **in **Staking** menu choose your node and specify your wallet address with balance 100\_000 OCTA or more Wallet address must be unique per node, staking rewards will be sent to this address so be sure you have full access to it. ## How it works in a nutshell When node and staking are configured the system will start periodic checks of node availability and monitoring wallet balance. If the system detects that a wallet balance is less than 100\_000 OCTA then staking for this node will be deactivated. Be aware about your node uptime, it’s a very important metric, nodes which have uptimes less than 95% for the last 30 days will not be rewarded. :::hint{type="warning"} If the system detects a balance below 100,000 on an already activated node, the node and wallet pair will be suspended for a 30-day period. ::: [title] Troubleshooting [path] Rendering (OctaRender)/ While OctaRender is an extremely robust platform, each render is unique in its composition and issues may arise.

These can be easily identified on the platform, both on the project timeline as well as the frames grid, where they are highlighted with a red indicator tag ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/gSUeqube4Mf9ayhUjc8M7_image.png) ## Diagnosing Frame Errors 1. **View Error Summaries:** Clicking directly on any errored frame card will update the main viewport to display the high-level error state (e.g., *"blender session ended unexpectedly"*), helping you instantly see which frame failed and on which specific worker host. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/XTkQGIfK-EsF1akwjhZ9s_image.png) 2. **Inspect Detailed Logs:** To diagnose further, click on the **LOGS** toggle tab directly underneath the main viewer canvas. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/PJKFk-Wa2sQnCnVMQ4vOJ_image.png) 3. **Analyze Root Causes:** This action expands the inline **Task Logs** terminal layout at the bottom of the dashboard. Here, you can review the actual execution outputs, memory profiles, and stack traces directly from the remote node container to pinpoint exactly what caused the processing disruption. ### Common causes The most common cause of an errored frame is that the hardware node (or nodes) you have rented lacks sufficient system RAM or VRAM to handle the complexity of your Blender scene. Alternatively, an individual provider node may occasionally experience a localized system fault. If you encounter an error, use the following isolation steps to get your render back on track: **Step 1: Re-queue the Affected Frames** Select the errored frames directly from your grid or timeline and click the global **"Requeue"** action button at the top of the interface. This pushes the tasks back into the network pool. **Step 2: Identify the Problematic Node** If the frames fail a second time, you will need to pinpoint the exact worker instance causing the bottleneck: ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/CFVZpgHOrmHZPI_hxoyki_image.png) 1. Click on the specific frame tile that returned an error. 2. Click the **Frame Info Icon** on your toolbar layout to open the sidebar. 3. This action reveals the **Frame Details** panel, which lists the exact **Node ID** responsible for executing that specific task block. **Step 3: Terminate the Node Session** Once you have copied the faulty Node ID: 1. Navigate away from the project view and head to the **Render Nodes** workspace under **Render** > **Render Nodes**. 2. Locate the matching machine block using the unique Node ID you identified. 3. Click the termination action button on that card to drop the lease and stop your active session with that provider. Our orchestration system will automatically spin down that unit and redirect your outstanding queue items to healthy, capable hardware slots on the network. ## Diagnosing Failed submission Should you experience an issue while trying to pack or submit your project from the addon, you will need to gather your local environment data before contacting support. Prior to raising a support issue, make sure to capture the direct error logs from inside Blender so our team can diagnose the issue quickly. How to Retrieve Blender Console Logs 1. In Blender's top menu bar, navigate to **Window** > **Toggle System Console**. 2. A command-line terminal window will pop open displaying the background processes of the addon. 3. Highlight and copy the complete text output leading up to the submission failure. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/yWtna6pEdjWfoSFBHYsrd_image.png) ## Still experiencing an issue? Reach out to our team directly on [Discord](https://discord.gg/5xVqWMnsRs) or [Telegram. ](https://t.me/octa_space)When posting your request, please provide: - A brief description of what you were doing when the failure occurred. - The verbatim terminal output you copied from your Blender System Console and OctaRender logs. - Your UUID - Any specific error codes or pop-up warning messages displayed by the addon interface. [title] OctaRender Addon [path] Rendering (OctaRender)/ The OctaRender addon is your primary control panel for your project prior to submitting it to the render farm. All specific parameters; from output file formats and asset dependencies to custom add-ons and preview thumbnail configurations, are managed directly from this interface inside Blender. By handling your pipeline settings locally, you ensure that the remote decentralized nodes replicate your exact workstation environment. This section covers the specific components of the addon, their respective settings, and how to configure them for optimal rendering performance. | **Label** | **Section** | **Description** | | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Job Name |

This remote desktop allow you to use any Linux native applications and games like those ones available via Steam as well as some Windows games available via compatibility applications like Proton and Wine. There is preinstalled Steam client, Heroic and Lutris launchers which will help in games installation. You still need to own games to play using remote desktop and have Steam account for Steam access. You can check Octa Games DB [https://games.octa.space/games](https://games.octa.space/games) to find list of games that was tested and will run good on remote Linux desktop. Please note that games that actively using anti-cheat software will not work fine due to detection of virtualization that used to run desktop. There is two apps available for running remote desktop with gaming support: **Octa GLX Desktop** - providing better performance for games because of using native X server and Nvidia driver which ensures that game running on native performance. **Octa EGL Desktop** - providing better compatibility for games because of using virtual X server. Also performance should not be a problem for modern video card. General rule of thumb when choosing between these two images - if the desired game is not working on one desktop type, please try running it using another one. ## General Usage Deploy either "**Octa EGL Desktop**" or "**Octa GLX Desktop**" application as described in Marketplace documentation. You will have HTTP link in session details available for accessing desktop. After opening link you will see connection progress during which desktop remote access opened and configured. When connection will establish you will see desktop screen. There is also half-cirlcle button at the right-border of the screen which provide connection details and access to additional settings. For example, you can set video or audio bitrate for optimal performance. Also you can enable "Resize remote to fit window" to have remote desktop automatically scale to your browser window size. There is a special shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+F" to switch browser window with remote desktop to full screen. After switching to full screen you can press and hold "Esc" key to exit back to windowed mode. Also when gaming in some games that require mouse grab you need to press "Ctrl+Shift+\" for cursor lock in remote desktop. ## Steam details Steam client is preinstalled on remote desktop, you can run it from Application > Games menu (as well as other launchers). You will need to login to Steam using your account.

