Earnings are driven by unified memory bandwidth, RAM capacity, and network speed — the three factors that actually move token generation on Apple Silicon. Apple's chips are efficient enough that electricity costs typically stay under 5% of revenue.
Disclaimer: Earnings assume your Mac gets "full-time work" — as with all "part-time work" we can't guarantee your Mac is working around the clock. We start with baby steps.
The manifesto
Stop watching the AI revolution.
Start powering it.
Your Mac is hiding a beast of a processor. Whether you have an M1, M2, M3, or the latest M4, your Apple Silicon is packed with specialized Neural Engines designed to process AI at lightning speeds. Right now, that power is sitting idle while you sleep, study, or stream.
At depin.as, we let you rent out that idle compute to power the next generation of AI decentralized applications. You make passive side money; the planet gets a break.
Why Powering the Web with Mac Silicon Matters
Zero Water Waste
A single mid-sized server farm can suck up to 110 million gallons of water a year. Your Mac uses ambient air cooling. Exactly zero drops. We bypass the water crisis entirely.
5× More Energy Efficient
Server-grade x86 chips often pull 400W. Apple's 3nm architecture delivers up to 5× the performance-per-watt — same AI workloads, a fraction of the electricity.
Heal the Planet from Your Desk
Instead of clearing land and burning gigawatts to build new concrete data centers, we use the millions of high-performance Macs that already exist. True circular-economy tech.
The Orchard waitlist is open
Quality nodes only. Onboarded in batches.
We don't flood the network with low-quality nodes. To ensure early adopters earn the most per device, we onboard users in strict Hardware & Referral Batches.
01
Secure your position. Drop your email and run a 2-second hardware scan to see where your Mac places in the queue.
02
Skip the line. Got friends with M2, M3, or M4 Macs? Invite them. Quality referrals boost your queue position instantly.
03
Start your harvest. When your batch opens, activate your node, power the AI revolution, and watch your earnings stack.
