Decentralized Physical Infrastructure
Own a slice of the
mobile-bandwidth network.
Snowpad is a DePIN — token-incentivized physical infrastructure. Like Helium for wireless or Render for GPUs, we turn idle mobile bandwidth into a public utility and pay the operators who run it. Your phone, your network, your earnings.

Operator payouts
Earned per gigabyte served
Payouts are locality-aware — set by the network, visible here, and settled monthly. Rates below are the current published schedule.

Payouts settle monthly to your UPI / local payment method. Final amounts depend on traffic shape — sustained uptime on a stable ISP earns the most.
How it works
Create an account
Email and password. Email verification. No credit card, no app-store hoops.
Add your hardware
Pick what you have — phone, home fibre, VPS, IoT board. We capture what you tell us, nothing forced.
Get a token, share bandwidth
From the hardware, create a node. SnowGain (or your client) uses the token to route traffic through your device. You earn per GB served.
Your first 6 months
From sign-up to steady income
A realistic look at what happens after you become an operator. No hype, no promises — just the milestones most operators hit on the way to a stable monthly payout.
Day 1
Your first node is online
Sign up, add your hardware, paste the token. Your phone or PC starts tunnelling within minutes. The network starts routing traffic through you as soon as you connect.
Week 1
First earnings land
A trickle of traffic from real residential proxy clients, settled at the published rate per GB. Most operators see their first credits within 24 hours of going online.
Month 1
First payout received
Monthly rollup settles to your UPI or local payout method. The math is in your local currency. The dashboard shows pending and settled amounts separately — no mystery numbers.
Month 3
Multi-node, expanding
Add a second node — a datacenter VPS for premium rates, or a home fibre line for residential IPs. The pool scales linearly with uptime. Earnings compound.
Month 6
Steady state
Five to ten nodes online across hardware types. Steady monthly income, predictable cadence. By now you know the network — uptime and traffic shape are what determine earnings.
Any device, one platform
Any device that can open an outbound tunnel counts. Pick what you have.
Mobile
Phones with SIM cards. The mobile app handles the tunnel — you just enter the token.
Pixel, iPhone, Galaxy
Datacenter
VPS or bare-metal servers. Static IPs, high bandwidth, premium rates.
Hetzner, OVH, AWS
Residential
Home broadband connections. WiFi routers, fibre, DSL. Real residential IPs.
JioFiber, Airtel Xstream
IoT
Embedded boards, microcontrollers, smart devices. Lightweight tunnels.
Raspberry Pi, ESP32
Questions operators actually ask
Does this hurt my battery or data plan?
SnowGain only tunnels when the phone is idle, on WiFi by default, and respects your carrier's limits. You set the caps in the app. Most operators see < 5% battery drain and 0 impact on normal phone use.
Is this safe to run on my personal phone?
The app never reads your personal data — contacts, messages, photos. It only opens an outbound tunnel to the network. You can stop the tunnel at any time from the app.
When and how do I get paid?
Earnings roll up monthly and settle to your UPI / local payout method. The exact rate per GB is shown above and varies by locality — set by the network, transparent to you.
What if my phone goes offline?
No problem. The pool routes around you. When you reconnect, you're back online. Offline phones earn nothing that day but your hardware is preserved — no re-onboarding.
Ready to run a node?
Two minutes to register. Add your first hardware. The network pays you for every gigabyte that flows through your device.