These platforms share a unified authentication system, allowing for seamless navigation between renting resources and managing your account. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/6xXwsqqkpLDKTACADj_iR-XZPeKv4jTjeQkPYd0oAeV-20250225-175228.png) ## The OctaSpace Marketplace The OctaSpace Marketplaceis a powerful, decentralized platform designed to streamline the deployment and management of applications across a global network of user-hosted nodes. By utilizing optimized application images, the marketplace enables users to select, configure, and launch complex workloads with minimal technical friction. ### Core Marketplace Workflow 1. **Authentication:** Access the Marketplace using your OctaSpace credentials. You can create a new account via email or use Google, Apple, or GitHub for single sign-on. Authentication is shared between the Marketplace and the Cube. 2. **Account Funding:** Use the **"Top-up balance"** button to add OCTA coins to your marketplace balance. A unique wallet address and QR code will be provided. Note that funds in the Marketplace wallet are for service use and cannot be withdrawn. 3. **Browse Applications:** Navigate to the **Apps** dashboard to find pre-configured application images categorized by use case (AI, Rendering, etc.). Hovering over an application card provides additional descriptions. 4. **Node Selection:** Choose target nodes based on real-time filters such as price, location, hardware specs (CPU/GPU), and benchmark scores (Blender/AI). You can toggle between OCTA and USD pricing for easier cost estimation. 5. **Configure and Deploy:** Customize your deployment by overriding default start commands, using custom Docker images, or adjusting allocated disk size. You can also map specific HTTP, TCP, or UDP ports and set environment variables. 6. **Manage Sessions:** Once deployed, the **Sessions** dashboard provides real-time tracking of active applications, including duration, traffic, and per-minute billing. ## The OctaSpace Cube The OctaSpace Cube is the centralized management dashboard for both resource consumers and node providers. ### For Users The Cube acts as your personal command center for account and session oversight: - **Historical Data:** View details and logs for all past sessions. - **Security & Profile:** Update passwords, enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), and manage your SSH public keys for secure node access. - **Provider Communication:** Use the built-in messaging system to communicate directly with node providers for support or specialized coordination. ### For Node Providers Node owners use the Cube to orchestrate their infrastructure and maximize earnings: - **Node Orchestration:** Configure and monitor the health of your provided nodes. - **Idle Job Management:** Set up background tasks to monetize your hardware when it is not being actively rented. - **Earnings Tracking:** View real-time earnings and session history for your hardware. - **User Communication:** Receive and respond to messages from users renting your resources. ## How It Works ### Access the Marketplace Authenticate on the OctaSpace Marketplace [https://marketplace.octa.space/](https://marketplace.octa.space/) using your credentials or create new user using e-mail/password combination. You can also use Google, Apple or GitHub account to authenticate. OctaSpace Marketplace shares authentication with Cube application for node owners. ::Image[]{src="https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/6xXwsqqkpLDKTACADj_iR-PSRfnNmbmCZeIwwUaRCU4-20250225-175941.png" size="50" width="510" height="466" position="center" showCaption="false"} ### Top-up your balance Add Octa coins to your marketplace balance using button "Top-up balance" on the top. Your Octa crypto wallet address will be displayed along with QR code with the same address. Also you can see your current balance near Top-up button. Please note that you can not withdraw Octa from your Marketplace wallet. ::Image[]{src="https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/6xXwsqqkpLDKTACADj_iR-5LLDpHrwkmzUrBLA_eUsT-20250225-181447.png" size="40" width="362" height="464" position="center" showCaption="false"} ### Browse Applications Navigate to the Apps dashboard from the left panel, where you’ll find the list of available application images. Here you can select one application for deployment. Applications divided by categories. Also additional description available for application when mouse hovering over application card. After clicking on application you will be redirected to Compute Rental page which will allow to select one or more nodes for application deployment. ### Node Selection Choose the target nodes where the application will be deployed. Node could be filtered and sorted based on lot's of parameters like price, country, CPU/GPU parameters, memory, disk size, network speed and benchmark scores. View node details such as available resources like CPU, GPU count and details, RAM, disk size and network speed as well as node price. You can use additional switches on the top to switch between hardware details and benchmark scores (Blender/AI). Also you can switch between node pricing using Octa coin or corresponding USD price. After selecting one or more node you will have "Configure" button available. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/6xXwsqqkpLDKTACADj_iR-eMOLDTWmcmQvFVk30PdDj-20250225-181840.png) ### Configure and Deploy For you reference on this page you will see deployment costs, list of selected nodes and selected app for deployment which you chosen on previous steps. You can also change selected app on this page or select new one if it was not selected before (you can start process from node selection, for example). You can customize application settings, such as start command for overriding default image start command, image name if you would like to use custom image instead of one that available in marketplace, allocated disk size for deployment (how much disk will be available for application), exposed HTTP and TCP/UDP ports which will be available for application access, environment variables to customize image. For the applications provided by marketplace this could be left to default. Click the "Deploy" button to initiate the deployment process. After deployment you will be redirected to "Sessions" dashboard providing list of currently active deployment sessions. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/6xXwsqqkpLDKTACADj_iR-MBBK08HLyBJQsj9AF_Mj4-20250225-182230.png) ### Access deployed application On the "Sessions" page you will see all applications that currently deployed on nodes. For each session you will have UUID for troubleshooting, App name, session duration, Status, Id of node running application, incoming and outgoing traffic and amount of charged Octa per session. Charges are updated per minute. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/6xXwsqqkpLDKTACADj_iR-jy_DiI-0FphJ5EaNKfKfO-20250225-183341.png) Sessions can have several statuses, like "Pulling image" when user node pulling corresponding application image from repository, "Configuring HTTP services" when application starting, "Setting SSH" when SSH configured (if applicable), "Downloading models" or "Configuring services" when service needs additional actions during service startup after image download. Status "Service configured" means that application is started, configured and ready for use. By clicking on each session line you will have additional session details where will be links to application interface access via HTTP (if it available for this application), link to Web SSH access in case it's available, "trash" button to stop the session and buttons to view logs and node details near it. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/NKgOdkN3yqnz-3kHmB6yx_image.png) There is list of historical user sessions available on the Cube dashboard [https://cube.octa.computer/dashboard ](https://cube.octa.computer/dashboard)for all sessions that you was running in the past. You can clich on each row to see details about past session. You can also click on the button in "Status" column there to see logs for past session. Each log has tab for application container start and for application running in node container itself, but only last part of application log displayed, if log size exceeds buffer. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/UGbPac6jYIQ0UrIpCpaED_image.png) ### SSH Access ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/_6FKxYWpeG7ngcYWneqYe_image.png) For some compatible images WebSSH access is enabled allowing you to have SSH session to running application container directly from your browser. Also regular SSH access could be available using "ssh" command ot GUI tools like PuTTY. For Web SSH access your console already have tmux running in your session [https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Getting-Started](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Getting-Started) for opening several consoles to running application container if needed. E.g. you can use "Ctrl+b c" to create new console window and "Ctrl+b n", "Ctrl+b p" and "Ctrl+b \" to switch between console windows. Here is a list of a few basic tmux commands: Ctrl+b " — split pane horizontally. Ctrl+b % — split pane vertically. Ctrl+b arrow key — switch pane. Hold Ctrl+b, don’t release it and hold one of the arrow keys — resize pane. Ctrl+b c — (c)reate a new window. Ctrl+b n — move to the (n)ext window. Ctrl+b p — move to the (p)revious window. You can use command "trz /path" to upload files to running application using WebSSH and command "tsz /path/to/file" to download files in this console. For example, if you want to upload some file to your running node session in WebSSH, enter command "trz /path/to/upload" and you will see dialog window to choose wich file to upload from your local system. If path is not specified (command is just "trz"), it will upload to current directory. If you want to download file from your running node session in WebSSH, e.g. "file.ext", enter command "tsz /path/to/file/file.ext" and you will see dialog window to choose where you want to save this file on local system. Or you can just enter "tsz file.ext" if file already in current directory. Please see for the details [https://trzsz.github.io/ ](https://trzsz.github.io/)(R and S in this commands can suggest direction of file transfer, looking from remote node side, tRz - receive file to node session from your local computer, tSz - send file from node session to your local computer). Regular SSH connection available for container using any SSH client. E.g. you can use OpenSSH connection string like "ssh root\@px-uk-1.octa.computer -p 30053" assuming that your SSH key is in default location. If node provides external IP address, then there is two ssh connection strings provided in node details direct and proxy (via proxy server if no external IP for node). To use regular SSH access with "ssh" command you should add your SSH Public Key on "Settings" tab of Cube Profile [https://cube.octa.computer/profile ](https://cube.octa.computer/profile)Also there is possibility to update password, set 2FA for account as well as other settings.

