🐝About Sogni Fast Worker
Sogni Fast Worker gives you the ability to contribute high performance Nvidia GPUs to Sogni Supernet's Fast network to maximize token earnings.
How Sogni Fast Worker Works
Sogni Fast Worker is a Docker-based application that runs in the background on your Windows or Linux machine. It’s designed to be "plug-and-play," so you can start contributing to (and earning from) the Sogni Supernet render network in minutes.
Run 24/7 on dedicated hardware
Deploy on cloud compute platforms (like Salad.com) that accept Docker images
Run part-time on a personal gaming PC when idle
Prerequisites to Run a Fast Worker
A free Sogni account (sign up at app.sogni.ai or use an existing one from Mac/iOS apps).
Docker Desktop for Windows or Docker Engine for Linux. Both are free.
A supported Nvidia GPU. The list of supported GPUs currently include: RTX 5090 (recommended) RTX 5080 RTX 5070 Ti RTX 4090 (recommended) RTX 4080 RTX 4070 Ti Super RTX 3090 RTX 6000 RTX A6000 H100 A100
A system with: RAM: At least 48GB Disk Space: At least 30GB free Internet: Min 5-10 Mbps recommended
Sogni API Key + Sogni Fast Worker NFT (free). When you start the worker (
worker-start.shorworker-start.bat), you will be guided through a one-time worker authentication process.
Sogni Fast Worker currently requires a Windows or Linux machine with a supported Nvidia GPU, 48gb of ram, ~30gb of free disk space, and a decent internet connection (5-10 Mbps).
There are currently two versions of the Sogni Fast Worker:
Sogni Flux Worker For running the Flux image generation model (our latest state-of-the-art).
Sogni Stable Diffusion Worker For running any of the 87+ Stable Diffusion models plus advanced Controlnets.
Which Worker Should You Choose?
Flux Worker: If you want to focus on a single, popular, state-of-the-art model and save disk space.
Stable Diffusion Worker: If you want access to a wide variety of models (87+) and advanced Controlnets. It does require more disk space. If you have a supported GPU with only 16gb of ram you'll get more performance and more jobs with this model.
You can switch modes at any time by rerunning the installer.
Ready to Earn?
Running a Sogni Testnet Worker enrolls your account in the Leaderboard program for a share of our $SOGNI Mainnet Airdrop, based on your rank on the Fast Worker leaderboard. The airdrop snapshot is tentatively scheduled at the end of Q1 2025, with distribution in April 2025.
Top Workers will also earn a Sogni Testnet Warrior badge (an NFT on the Base network), which provides a priority boost in the Supernet job queue post-Mainnet launch—forever. This is our way of saying thanks for your early support in delivering decentralized AI Art to artists everywhere.
While Testnet tSOGNI Tokens have no market value during Testnet your worker activity will be rewarded with Mainnet SOGNI token airdrops and network incentive badge NFTs based on Testnet Leaderboard rankings.
By running this worker application, you agree to the Sogni Terms of Service & Privacy Policy and the Leaderboard rewards Terms and Conditions.
Sogni Fast Worker Q&A
Q: My GPU isn't on the list, when will you support it?
A: The Sogni Fast Supernet strives to provide super fast and reliable render times (often less than <5 seconds) to artist no matter if returning a single image job or a batch of 16 images. This unique parallel processing capability is only as fast as the slowest worker in the batch. So in the current testnet phase we are restricting the Fast Supernet to these, top of the line but very popular, residential GPUs.
In the future we will be releasing new worker job types and Supernet speed tiers which will allow us to accommodate more GPUs. Our end goal is to allow all GPUs to participate.
Q: How do I get the Fast Worker NFT and API Key?
A: Just download the Fast Worker installer for your OS and follow the steps in the interactive installer. As part of that process your NFT will mint directly to your Base Sepola Testnet wallet, the wallet that was set up automatically for your Sogni account. During this process you'll also be able to create an API Key for your account. Both are needed to complete the setup for your worker.
The NFT_TOKEN_ID must be supplied because you may have multiple NFTs under your address and the Supernet needs to know which one to pull and build reputation against for your worker.
Q: Can I run more than 1 Fast Worker?
A: Yes you can run as many as you have the GPUs to allocate for so long as there are still unclaimed Fast Worker NFTs available to mint. NFTs are made available in batches that help ensure the supply of workers can go up in-line with platform demand. This helps ensure maximum job rates (and token rewards) for the number of GPUs on the network.
Q: The site nft.sogni.ai is not letting me mint more than 1 Fast Worker NFT ?
Site restrictions currently only allow Sogni accounts to mint an NFT if the address is not already holding one to prevent hoarding while minting is free during Testnet. However you can set up a new Sogni account for each worker, even using the same email address .
Q: How does the Leaderboard and airdrop rewards work?
The Fast Supernet Leaderboard is a live rank of Fast Workers by how many tokens were earned against the NFT it was logged in with. Tokens are earned by completing AI inference jobs on Sogni's Fast Supernet. Job analytics and reputation are stored against the NFT and not the Sogni account or address for this leaderboard ranking. This means when you run multiple Fast Workers, even from the same Sogni account, each will have a separate entry on the leaderboard.
An airdrop of Sogni's Mainnet token will be distributed to the Base network wallet automatically set up for each Sogni account with exponentially higher rewards based on leaderboard position. The final testnet leaderboard snapshot is tentatively end-of-March 2025 for an early April airdrop.
Q: Can I run both Relaxed / Mac Worker(s) and Fast Worker(s)?
This is fully supported but it is recommended not to do so from the same Sogni account.
Since the Relaxed Worker leaderboard is a single leaderboard for the entire Sogni address / account (with support for multiple Mac Workers) and Fast Worker jobs also contribute to address analytics, the leaderboard mechanics automatically disqualify and remove an account from the Relaxed Leaderboard if a Fast Worker authenticates with that account's API Key. If your Relaxed Worker is automatically removed in this way you can reach out on Discord or app@sogni.ai and we may be able to restore it for you.
Q: Can I get help getting my worker running and online?
A: If you're unable to get things up and running after reviewing our troubleshooting guide we're happy to help. Drop us an email at app@sogni.ai. You can include your username or NFT Token ID to help expedite support.
