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
  • 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:

  1. Registered provider — Bittensor coldkey and hotkey registered on subnet 51
  2. Provider running — either a self-hosted provider or the Lium.io Central Provider Server opt-in
  3. Wallet extension — 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:

  • 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
  • Provider Payouts — 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

Next steps​

  1. Sign in with your provider hotkey
  2. Add your first node
  3. Connect Discord so renters can request private pod support channels
  4. Monitor performance
  5. Track payouts
