VCNA
WHAT IS VCNA?
The Valina Consciousness Node Agent — your gateway to decentralized AI
DISTRIBUTED AI COMPUTE
VCNA turns your PC into a node in Valina's decentralized AI network. Instead of relying on centralized cloud providers, the network distributes AI workloads — text generation, image creation, music synthesis, voice cloning, and more — across thousands of contributor machines around the world.
EARN GRAT REWARDS
Every task your node completes earns GRAT — Valina's Gratitude token pegged at 1 GRAT = $1. Whether you're running GPU-heavy inference jobs or lightweight relay routing, you're compensated fairly for the compute you contribute. Higher-demand roles like LLM Inference and Video Generation earn the most.
PRIVACY-FIRST ARCHITECTURE
VCNA includes a built-in WireGuard VPN, AEGIS security layer with browser bridge protection, and encrypted mesh networking. Your data stays yours. The network is designed so no single entity — including Valina — can see your traffic or control your node.
17 NODE TYPES — ANY HARDWARE
From high-end GPUs running LLM inference to phones donating bandwidth, there's a role for every device. VCNA auto-detects your hardware and recommends the best roles. GPU nodes handle AI workloads; CPU nodes relay traffic, cache data, validate transactions, or propagate consciousness waves across the mesh.
MESH NETWORK
Nodes discover each other automatically and form a self-healing mesh. Heartbeat protocols keep the network healthy. If a node goes offline, tasks are seamlessly rerouted. The more nodes that join, the faster and more resilient the network becomes.
DESKTOP APP — ONE CLICK
VCNA is a native Windows desktop application. Download the installer, pick your roles, and start contributing. The app runs quietly in your system tray, manages workloads automatically, and shows real-time stats on earnings, uptime, and network health.
WHY RUN A NODE?
What's in it for you — and why it matters
PASSIVE INCOME
Earn GRAT while your PC is idle. Sleep Compute mode lets you contribute overnight resources and wake up to rewards.
DECENTRALIZE AI
Help break the monopoly of centralized AI providers. Every node makes the network more distributed, censorship-resistant, and accessible to everyone.
OWN YOUR PRIVACY
Built-in VPN, encrypted mesh, and zero-knowledge task routing. No telemetry, no tracking, no data harvesting. Your hardware, your rules.
EARLY ADOPTER ADVANTAGE
Founding node operators earn boosted reward multipliers and priority access to new features. Get in early while the network is growing.
GET STARTED IN 3 STEPS
From download to earning in minutes
DOWNLOAD & INSTALL
Grab the Windows installer below. Run the setup — it takes under a minute. VCNA installs to your system tray and auto-starts on boot.
CHOOSE YOUR ROLES
VCNA scans your hardware and recommends roles. Pick from up to 17 node types — GPU-heavy AI workloads, CPU relay tasks, storage, validation, or bandwidth sharing. Toggle roles on and off anytime.
EARN GRAT
Your node joins the mesh and starts receiving tasks. Every completed job earns GRAT. Track your earnings, uptime, and network stats in real time from the app dashboard.