Additionally, users are responsible for a transaction fee of 0.00021 OCTA, applied during the transfer of both the platform fee and the node provider payment. ## Charging scheme Balances are updated approximately once every minute. The charging model varies depending on the selected service. :::hint{type="info"} Charges commence only after the session has been fully configured. The image pull and configuration phases are not billable. ::: :::hint{type="info"} Payouts are processed by the system once a session has been completed. ::: :::hint{type="warning"} If your balance becomes negative, all active sessions will be terminated automatically. ::: ### Rental Service Charges are calculated based on three parameters: - Base Rate – Hourly rate for the rented machine - Storage – Hourly rate per GB of allocated disk space - Traffic – Rate per GB of network traffic used Example Calculation: If the base rate is 0.10 OCTA/hour, storage is 0.005 OCTA/GB/hour, and traffic is 0.01 OCTA/GB, then for a session with the following usage: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes (1.5 hours) - Disk Size: 100 GB - Traffic Used: 100 GB The cost would be calculated as: :::BlockQuote 0.10 × 1.5 + 0.005 × 100 × 1.5 + 0.01 × 100 = 1.9 OCTA ::: ### Render Service A flat-rate model is used. Only the base hourly rate is charged. Disk space and traffic usage are **not included** in the pricing. ### VPN Service Charges are based **solely on traffic usage**, calculated per GB.

The system checks for new tasks every two seconds. If the farm reports that no tasks are available, either because the project is fully rendered or because you have paused the job, the nodes will automatically initiate a shutdown sequence. :::hint{type="danger"} **Important Note on Pausing: **If you pause a project, the farm immediately stops handing out new tasks. However, if a node is already in the middle of rendering a frame, it will finish that frame completely before shutting down to prevent data loss. On slower GPUs or highly complex scenes, a node may stay online for a short period after you hit pause until its active frame is finalized. ::: ### Q: Can I manually force a node to stop immediately without waiting for a frame to finish? **A:** Yes. If a node is stuck or you need to instantly terminate a lease without waiting for the active frame to finish, you can go to the [Monitoring page](docId\:HUFuYYPkY3-_m4tLEX1Vj) monitoring page and click the **✕ (Stop Node)** button on that specific node card. ### Q: What happens if a node I rented goes offline or crashes mid-render? **A:** You only pay for successful compute time. If a decentralized provider node experiences a hardware failure, drops offline, or runs out of system memory during a task, your billing for that specific instance stops immediately. The uncompleted frame task is automatically thrown back into your project queue and re-distributed to your other active nodes so your render can continue without interruption. ### Q: Does the platform support custom third-party Blender addons or extensions? **A:** Yes, your custom plugins are handled during the packing phase. When you configure your scene parameters within the Blender addon, ensure that you check the settings to include necessary local addon configurations before hitting **"Submit Job."** The packaging tool wraps your dependencies, texturing paths, VDB simulation volumes, and scripting assets into your secure project archive so the remote compute containers have everything they need to execute identical renders. ### Q: What happens if my project runs out of VRAM or system RAM on a rented node? **A:** If a scene file is too heavy for the machine you selected, the render task will fail with an out-of-memory error. To prevent this, always cross-reference your scene's complexity before renting nodes. You can use the top search and sidebar filter sliders on the [Launch Nodes](docId:37oq-ijJcnlxZSqYondqg) page to isolate high-tier graphics chips (like the *RTX 5090* or *RTX 4090*) or to filter strictly for hosts with substantial system RAM and VRAM capacities. ### Q: Can I download completed frames while the rest of the project is still rendering? **A:** Yes. If you need to check frame composition or quality early on, you can access the web-portal's [Project Viewer](docId\:BJUdvePzEONI9SKGq8vnq) panel while the job is active. This layout displays your rendered sequence files in real time as they stream to your secure cloud bucket. You can use individual checkboxes to manually select and download specific completed frames immediately without interrupting the remaining active node cluster. ### Q: How long are projects stored for and can be downloaded? **A:** We store projects for a maximum of **7 days**. After 7 days, the project files and all associated rendered frames will be permanently deleted from our servers to free up storage space. Please make sure to download your completed frames via the Blender addon or the Project Viewer interface before this 7-day window expires. ### Q: Does the OctaRender platform provide privacy for my renders? Can anyone else access my Blender or render files? **A: Your files are completely secure, private, and accessible only by you.** We are a high-performance cloud infrastructure provider, not an art-harvesting service. Your files, assets, and intellectual property belong strictly to you. We protect your data using several layers of platform isolation, encryption, and legal safeguards: - **Private Key Encryption:** When your project files are transferred to the platform, they are securely linked only to your private farm slot. Access is secured via a unique private key, ensuring that nobody else can access your source files or rendered output. - **Instant Destruction Data Policy:** The moment your render job ends or is stopped, the compute container is completely destroyed. Your source files are instantly wiped from the node machine and are not stored permanently anywhere on the network providers' hardware. - **Direct-to-Cloud Output Storage:** Your final rendered frames are never saved to the worker node's local storage disks. Instead, they are immediately streamed and uploaded directly to your private storage dashboard. - **Strict Provider Compliance:** Every decentralized node provider on our network is bound by strict terms and conditions that legally enforce total data privacy and non-disclosure. - **A Trusted Industry Track Record:** We serve a large community of professional 3D artists, studio teams, and prominent content creators. We have engineered our rendering workflow with these rigorous safeguards because we take our reputation and your privacy extremely seriously. ### Q: How do I contact the team if I have more questions? **A:** You can reach out to the team directly through either of our community and support channels: - **Discord:** Join our dedicated [OctaRender Discord Server](https://discord.gg/5xVqWMnsRs) for real-time support, technical troubleshooting, and community discussions. - **Telegram:** Connect with us via our [Official Telegram Channel](https://t.me/octa_space) for announcements and quick assistance.

