How MineChain Works

Three-Party Model​

Providers - Infrastructure owners with GPU portfolios

Tenants - End-users leasing compute

Broker (MineChain) - Marketplace infrastructure

Net Lease Structure​

Provider:

  • Owns portfolio
  • Sets lease terms
  • Manages occupancy
  • Covers infrastructure costs (power, cooling, bandwidth)
  • Keeps 100% of lease revenue

Tenant:

  • Pays lease rate
  • Gets SLA guarantees
  • Payment held in escrow
  • 24-hour minimum lease

Broker:

  • Provides marketplace
  • Manages escrow (USDC on Base L2)
  • Enforces SLA
  • Charges $49/month provider desk fee

Key Differences​

Traditional Platforms:

  • Take 20-30% of every transaction
  • Hide infrastructure owners
  • Pay in tokens (immediate dumps)
  • Phantom inventory (claim 6000 nodes, 10% work)

MineChain:

  • Flat $49/month (predictable costs)
  • Transparent provider portfolios
  • USDC escrow (real money)
  • Quality over quantity (verified infrastructure only)

Business Metrics​

  • Portfolio - Provider's GPU fleet
  • Occupancy - Utilization rate
  • Turnover - Tenant churn rate
  • Terms - SLA and lease conditions
  • Escrow - Payment protection mechanism

Coming Soon: Sales Agents​

Three-sided marketplace:

  • Providers - own infrastructure
  • Tenants - lease compute
  • Sales Agents - bring enterprise deals, earn commission (10-15% of first 3-6 months)

Providers still keep 100% of lease revenue. Agents earn on top for bringing business.
