// ATON Constellation
Your idle PC, a star.
Lend your spare power. Earn points for your plan.
A free app for Windows, Mac and Linux. While your computer sits idle, its GPU or CPU runs small pieces of ATON Kestrel's research. Other members' machines check every result, and each checked result earns you points.
// How it works
Five steps, all in the background
You install it once. After that it only works when you are not using your machine.
01
Install
Download the app from the members portal. It is free, and you need no plan to take part.
02
Sign in
Sign in with your Atheron account. Your machine is tied to you, so the points it earns are yours.
03
Only while idle
It starts after a few idle minutes and stops within a second when you come back. Never on battery.
04
Peers check it
Every result is run on two or more members' machines and has to match before it counts.
05
Earn points
Each checked result earns points for the power it used, at your country's price plus 50%.
// What it runs
Research work, never your data
Each job is a small, signed piece of work on derived data. Your machine never sees a coin name, a date or an exchange.
Backtests and sweeps
Strategy tests, parameter sweeps and grid simulations, including members' Strategy Lab backtests, compiled and anonymised.
News scoring
Batches of news and text scored by our own small open models.
Experimental training
Small research nets for Kestrel, trained in pieces and always labelled experimental.
Simulations
Synthetic data, market simulators and stress scenarios.
Never on the network

// Monthly stars
Top contributors become stars
A leaderboard every month, ranked by checked work, never by money. Teams climb their own board.
- 1st: a year of Borealis
- 2nd and 3rd: six months of Aurora
- 4th to 10th: three months of Arctic
- The top 3 in each region win too
No purchase needed. Prizes are won from now. A prize's plan months start counting on go-live day, the day real-money trading opens. The official rules are on our legal pages.
// Built to be trusted
Decentralised, signed and sandboxed
Peer to peer
Machines find each other and share work directly. Only signed batches, final reports and the points ledger touch our servers.
Signed end to end
Every job, result and receipt is signed, and the receipts form a public chain anyone can check in the explorer.
A sandbox for every job
Jobs cannot see your files or reach the internet. The app runs as you, never as an administrator.
