How it works
Useful work in. Verified results out.
AndroNode is a proposed network where Android devices run small, checkable AI tasks for paying customers. AI work stays off-chain; only money moves on-chain.

Who you are trusting
The first release is coordinator-managed. Receipts and on-chain balances make parts of the process auditable; they do not remove the operator.
| Decision | Who decides | What limits them |
|---|---|---|
| Quoting, scheduling and disputes | The operator | Published rules and receipts |
| Is a result correct? | The trusted verifier | Public tolerances and reason codes |
| Settlement of accepted work | 2-of-3 administrator keys | Contract enforces 75/25, funding limits and no replays |
| Credited balances | Nobody: you withdraw yourself | Pull payments, even while paused |
| Unused customer funds after hard close | Nobody: customer reclaims | Permissionless refund after 14 days |
What earns
Accepted records from paid orders. Same work, same quote, same pay. No token, membership or multiplier changes it.
What never earns
Installing, registering, uptime, idle charging, taps, referrals or holding a token.
What it costs you
Electricity, heat, battery wear and data. Rewards may be smaller than these costs. Read the risks.
