MLX rewards

Seats mine. Hour by hour.

A seat pays nothing up front. It sets how fast your Mac mines MLX for verified AI work: a Core seat mines up to ~0.83 MLX/h.

How it works.

Hour by hour

Every hour the compute pool pays the Macs that did verified AI work: up to ~0.33 MLX/h for every $100 of seat.

Locked

Mined MLX unlocks 3 to 20 days after the day it's earned with a dedicated seat (the smaller the seat, the longer the lock), or 30 days on a free seat.

Matched to your Mac

A seat mines in full on a Mac of its class. On a smaller Mac it mines at that Mac's class.

One pool

3.5B MLX pays every Mac for AI work, hour by hour. Free seats share at most 10% of each hour; dedicated seats share the rest.

Questions.

No. Since 20 October 2026 a dedicated seat pays nothing when you buy it. It sets how fast your Mac mines: up to ~0.33 MLX/h for every $100 of seat, earned hour by hour while the seat runs on a Mac of its class with MLX Node.

Each day's mining unlocks after your seat's lock-in: 20 days for Nano, 14 for Lite, 10 for Core, 7 for Pro and 3 for Ultra (the shortest seat in your wallet counts), or 30 days on a free seat. Your wallet shows every lock with a live countdown. Spot MLX you buy has no lock.

Share your invite link: wallets created through it are linked to yours, and your wallet counts the seats they get. Seats pay nothing up front, so there's no MLX invite bonus. Distributors earn commissions in USDC.

The network is live: MLX Node is public and dedicated seats mine on Macs of their class, hour by hour. Coming next: audits and slashing, paid jobs from clients (paid in USDC on top of mining, never locked) and wallet features in MLX.app for iPhone and iPad.

Your seat is seconds away.