Your bot will give you a "Paring code". ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/Il1trt6CAf2ZBcZAZBVHV_image.png) In terminal then type the following command, replace \ with your actual code you were given inside telegram by your bot. ```bash openclaw pairing approve telegram ``` Done, you can now fully interact with OpenClaw instance using your bot. [title] Installation [path] Hosting/ # Overview This guide is intended to provide detailed instructions on the process of setting up nodes in the new OctaSpace Cube system. # Pre-requisites ## Hardware OctaSpace nodes can range from a Raspberry Pi to CPU-only nodes to multi-GPU machines, each of which can be used for different types of services. Please check the minimum [hardware requirements](docId\:Xmpm0EubOeMnh0J_G4eHz) based on the service you wish to provide. ## Operating system OctaSpace node software runs on Linux distributions and supports both x86 and ARM64 architectures. You can find the list of supported OS under [software requirements](docId\:Xmpm0EubOeMnh0J_G4eHz). Before proceeding further, please ensure that you have set up one of the supported operating systems. ### HiveOS In cases where NVIDIA GPUs are used, you must ensure that driver version 550 or newest is installed. It is crucial that the NVIDIA driver and the **libnvidia-gl **or** libnvidia-gl-server** packages have the same minor version. For example, if the driver version is 550.127.05, the libnvidia-gl-550 package must also have the same version. To check this run the following command: ```bash apt show libnvidia-gl-550 ``` In some cases docker may not start correctly due to IPv6 disable. To enable IPv6 edit /etc/default/grub file and remove** ipv6.disable=1 **in GRUB\_CMDLINE\_LINUX\_DEFAULT option. After run **update-grub **command and restart machine. ## Service Ports and Firewall Configuration Service ports are primarily used for facilitating the VPN service and providing direct access to services via a web interface that runs on nodes. In cases where service ports are not configured, all traffic between the node and the end user is, by default, directed through dedicated proxy servers located in the geographical regions closest to the node location. :::hint{type="info"} Configuration of service ports is an **optional **process ***ONLY IF NOT*** providing a **VPN **service. ::: :::hint{type="success"} Configuring service ports offers benefits such as improved network speeds between the node and the end user, and provides more direct access to the node, resulting in enhanced service quality. ::: If you do not intend to support VPN or prefer that services be routed through a proxy, you may proceed directly to the installation step. ### Configuration For service ports to function, a node must have a static public IP address. Depending on your network configuration, if the node is behind a NAT, you will need to configure port forwarding for a range of service ports on the router. Additionally, if the server has a firewall with a DROP policy for all incoming traffic, you will need to allow traffic to the service ports. By default, the service port range is 51800–51816. Ensure that these ports are forwarded or opened for both TCP and UDP protocols. # Installation and configuration :::hint{type="warning"} All commands must be run under **root** user ::: ## GPU drivers ### AMD [Linux® Drivers for AMD Radeon™ Graphics](https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/linux-drivers.html) [Quick start installation guide](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/install/quick-start.html) ### NVIDIA ```shell apt install -y nvidia-driver-590 ``` ## Storage configuration :::hint{type="danger"} You can skip storage configuration if you don't require any special settings. The installation script will automatically allocate 80% of the free disk space on the root filesystem for Docker data. If you prefer to configure storage manually, you can disable the automatic setup by setting the SKIP\_FS\_CONFIG variable: `export SKIP_FS_CONFIG=1` ::: Every service node need to have disk storage configured. The storage requirements can vary depending on the services that are run on the node, therefore it's important to ensure ample storage is configured. Storage size depends on services provided by node, please consult [hardware requirements](docId\:Xmpm0EubOeMnh0J_G4eHz). :::hint{type="success"} The disk space will be used for various purposes including, docker images, container data as well as support OctaStorage service. Providing ample storage will ensure improved support of services. ::: Storage partition should be formatted in **XFS **filesystem and mounted on **/var/lib/docker **directory. Depending on the machine configuration, the number of physical disks, and the presence of a RAID controller, there are multiple ways to configure storage for a service node. Below, we outline several common examples. Prior to proceeding further, ensure you have installed **xfsprogs** package: ```shell apt install -y xfsprogs ``` ### File based partition through loop device This method is useful for when a node does not have non allocated disk partitions. We will create file on existing filesystem and mount as partition. In this example we assume that root filesystem (/) has enough free disk space and will use it to store our file based partition. - Create a 500Gb file that will be used for storage. If you have more spare disk space, set the amount as much as possible. ```shell fallocate -l 500G /docker-data.img ``` - Format it in XFS filesystem ```shell mkfs -t xfs /docker-data.img ``` - Mount and make it mounted on system start ```shell echo "/docker-data.img /var/lib/docker xfs defaults,quota,prjquota,pquota,gquota 0 0" >> /etc/fstab mkdir /var/lib/docker; mount /var/lib/docker ``` # Install service node software Install distribution: ```shell curl https://install.octa.space | bash ``` At the end of the installation, you will be given a unique node token. Use this token to register new node on [https://cube.octa.computer](https://cube.octa.computer) Go to Hosting->Nodes and click Add Node ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/hC1fKSJyMGA3sAhAkxOZG_image.png) To make node available on marketplace it is necessary to specify **Reward Address** in profile settings. This address used to receive rewards when node is rented. ## Access to Node Dashboard Dashboard is available on port 18888. # Update service node software - Stop node service ```shell systemctl stop osn ``` - Update ```shell curl https://install.octa.space | bash ``` # Uninstall service node software - Stop and uninstall node service: ```shell systemctl stop osn systemctl disable osn rm -f /etc/systemd/system/osn.service ``` - Remove user and data ```shell userdel -r octa ``` ### [title] Wallets [path] Cryptocurrency/ ## RPC and Chain settings ​[https://chainlist.org/chain/800001](https://chainlist.org/chain/800001)​ ## Hardware Wallets ### Tangem ### Trezor ### Ledger (MetaMask) ### OneKey Software Wallets ---------------- ### MetaMask To configure MetaMask to connect to the OctaSpace network it’s necessary to add new network: - Click the button with current network and press button **Add Network** ![](https://468925128-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlKDflH6PjjYK4P5cu5on%2Fuploads%2FvyUQ5z5h82BrVCa2oJ9G%2Fmetamask1.png?alt=media\&token=9ab67375-b968-496b-9521-d9a28cdc8c10) - Fill the fields as following: ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/zPZI56SowsTC_5C4tuB04_image.png) - Network Name: OctaSpace - ChainId: 800001 - Block Explorer URL: [https://scan.octa.space](https://explorer.octa.space/) - New RPC URL: [https://rpc.octa.space](https://rpc.octa.space/) - Currency Symbol: OCTA ### OneKey Wallet Press the icon with current network ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/TqI5JfO0bZNGVBi6c0m90_image.png) Press '+' button and then 'Add EVM chain': ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/jaxCG8xgtC81xbXoNEIHd_image.png) Fill the form as following: - Chain Name: OctaSpace - RPC URL: [https://rpc.octa.space](https://rpc.octa.space) - Chain ID: 800001 - Symbol: OCTA - Blockchain Explorer URL: [https://explorer.octa.space](https://explorer.octa.space/tx/) - Done ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/y0TFpVa_Lf99-DmCHMPMi_image.png) ### AlphaWallet Go to ***Settings***, in ***System*** menu click on ***Select Active Networks*** and then press the **+** button on the right top corner.

