Overview

Welcome to the Lium.io Provider Portal documentation. The Provider Portal gives GPU providers a UI to register, monitor, and manage their nodes.

Key features​

  • Flexible management: full control over your machines and availability
  • Pause new rentals: stop a node from accepting new rentals, at once when idle or after the current renter when rented, without interrupting a running pod
  • Maintenance scheduling: plan downtime without penalties
  • Network-wide visibility: see every node on the platform alongside your own
  • Grafana integration: detailed performance dashboards on each node's detail page

Getting started​

Before you begin, ensure you have:

E-mail / Google accounts are not released yet

Sign-up with an e-mail address or a Google account is built but off in production until Lium's pool has its own registered key (Provider Quickstart → Path A). Until then the portal signs in with your own registered hotkey only, and the e-mail / Google parts of this page describe the portal as it will open.

  1. A provider account — either an e-mail / Google account (not released yet; nothing to register; create it at provider.lium.io/signup) or your own hotkey registered on subnet 51 — see Authentication
  2. Provider running (hotkey accounts only) — either a self-hosted provider or the Lium.io Central Provider Server opt-in; an e-mail / Google account (not released yet) is connected automatically
  3. Wallet extension (hotkey accounts only) — any SS58-compatible browser extension (e.g. Polkadot.js extension or Bittensor Wallet extension) with your registered provider hotkey imported, used to sign in to the portal
  4. Nodes — at least one GPU node running. See Node Quickstart.

The Provider Portal is organized into several sections:

  • Overview (e-mail / Google accounts, not released yet) — this month's and all-time earnings from rentals (per node and UTC day, once the day is settled), your nodes, and the install command for a new GPU host
  • Overview (hotkey accounts) — your earnings and payouts, and a table of your nodes
  • Nodes — manage your registered GPU machines (status, pricing, notice periods, notifications) and view all nodes across the platform
  • Add Node — register a new GPU node
  • Earnings (hotkey accounts) — rental fees and subnet incentive together, by day and by node, with on-chain settlement proofs
  • Provider Payouts (hotkey accounts) — earnings from rental fees, broken down by day, validator, and node
  • Machine Requests — pending rental inquiries from renters that you can match to your nodes
  • Rewards Calculator (hotkey accounts) — what GPUs of each type earned on Lium over the last 30 days, scaled to the count you enter; see Rewards calculator

Next steps​

  1. Sign in — with your provider hotkey (e-mail / Google: not released yet)
  2. Add your first node
  3. Connect Discord so renters can request private pod support channels
  4. Monitor performance
  5. Track earnings and payouts
