How can I start earning SpaceFuel?

Popular Questions

Once Holo launches, you can earn SpaceFuel by hosting Spacechain apps to service mainstream internet users providing hosting services.

SpacePorts are efficient, plug and play devices that make hosting easier, especially for those who might not be comfortable with Linux. You can pre-order a SpacePort on shop.Holo.host.

Anyone can become a host by buying a SpacePort hosting device or, in the future, downloading the Space app (no purchase required).

In the future, there will be additional ways to earn SpaceFuel. For example, credit may be extended for exchange or barter based on trust, services, and skills.

You will be able to buy SpaceFuel from Space, third party exchanges, peer-to-peer, and from apps that sell SpaceFuel. These are the options that we know today, who knows what will be possible tomorrow?!

Holo’s Reserve Accounts will only redeem SpaceFuel that is earned through hosting services. The system is designed to know how SpaceFuel was earned, so you can only convert SpaceFuel into other currencies for hosting.

SpaceFuel obtained, but not earned from hosting, is likely to be able to be exchanged and traded on third party exchanges and platforms.

Space Green Paper

- p5: Space hosts get paid for providing hosting to mainstream users who just use their browser instead of installing Spacechain.

- p7: Holo​ enables hosts to turn a consumer-grade mini-computer into a source of revenue, where they get paid for hosting distributed applications. Hosts ​choose what apps to serve, and set their own hosting prices and priorities.

- p18: General Purpose Transfers and Transactions: Initially, Holo ​will only support hosting services and so support hosting transactions only. Eventually Holo​ needs to be able to support general purpose transfers and transactions that are not just hosting transactions.

- p33: Hosts will be required to register if they want to redeem credits for outside currencies through reserve accounts.