[title] OpenClaw (Ollama) [path] Marketplace/AI Tools/OpenClaw/ The **OpenClaw Ollama** flavor is our privacy-first, "all-in-one" deployment. Unlike the Vanilla version that relies on external cloud providers, this version runs entirely on your OctaSpace instance. It features a built-in AI model that handles all reasoning, file operations, and task execution without ever sending your data to a third-party API. ### Powering the Agent: GLM-4.7-Flash For this version, we have integrated **GLM-4.7-Flash** as the core intelligence engine. We chose this model specifically for its balance of speed and "agentic" capabilities. While many smaller models struggle to follow complex instructions, GLM-4.7-Flash excels at **tool calling **the process where the AI decides to actually click a button, run a script, or search a file rather than just talking about it. ### Why choose this version? - **Total Data Sovereignty:** Since the model is hosted locally via Ollama, your messages, code, and sensitive documents never leave your environment. - **Zero Hidden Costs:** You don't need to sign up for Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google Cloud APIs. There are no per-token fees or monthly AI subscriptions. - **High Performance:** GLM-4.7-Flash is optimized for low-latency responses, making your autonomous agents feel snappy and responsive even during complex workflows. - **Minimal Configuration:** This setup is ready to begin tasks out of the box with very little manual intervention required. ### Instructions **OpenClaw Ollama **can be found in the marketplace ([https://marketplace.octa.space/](https://marketplace.octa.space/)) under the section Artificial Intelligence. ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bdsKzi0GSJqADE8y4GkJt/dNYdh-aEKsDRZldlwqWtN_image.png) When on that page, click the app **OpenClaw Ollama** and you will be redirected to the node selection page. :::hint{type="info"} **OpenClaw Ollama **requires a node with **minimum 24GB VRAM** available and 100GB of disk space.

The nodes are connected to the OctaSpace network, which enables them to seamlessly work together to deliver optimal performance and efficiency. ## Software requirements The following OS and system architectures are supported: | **OS** | **x86\_64** | **aarch64** | | ------------ | ----------- | ----------- | | Ubuntu 22.04 | ✅ | - | | Ubuntu 24.04 | ✅ | ✅ | | WSL | ✅ | - | | HiveOS | ✅ | - | ***Preferred Operation System is Ubuntu 24.04 Server*** ## Hardware requirements ### VPN Minimal system requirements for VPN nodes - 1 CPU - 1 Gb RAM - 10 Gb free disk space - Static IPv4 address ### Compute Preferred system requirements for Compute nodes - 8 CPU cores - 32 Gb RAM - 500 Gb free disk space - GPU NVIDIA RTX 30 Series ### Rendering :::hint{type="info"} Rendering is an intensive process which utilizes not just GPU's but **all system resources **in the processing and rendering frames. ::: If you wish your node to support rendering services there are more specific requirements you need to pay attention to. **RAM requirements** Depending on the VRAM and number of GPU's, you will need to ensure you scale your RAM accordingly. ***The rule is:*** **VRAM x GPU’s x 2 for RAM** For example a node with 2 x RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM) would require minimum of 96GB RAM (24 x 2 x 2). **CPU requirements** The CPU plays a critical role in pre-processing of the render and compiling shaders as well as managing the workloads between the GPU's and therefore needs to have sufficient cores to support and scale with the GPU's. The optimal CPU should have 8 cores per GPU. :::hint{type="warning"} Lower core CPU's are still supported, however will reduce the efficiency of the rendering process. ::: [title] Blockchain [path] Cryptocurrency/ # Node Installation ## Download OctaSpace client ```shell https://github.com/octaspace/go-octa/releases/download/v2.0.0/geth-linux-amd64 ``` As alternative it is possible to run node as docker container.

By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, connecting a wallet, installing or running OctaSpace software, or otherwise participating in the network, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services. # 1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern access to and use of the website, applications, node software, dashboards, and services operated by OctaSpace ("OctaSpace," "we," "us," or "our"), including the OctaSpace compute marketplace, the decentralized VPN, the OctaRender distributed rendering platform, the Marketplace dashboard, and any related software, APIs, or documentation (collectively, the "Services"). The Services connect two categories of participants in a peer to peer network: individuals and organizations who make computing hardware available for rental, VPN exit routing, and/or distributed rendering ("Node Providers"), and individuals and organizations who rent that hardware, route traffic through it, or submit rendering jobs to it ("Users"). A single account may act as both a Node Provider and a User at different times. "You" refers to either, depending on context, and where a provision applies only to one role, it is labeled accordingly. By creating an account, downloading or installing OctaSpace node software, connecting a wallet, or otherwise accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any service specific guides or policies referenced in these Terms (together, the "Agreement"). If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity, in which case "you" and "your" refer to that entity. OctaSpace operates as a decentralized network with no single centralized owner of the underlying hardware. Certain functions of the Services, such as the website, node software, matching engine, billing systems, and dispute handling, are developed, operated, or coordinated by OctaSpace or parties acting on its behalf. References in this Agreement to "OctaSpace" mean the operators of those functions from time to time. # 2. Definitions **"Node"** means a physical or virtual machine made available to the OctaSpace network by a Node Provider through OctaSpace node software. **"Node Software"** means the client software published by OctaSpace that Node Providers install to connect their hardware to the network, accept Sessions, run Idle Jobs, and receive payment. **"Session"** means a discrete period during which a User rents, controls, or otherwise makes active use of a Node or a set of Nodes, whether for compute rental, VPN routing, or rendering. **"Idle Jobs"** means the optional facility described in Section 5.5 through which a Node Provider may run background workloads on a Node while it is not otherwise rented, and which is automatically paused and resumed around rental Sessions. **"Reliability Score"** means the platform calculated rating assigned to each Node reflecting its historical uptime, stability, and adherence to this Agreement, as described in Section 5.4. **"Docker Image"** means a containerized application template, whether published in the OctaSpace catalogue or sourced by a User from a third party registry such as Docker Hub, that is deployed onto a Node during a Session. **"Virtual Machine"** means a full virtual machine, including where supported a virtual machine with GPU passthrough, made available on a Node in place of or alongside container based workloads. **"USDC"** means the USD Coin stablecoin, used as described in Section 5.3 to pay Node Providers via the Base network. **"Marketplace"** means the unified dashboard and marketplace interface through which Users and Node Providers manage credentials, billing, active Sessions, node configuration, and service selection across the compute, VPN, and rendering products. References in OctaSpace documentation to the "Cube" refer to the same interface as the Marketplace. **"Content"** means any data, files, code, Docker Images, Virtual Machine images, models, or other material uploaded, transmitted, processed, or generated by a User in connection with a Session. # 3. Description of the OctaSpace Platform OctaSpace operates a decentralized physical infrastructure network ("DePIN") that aggregates independently owned hardware into a unified marketplace. OctaSpace does not itself own or operate the majority of the underlying hardware. It provides the software, matching, billing, and account infrastructure that connects Node Providers and Users. OctaSpace is a facilitator of these transactions and, except where expressly stated, is not a party to the rental, VPN, or rendering relationship between a Node Provider and a User. ## 3.1 Compute Marketplace The marketplace allows Users to browse available Nodes and rent them by the session. Users may launch a ready made Docker Image from the OctaSpace catalogue or bring their own image from a third party registry such as Docker Hub. Certain Nodes also support full Virtual Machines, including GPU passthrough, for workloads requiring deeper isolation or full operating system access. The network spans multiple hardware