Run a Node

The Turbo client node is a lightweight process that runs in the background and that lets you earn passive crypto rewards for sharing your unused Internet bandwidth.

Compatibility

Platform	Supported
Windows	✅
macOS	✅
Linux	✅
Mobile	❌

Installation

• Download the latest release for your platform.
• Open the downloaded executable — a new icon will appear in your system tray.
• Click on the icon and select "Connect" to pair with your account.

• A page will open, if authentication is successful, you will be redirected to the dashboard and your new node will appear in the nodes list.

  You can add an unlimited amount of nodes as long as they are on different networks/IPs.

🎉 Congratulations! Your node is now earning passively, check out your dashboard regularly

Monetization

Base reward is $0.10 per GB shared but bonuses apply such as if:

• Your node has reached a daily connections streak over several days.
• Your node has a stable long-term connection.

$0.10 may seem low but the network is small, therefore the handled bandwidth per node is high.

For example, an average low-end node shares 0.05 GB/hour of bandwidth. At the current price rate we get $3.72/month + bonuses per node if running 24/7, users can run multiple nodes.

Score calculation

Your node score is based on two factors:

• $L$: Latency, capped on a range from 10ms to 500ms
• $R$: Reliability

$$ S = w_L \cdot L + w_R \cdot R $$

Where $w_L =$ 60% , $w_R =$ 40%

Self-host a Server Node

You're free to operate your own server for commercial use according to the Apache 2.0 license.

Run server docker image with docker-compose up and connect client nodes.

For more information, see Setting Up Development Environment

System Design

See Global Architecture for a high-level overview of the system.

    Proxy_Client->>Internet: 3. Process request (TCP level) 
    
    Internet-->>Proxy_Client: 4. Return encrypted response
    Proxy_Client-->>Proxy_Server: 5. Send data via QUIC
    Proxy_Server-->>SOCKS5_Client: 6. Send back to SOCKS5 Client
