⚠ Estimates only — not a guarantee

These figures assume 70% utilization at $0.13/kWh after Wattlend's 30% take, with consumer-GPU market rates calibrated to public Vast.ai / RunPod / Salad data. Real earnings vary substantially by region, electricity cost, GPU model demand, network reliability, and platform-side demand fluctuations. Treat these as planning ranges, not commitments. We don't guarantee any specific earnings.