architectures, including NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel devices. Node Providers set their own pricing, expressed as a base price per hour, a storage price per GB, and a traffic price per GB. ## 3.2 Decentralized VPN Participating Nodes may act as VPN exit points, allowing Users to route traffic through geographically distributed hardware using one or more supported protocols. VPN service is billed on a pay per GB basis with no monthly subscription, as described in the applicable pricing page, and is subject to the acceptable use restrictions in Section 7. ## 3.3 OctaRender (Distributed Rendering) OctaRender allows a User to rent multiple Nodes simultaneously and distribute a single rendering job across them to reduce wall clock render time. Node Providers who opt in to rendering make their hardware available to be allocated, alongside other Nodes, to a User's render job for its duration. OctaRender includes supporting tools such as scene diagnostics and live render monitoring, which are provided on an "as is" basis and are not a guarantee of render outcome or accuracy. ## 3.4 AI Tools and Remote Desktop Where offered, the Services may allow Users to deploy AI agents or models on rented capacity, or to access a rented Node through a remote desktop or streaming interface for general computing or gaming use. These features are subject to the same acceptable use, Content, and security obligations that apply to other Sessions under this Agreement. ## 3.5 The Marketplace Dashboard The Marketplace is the account dashboard through which Users and Node Providers manage credentials, billing, active Sessions, node configuration, and service selection across the marketplace, VPN, and rendering products. # 4. Eligibility and Accounts You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, and capable of forming a binding contract, to use the Services. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to create an account or otherwise use the Services under any circumstances. You agree to provide accurate and current information when creating an account and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and any wallet connected to your account, and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must promptly notify OctaSpace of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. OctaSpace is not obligated to retain a record of your account, Content, or configuration data beyond what is necessary to operate the Services and comply with applicable law. OctaSpace may decline to open, or may suspend, an account where required to comply with law, including applicable sanctions and anti money laundering requirements, or where OctaSpace reasonably suspects fraud or a violation of this Agreement. # 5. Node Provider Terms This Section 5 applies to you whenever you make hardware available to the network as a Node Provider, in addition to the general terms elsewhere in this Agreement. ## 5.1 Onboarding and Benchmarking When you connect a Node, OctaSpace runs an automated benchmark to score the hardware across CPU, GPU, network throughput, and AI performance, among other parameters. This score is used to inform how your Node is presented in the marketplace and matched to Users. You represent that all hardware specifications, benchmark conditions, and configuration information you provide, or that your Node reports, are accurate and are not manipulated, spoofed, virtualized to misrepresent capability, or otherwise falsified. Submitting simulated, spoofed, or otherwise misrepresented hardware specifications is a material breach of this Agreement. ## 5.2 Selection of Services You may choose which of the following services your Node participates in, in any combination: (a) rental through the compute marketplace, (b) VPN exit routing, and (c) rendering. You may change your selection at any time through the Marketplace, though changes will not interrupt a Session already in progress. ## 5.3 Payment to Node Providers Node Providers are paid in USDC on the Base network. Payment for a Session is settled upon completion of that Session, meaning when the User terminates it or it otherwise ends in accordance with the applicable pricing and billing rules. OctaSpace deducts a platform fee of twenty percent (20%) from Session proceeds. You are responsible for providing a valid, compatible wallet address to receive payment and for any taxes arising from amounts you receive. ## 5.4 Reliability Score Each Node is assigned a Reliability Score that increases over time as the Node remains online and stable, and decreases when the Node goes offline, becomes unstable, or is found to violate this Agreement. Reliability Score influences your Node's visibility and ranking in the marketplace. You are solely responsible for maintaining the uptime, connectivity, and stability of your Node in order to preserve service quality for Users and your own Reliability Score. OctaSpace is not responsible for lost earnings resulting from downtime, instability, or a resulting drop in Reliability Score. ## 5.5 Idle Jobs When a Node is not actively rented, you may opt to run Idle Jobs, OctaSpace's supplied facility for utilizing idle capacity. Idle Jobs are automatically paused when a rental Session begins on that Node and automatically resumed once the Session ends, so that Users receive the full performance of the hardware they are paying for. You must not run any workload of your own, or any third party workload, on a Node that is listed for rental other than through the Idle Jobs facility. Running background mining, computation, or any other process outside of Idle Jobs on a Node available for rental, in a manner that consumes CPU, GPU, memory, storage, or network resources a User is paying for, is a material breach of this Agreement, regardless of whether a Session is currently active. ## 5.6 Prohibited Node Provider Conduct In addition to the obligations above, when providing a Node to the network you must not: - Simultaneously run other decentralized compute, rendering, or VPN node or provider software on the same hardware in a way that allows that hardware to be rented, VPN routed, or allocated to jobs by more than one platform at the same time as OctaSpace; - Falsify, spoof, or misrepresent hardware specifications, benchmark results, location, or capability; - Access, copy, monitor, intercept, or attempt to access any Content, data, communications, or activity of a User during a rental, VPN, or rendering Session, or otherwise interfere with the isolation and privacy of a Session; - Interrupt, throttle, or degrade a Session other than through legitimate application of the Idle Jobs pause and resume mechanism or a genuine hardware or network fault outside your control; - Use the platform to facilitate, launder, or disguise any illegal activity; or - Engage in any other activity that materially affects the experience, security, or privacy of Users or the integrity of the network. OctaSpace may monitor Node telemetry and marketplace activity for compliance with this Section, but is under no obligation to do so and does not guarantee that every instance of prohibited conduct will be detected. ## 5.7 Privacy Obligations of Node Providers You acknowledge that Users running Docker Images, Virtual Machines, VPN traffic, or render jobs on your Node may process confidential or personal data. You must respect the privacy of that activity, must not attempt to view, extract, log, or exfiltrate User Content or traffic, and must not use your position as a Node Provider to gain unauthorized access to User systems, credentials, or data. This obligation survives the completion of any Session and continues to apply to residual data on your hardware. ## 5.8 Suspension and Termination of Nodes OctaSpace may suspend or permanently ban a Node, and may withhold or reverse associated payouts to the extent permitted by law and reasonably necessary to remediate harm or fraud, where OctaSpace determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the Node Provider has violated this Agreement, including the obligations in Sections 5.1, 5.5, 5.6, or 5.7. Where practicable, OctaSpace will notify you of the reason for suspension or ban and provide a means to contest the decision, except where doing so would compromise an investigation, security, or the safety of Users. # 6. End User Terms This Section 6 applies to you whenever you rent a Node, route traffic through the VPN, or submit a rendering job, in addition to the general terms elsewhere in this Agreement. ## 6.1 Renting Compute, Docker Images, and Virtual Machines You may launch a Docker Image from the OctaSpace catalogue or from a third party registry such as Docker Hub, or a full Virtual Machine where supported, onto a rented Node. You are solely responsible for the Content and workloads you run, for ensuring you have all necessary rights to any image, model, dataset, or software you deploy, and for configuring reasonable security around anything you deploy. Because the underlying hardware is provided by independent Node Providers rather than OctaSpace, you should avoid storing highly sensitive data on a rented Node beyond the duration of your Session and should follow the security practices described in our documentation. Node Providers are contractually prohibited from accessing your Content or activity during a Session (Section 5.7). However, you acknowledge that OctaSpace's control over independently owned hardware is inherently different from that of a fully centralized cloud provider, and you accept the risk profile described in Section 13 in exchange for the benefits of the decentralized marketplace. ## 6.2 Use of the Decentralized VPN When you use the VPN service, you route internet traffic through independently operated Nodes configured as VPN exit points by Node Providers. You must comply with Section 7 (Acceptable Use) at all times. