Lium’s new provider referral program pays 4% of a referred GPU’s rental billing for 12 months, in USDT. No GPU, node or alpha required. […]
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$18,877. For one introduction.</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is what you can earn on <a href="https://taodaily.io/lium-flips-chutes-as-bittensors-top-subnet-while-scaling-high-speed-gpu-rentals/">Lium (SN51)</a> by bringing a single B300 node to its GPU marketplace. Refer an H200 node and you earn <strong>$10,180</strong>. Bring in five B300 nodes and you are looking at roughly <strong>$94,000</strong> in USDT over a year.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lium, the decentralised GPU rental marketplace on Bittensor Subnet 51, has launched a provider referral program that rewards people for introducing GPU owners to the network.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">You don’t need to own a GPU, run a node or hold any alpha to take part. All you need is a referral code and someone with hardware.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How the money adds up</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">For every GPU a referred provider lists that is <strong>new to Lium</strong>, you earn <strong>4% of its rental billing for 12 months</strong>. The provider you refer also gets a <strong>1% bonus</strong> on the same GPUs for the same period, on top of their full rental share. Both payments come out of Lium’s fee, so the provider gives up nothing by using your code.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">12-month estimates for a full 8-GPU node:</p> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><th>Node</th><th>Your 12-month reward (4%)</th><th>Referred provider’s bonus (1%)</th></tr><tr><td>8× B300</td><td><strong>$18,877</strong></td><td>~$4,719</td></tr><tr><td>8× H200</td><td><strong>$10,180</strong></td><td>~$2,545</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Working backwards, $18,877 is 4% of roughly $472,000 in annual rental billing, which is what an 8× B300 node brings in if it stays rented around the clock at about $6.70 per GPU-hour. The H200 figure implies about $3.60 per GPU-hour. Your actual payout will depend on the price the provider sets and how much of the year the node is rented.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The math scales with every node. Refer a data centre with ten H200 nodes and the estimate passes <strong>$100,000</strong>.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Have GPUs?

Lium supports datacentre cards, workstation RTX PRO GPUs and consumer GeForce RTX 30, 40, and 50 series cards.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Based on Lium’s live pricing, here is what an 8-GPU node bills in a month if it stays fully rented, and what that is worth to you as the referrer:</p> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><th>GPU (8-GPU node)</th><th>Live price per GPU-hour</th><th>Monthly billing, fully rented</th><th>Your 12-month referral (4%)</th></tr><tr><td>B300</td><td>$8.50</td><td>~$49,600</td><td>~$23,800</td></tr><tr><td>B200</td><td>$5.50 – $6.53</td><td>$32,100 – $38,100</td><td>$15,400 – $18,300</td></tr><tr><td>H200</td><td>$2.75 – $4.23</td><td>$16,100 – $24,700</td><td>$7,700 – $11,900</td></tr><tr><td>H100</td><td>$1.20 – $2.75</td><td>$7,000 – $16,100</td><td>$3,400 – $7,700</td></tr><tr><td>RTX PRO 6000 (Server)</td><td>$1.19 – $1.85</td><td>$6,900 – $10,800</td><td>$3,300 – $5,200</td></tr><tr><td>A100 SXM4 80GB</td><td>$0.50 – $1.23</td><td>$2,900 – $7,200</td><td>$1,400 – $3,400</td></tr><tr><td>RTX 5090</td><td>$0.50 – $0.85</td><td>$2,900 – $5,000</td><td>$1,400 – $2,400</td></tr><tr><td>RTX 4090</td><td>$0.30 – $0.58</td><td>$1,800 – $3,400</td><td>$840 – $1,600</td></tr><tr><td>RTX 3090</td><td>$0.13 – $0.40</td><td>$760 – $2,300</td><td>$360 – $1,100</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">These are ceilings, not guarantees. They assume 730 rented hours a month, and the figures are what renters pay, of which the provider keeps most.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Prices are set by each provider and change constantly. Also note that consumer rigs often run fewer than eight cards, so scale those rows down accordingly.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s a floor, too. Idle datacentre GPUs that qualify still earn idle pay from subnet emissions, with Lium’s validator currently paying $6.40 per GPU-hour for an unrented B300.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">For referrers, the rule of thumb is simple: every $10,000 a month a referred node bills puts roughly <strong>$4,800</strong> in your pocket over 12 months.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who you should be talking to</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The program is built for anyone who knows people with GPUs: data centre operators, GPU farms, former crypto miners, AI startups sitting on spare capacity, gamers and hobbyists with high-end RTX cards, and hardware owners who have never listed on a decentralised marketplace before.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lium gives those providers a strong pitch of their own. Providers keep their rental share, get paid daily, and earn idle pay from subnet emissions when eligible datacentre GPUs (H100, H200, B200, B300, A100, L40S, L40) sit unrented.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to participate</h2> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="545" src="https://taodaily.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/image-246-1024x545.png" alt="" class="wp-image-25872" srcset="https://taodaily.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/image-246-1024x545.png 1024w, https://taodaily.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/image-246-300x160.png 300w, https://taodaily.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/image-246-768x409.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>Go to the <a href="https://provider.lium.io/referrals/providers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Refer a Provider page</a> and sign in with any e-mail or Google account.
