Choose Your Method

Two ways to connect — pick what works best for you.

Recommended

💻 Desktop Agent

Maximum performance. Runs in the background, automatically detects your GPU, and processes AI training jobs natively. Best for NVIDIA and AMD GPU owners who want maximum earnings.

1

Create an Account & Log In

Go to projecthuginn.com and sign in with your Google account. Choose "GPU Owner" role.

2

Go to GPU Agent Page

In your Owner Dashboard, click "GPU Agent" from the sidebar menu.

3

Download the Agent File

Click "Download index.js" — this is the Hugin Agent script. Save it anywhere on your computer.

4

Generate Your Token

Click "Generate Token" on the same page. This creates a secure key that links your computer to your account.

5

Run the Agent

Open a terminal (Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on Mac/Linux), navigate to where you saved the file, and run:

node hugin-agent.js --token=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

💡 Tip: Use the "Copy Command" button on the Agent page — it fills in your token automatically.

Done! You're Earning

The agent will automatically detect your GPU, register it on the network, and start processing jobs. You'll see a live terminal log showing heartbeats and job assignments. Leave it running to earn HU credits.

🌐 Web Engine (Browser-Based)

No downloads, no terminal — just click a button. Works on any device with a web browser, including phones and tablets. Lower earnings than the Desktop Agent but zero setup.

1
Log in to your Owner Dashboard
2
Go to GPU Agent page
3
Switch to the "Web Engine (Browser)" tab
4
Click "Start Web Engine" — that's it!

✅ The Web Engine keeps running even if you navigate to other dashboard pages.

💰 How Earnings Work

HU (Hugin Units) — You earn HU credits when your GPU processes AI training jobs. 1 HU = €0.153 net (73% owner share).

Earnings depend on your GPU tier:

GPU Tier~HU/HourExamples
T1 — Enterprise4.50H100, A100 80GB
T2 — High-End2.80A100 40GB, RTX 4090
T3 — Mid-Range1.60RTX 4080, RTX 3090
T4 — Consumer0.90RTX 3080, RTX 2080 Ti
T5 — Entry0.40GTX 1060, RX 580

Payouts: When your balance reaches €10+, you can request a payout to your bank account via Stripe. Go to Owner Dashboard → Settings → Payout Account to connect your bank.

❓ Common Questions

Is it safe?+
Yes. All jobs run in sandboxed environments. The agent only processes AI training tasks — it cannot access your personal files or data.
Does it slow down my computer?+
Minimally. The agent uses idle GPU capacity. You can continue using your computer normally. If you start a game or heavy application, Hugin jobs will automatically yield priority.
Do I need to keep it running 24/7?+
No. Run it whenever you want. The more it runs, the more you earn, but there are no penalties for going offline.
What if I don't have NVIDIA drivers?+
The agent still works! It detects GPUs through multiple methods (nvidia-smi, rocm-smi, lspci, PowerShell). Even without dedicated GPU drivers, it can run as a CPU node.
How do I check my earnings?+
Go to your Owner Dashboard → Earnings page. You'll see real-time HU earned, pending payouts, and transaction history.
