# Hanzo Node

hanzod is the node that runs hanzo.network. It joins the fabric over a peer-to-peer transport, serves models to whatever the cluster routes to it, and settles the work on Lux. One Rust binary, started with hanzo fabric up.

Why Run a Hanzo Node

- The hardware you already have01
- Paid out of the block reward02
- The cluster knows who has what03
- Attested, then trusted04
- Three commands, no orchestration05
- Settled on Lux06

Consumer cards, datacenter accelerators, or Apple Silicon. The node reports what it can serve and the cluster routes to it on that basis.

A tenth of the block reward is set aside for AI compute. A provider's share is scaled by the level of the work — embeddings and small models, chat-sized models, large and multimodal, training, or specialized compute like proofs.

Ask it for models and it lists everything served across the peers your node can see. Ask it to route and it names who would answer; ask for placement and it says where a model nobody serves should be loaded.

A node's confidential-compute tier is attested rather than declared, and its share is scaled by that tier and by a trust score. Claiming a capability is not the same as proving one.

up starts it on the active network, join switches network and starts it, stop signals the process this CLI started by its recorded pid — and never anything else that happens to share the name.

Work is ordered on the Hanzo L2 and committed to Lux as a Merkle root, so what a node did is anchored where it cannot quietly be rewritten later.

Paste and ship

Paste this into any agent. It reads the skill manifest and calls Node from there.

Read https://hanzo.ai/skill.md and use Hanzo Node in my project. Start with: hanzo node list
```

## Put a machine on the fabric

Install the CLI, pick a network, run hanzo fabric up. The node binary is resolved from your PATH or an env var — the CLI runs it and never builds it for you.
