What NodeOps does

NodeOps is a decentralized infrastructure platform that operates a three-layer stack combining verifiable compute, an AI-native development environment, and a tokenized economic layer. The Power Layer is the NodeOps Network — a grid of 89,000+ independent distributed machines providing CPU and GPU compute capacity for AI workloads and blockchain infrastructure. The Creation Layer is CreateOS, an AI-assisted workspace in which developers move from natural-language prompts or Git repositories to deployed, monetizable applications in approximately 90 seconds, with automatic containerization, managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Valkey, Kafka), zero-config CI/CD, and a Build-to-Earn marketplace. The Economic Layer is the $NODE token (genesis supply 678,833,730), with 50% of protocol revenue directed to permanent token burns and staking yield distributed via the Portal interface.

NodeOps monetizes through tiered subscriptions (Free, Plus at $49/month, Pro at $149/month, and custom Enterprise), dedicated compute rental priced at $20-$160 per month, marketplace commissions, and enterprise service contracts covering Compute-as-a-Service, Validator-as-a-Service, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service. Go-to-market is hybrid: product-led growth via a no-credit-card free tier, MCP-based integrations embedded in nine-plus AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, OpenCode, Gemini CLI/Code Assist, Claude.ai), community channels (Discord, Telegram, GitHub, Substack), and a direct enterprise sales motion for SOC 2 Type II compliant deployments. Distribution is reinforced by 100,000+ builders in the community, a #1 Product Hunt ranking on launch day (February 4, 2026), and a reported 700,000+ verified users across the ecosystem.

The company serves individual developers, indie hackers, startups, blockchain ecosystems (60+ chains including BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, XDC Network, and Canton Network), and enterprise clients. NodeOps Inc. was founded in 2024 by Naman Kabra (CEO) and Pratik Balar, is headquartered in New York City, maintains operations across India (textile-sector pilot), and is legally domiciled in the British Virgin Islands. It has raised a $5 million seed round (May 2024) led by L1D with participation from Blockchain Founders Fund, Finality Capital, and angels including Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal and Circle's Sunil Sharma, and is pursuing additional capital.

Revenue model

1. Subscription Plans (Free/Plus/Pro/Enterprise): Tiered subscription model: Free ($0, limited to 1 project, 30 build minutes), Plus ($49/mo annual, 5 projects, 500 build minutes), Pro ($149/mo annual, unlimited projects, 2,000 build minutes), Enterprise (custom pricing with unlimited everything). All tiers include pay-as-you-go compute beyond included limits.
2. Compute/Server Rental (Server Flow): On-demand rental of dedicated CPU/GPU compute units priced at $20-$160/month depending on configuration (2-16 vCPU, 4-32GB RAM, 90-720GB disk). Revenue from idle hardware monetization and high-performance workload deployment.
3. Marketplace & App Store: Template marketplace with credit-based pricing (contributors set prices in credits) and application store with direct in-app payment. NodeOps takes a commission on transactions. Creates passive income streams for builders (Build-to-Earn model).
4. $NODE Token Economics: 50% of protocol revenue is used to burn $NODE tokens permanently, creating deflationary pressure. Users burn $NODE to obtain platform Credits for services. Staking yield available via Portal. Revenue-driven mint formula ties new token creation to actual protocol revenue.
5. Enterprise Services (CaaS/VaaS/IaaS): Custom-priced enterprise engagements for Compute-as-a-Service, Validator-as-a-Service, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service. Includes dedicated clusters, custom SLAs, 24/7 support, and priority security audits.

Core offering

NodeOps provides an integrated platform that combines a decentralized compute network of 89,000+ machines (Power Layer), an AI-native application workspace called CreateOS for building, deploying, and monetizing applications without DevOps expertise (Creation Layer), and a $NODE token-driven economic layer that captures platform usage through burns and staking yield (Economic Layer). The platform supports AI-assisted code generation, automatic containerization, zero-config CI/CD, managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Valkey, Kafka), blockchain node deployment across 60+ networks, and a Build-to-Earn marketplace for developer monetization.

Product overview

NodeOps is a unified platform combining three integrated layers: (1) Power Layer - NodeOps Network providing verifiable decentralized compute via 89,000+ distributed machines; (2) Creation Layer - CreateOS, an end-to-end intelligent execution environment for building, deploying, and monetizing applications; and (3) Economic Layer - $NODE token powering DeFi primitives with usage-driven burns and staking yield. The product portfolio includes CreateOS (AI-native workspace for app development and deployment), NodeOps Console (blockchain node orchestration for 60+ networks), NodeOps Portal ($NODE staking and asset management), and enterprise services (Compute-as-a-Service, Validator-as-a-Service, Infrastructure-as-a-Service). The platform eliminates context-switching by combining AI code generation, zero-config deployment, managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), caching (Valkey), message queues (Kafka), and a Build-to-Earn marketplace in one unified workspace.