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the VPN complies with the laws of your jurisdiction and the jurisdiction in which the exit Node is located. You acknowledge that OctaSpace does not own, operate, or control the exit Nodes, and cannot guarantee the privacy, security, logging practices, or performance of any specific exit Node. Node Providers are contractually prohibited from intercepting or logging VPN traffic under Section 5.9, but you accept the inherent risks of routing traffic through decentralized, independently operated hardware. ## 6.3 Use of OctaRender Where you submit rendering jobs, you retain all right, title, and interest in the scene files, assets, and rendered output you submit, subject to the limited license in Section 9 needed for OctaSpace and the allocated Nodes to perform the rendering service. You are responsible for ensuring you have the necessary rights to any assets included in a render job. ## 6.4 Use of AI Tools and Remote Desktop Where you deploy an AI agent or model, or use a remote desktop or gaming interface on a rented Node, you remain solely responsible for the Content processed, the configuration and security of that Content, and for ensuring your use complies with Section 7 and any third party terms applicable to the software or models you deploy. ## 6.5 Marketplace Wallet Deposits Users must deposit funds into their marketplace wallet in USDC on the Base network prior to initiating Sessions. All deposits are final and non-refundable. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any deposit is made in the correct currency (USDC) and on the correct network (Base). Deposits made in any other currency (including but not limited to ETH, USDT, or USDC on any network other than Base) are not supported, cannot be processed into your marketplace wallet, and cannot be retrieved by OctaSpace. OctaSpace does not charge fees on deposits. ## 6.6 Payment by Users and Refunds You agree to pay all fees associated with the Sessions you initiate, calculated according to the Node Provider's published pricing (base price per hour, storage per GB, and traffic per GB) plus the OctaSpace platform fee of twenty percent (20%), as shown to you before or at the start of a Session. Funds are drawn from your marketplace wallet balance. All fees and deposits are non-refundable. OctaSpace reserves the right to correct any pricing or billing errors, even where payment has already been requested or received. # 7. Acceptable Use Policy This Section applies to all Users and Node Providers. You must not use the Services, and must not permit the Services to be used, to: - Violate any applicable law or regulation, or facilitate the violation of law by another party; - Access, transmit, store, or distribute content that is illegal, including but not limited to child sexual abuse material, content that infringes third party intellectual property, or content that facilitates fraud, hacking, or unauthorized access to systems; - Use rented capacity to run workloads on behalf of a competing decentralized compute, VPN, or rendering network; - Launch attacks against third party systems, including denial of service attacks, unauthorized penetration testing, malware distribution, or credential stuffing; - Circumvent, disable, decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise interfere with security features, benchmarking, billing, or Reliability Score mechanisms of the Services; - Systematically scrape, harvest, or extract data from the Services, or use automated means to create accounts, without OctaSpace's prior written permission; - Use the Services to develop, train, or improve a competing decentralized compute, VPN, or rendering product; - Use the VPN service to route traffic for illegal purposes, to evade law enforcement, or to access content or services in violation of the terms of the destination service or applicable law; - Send unsolicited bulk messages, spam, or engage in phishing, or impersonate any person or entity; or - Put OctaSpace, Node Providers, or other Users in legal, regulatory, or reputational jeopardy through the use of the Services. ## 7.1 Monitoring and Detection OctaSpace does not continuously monitor or log the content of what Users run on rented Nodes, the destinations of VPN traffic, or the substance of a Session, and does not have real time visibility into activity across the network. Given the decentralized nature of the Services and the fact that Nodes are operated by independent Node Providers, it is not practical for OctaSpace to review or pre-approve activity as it happens. As a result, OctaSpace's ability to identify a violation of this Agreement is typically limited to what is reported to us or discovered after the fact, including through reports from Node Providers, other Users, third parties, payment or infrastructure partners, or law enforcement and regulatory authorities. ## 7.2 Enforcement and Account Suspension Because it is not possible to anticipate every way in which the Services could be misused, OctaSpace retains broad discretion to investigate, restrict, suspend, or terminate any account, Session, or Node, remove Content, and withhold or reverse associated payouts to the extent permitted by law, where OctaSpace reasonably believes, based on the information available to it at the time, including the reports described in Section 7.1, that a User or Node Provider has violated this Agreement, attempted to exploit or abuse the Services, used a Node or the VPN for an unlawful or harmful purpose, or otherwise put OctaSpace, Node Providers, or other Users at risk. These determinations are made on a case by case basis using the information reasonably available to OctaSpace, and OctaSpace is not required to complete an exhaustive investigation before acting, particularly where prompt action is needed to prevent harm or comply with a legal request. OctaSpace will cooperate with law enforcement and regulatory authorities in connection with lawful requests, investigations, or reports of suspected criminal or otherwise unlawful use of the Services, and may disclose account, Session, or Node information as required by law or in response to valid legal process. Where practicable and legally permitted, OctaSpace will notify an affected User or Node Provider of an enforcement action and its general basis, but may withhold that notice, or act without prior notice, where doing so would compromise an investigation, safety, or security. As between OctaSpace and a User or Node Provider, you remain solely responsible for your own conduct, Content, and workloads on the Services. OctaSpace does not review or endorse activity that takes place within a Session and does not act as a guarantor of any User's or Node Provider's behavior. As between Users and Node Providers, OctaSpace is under no general obligation to become involved in a dispute between them, other than through the enforcement mechanisms described in this Agreement, and OctaSpace's decision not to act in a given instance does not waive its rights under this Agreement. # 8. Export Control and Sanctions Compliance You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in any country or region subject to comprehensive trade sanctions, and that you are not identified on any restricted party or denied persons list maintained by the United Nations, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or any other jurisdiction with authority over your use of the Services. You agree not to use the Services to export, re-export, or provide access to controlled technology, or to any end use restricted under applicable export control or sanctions law, without first obtaining any required government authorization. OctaSpace may suspend or terminate access to the Services immediately, and without prior notice, where it reasonably believes a transaction or account violates this Section. # 9. Intellectual Property OctaSpace and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the Services, including the node software, dashboard, marketplace, the OctaRender platform, and all associated trademarks and branding. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, OctaSpace grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for their intended purpose. As between OctaSpace and a User, the User retains ownership of Content they upload or generate through the Services. The User grants OctaSpace and the allocated Node or Nodes a limited license to host, process, transmit, and display that Content solely as necessary to provide the requested Session. As between OctaSpace and a Node Provider, the Node Provider retains ownership of their hardware and grants OctaSpace a limited license to schedule, meter, and bill Sessions on that hardware in accordance with this Agreement. If you send OctaSpace feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Services, you agree that OctaSpace may use that feedback for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you. If you believe content accessible through the Services infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please contact us at hello\@octa.space with a description of the work claimed to be infringed, the material you believe is infringing and its location within the Services, your contact details, and a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized. OctaSpace may remove or disable access to material in response to a credible notice and may suspend the accounts of repeat infringers. # 10. Third Party Content and Services The Services allow you to access or deploy Docker Images, models, datasets, and other material sourced from third party registries and platforms, such as Docker Hub, and may link to third party websites or services. OctaSpace does not review, endorse, or take responsibility for third party Content, images, or services, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms. If you leave the Services to use a third party website or service, this Agreement no longer governs that use. # 11. Privacy and Data Our collection and use of personal data in connection with the Services is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. By using the Services, you consent to the practices described there. Node Providers acknowledge that OctaSpace may collect telemetry from Node Software, such as performance, uptime, and benchmark data, to operate the marketplace, calculate Reliability Score, and detect violations of this Agreement, but that such telemetry is not used to access the substance of User Content or Sessions. # 12. Payments and Digital Assets The Services involve the use of cryptocurrency, including payments to Node Providers in USDC on the Base network and marketplace wallet deposits by Users in USDC on the Base network. You are solely responsible for the security of your own wallets and private keys. OctaSpace cannot recover funds lost due to lost credentials, user error, or third party wallet or exchange failures. Digital assets are volatile and involve risk, including regulatory risk. Nothing in this Agreement or in OctaSpace's marketing materials constitutes investment, financial, tax, or legal advice, and no statement about any digital asset used within the Services should be relied upon as a promise of value, return, or future performance. You are responsible for complying with the laws applicable to your use, holding, or transfer of digital assets in your jurisdiction. # 13. Disclaimers of Warranties THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL NODES, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Because Nodes are independently owned and operated by third party Node Providers rather than OctaSpace, OctaSpace does not guarantee the uptime, performance, security, or availability of any specific Node, and does not guarantee that Node Providers will comply with this Agreement at all times, although OctaSpace uses benchmarking, Reliability Scoring, and enforcement mechanisms designed to encourage compliance. Similarly, OctaSpace does not guarantee that Users will use rented capacity, the VPN, or the rendering platform lawfully or appropriately, although Node Providers benefit from the isolation, monitoring, and enforcement mechanisms described in this Agreement. # 14. Limitation of Liability TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OCTASPACE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF OCTASPACE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. # 15. Indemnification You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless OctaSpace, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of this Agreement; (b) your Content or workloads, including any Docker Image or Virtual Machine you deploy; (c) your use of the VPN or rendering platform in violation of Section 7; or (d), if you are a Node Provider, your Node's non-compliance with Sections 5.1, 5.5, 5.6, or 5.7. # 16. Suspension and Termination You may stop using the Services and close your account at any time, subject to completing any active Sessions and outstanding payment obligations. OctaSpace may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, immediately and without prior notice where you have materially breached this Agreement, where required by law, or where necessary to protect the security or integrity of the Services, Node Providers, or Users. If OctaSpace terminates or suspends your account, you are prohibited from registering or creating a new account under your name, a false or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if acting on behalf of that third party. In addition to suspending or terminating an account, OctaSpace reserves the right to pursue appropriate legal action, including civil, criminal, and injunctive remedies, where warranted. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 5.7, 7.1, 7.2, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, and 17, will survive. # 17. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law OctaSpace operates as a decentralized network without a fixed jurisdictional headquarters. As such, this Agreement is not subject to the exclusive governing law of any single jurisdiction, and no specific court or arbitration venue is designated for the resolution of disputes. OctaSpace will comply with lawful requests from law enforcement and regulatory authorities, and may disclose information, suspend Services, or take other action as required by applicable law or valid legal process. Where practicable and legally permitted, OctaSpace will notify an affected User or Node Provider of such action, but may withhold notice or act without prior notice where doing so would compromise an investigation, safety, or security. As between Users and Node Providers, or between a User or Node Provider and any other third party, OctaSpace is under no obligation to become involved in a dispute. You release OctaSpace, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind, known or unknown, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes, to the maximum extent permitted by law. # 18. Changes to These Terms OctaSpace may update this Agreement from time to time. Where changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice, such as by posting a notice on our website or notifying you through the Marketplace or by email, before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Services after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Agreement. # 19. Miscellaneous - **Entire Agreement.** This Agreement, together with any documents it incorporates by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and OctaSpace regarding the Services. - **Severability.** If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. - **No Waiver.** OctaSpace's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. - **Assignment.** You may not assign this Agreement without OctaSpace's prior written consent. OctaSpace may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. - **Independent Contractors.** Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between OctaSpace, Node Providers, and Users. Node Providers act as independent participants in the network and are not agents or representatives of OctaSpace. - **Force Majeure.** OctaSpace is not liable for any failure or delay resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control. - **System Integrity.** OctaSpace may, at its discretion, restrict or block access from certain IP addresses, accounts, or devices where reasonably necessary to protect the integrity, security, or availability of the Services. - **Notices.** Notices to OctaSpace should be sent to the contact details in Section 20. Notices to you will be sent to the email address or in app contact method associated with your account. - **Electronic Contracting. **Your use of the Services includes the ability to enter into agreements and make transactions electronically, and you agree that your electronic acceptance of this Agreement, and any actions you take within the Marketplace, are legally binding. - **Corrections.** OctaSpace may correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions on the website or within the Services, and may change or update related information, at any time without prior notice. # 20.
