# Edge Providers

> Connect compatible devices and applications to ZeroGPU and contribute idle compute to distributed AI inference across the ZeroGPU network.

Become an Edge Provider by connecting compatible devices and applications to ZeroGPU. Contribute compute from idle devices and make that capacity available for distributed AI inference across the ZeroGPU network.

You add a ZeroGPU Edge SDK to an app you already ship. While your users run the app, their device becomes an inference node: it downloads a small model, registers with the network, and serves inference tasks locally. ZeroGPU handles routing, model assignment, and verification; you don't run any servers.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add your app">
    Register your app in the [Edge Operator Portal](https://edge.zerogpu.ai) and submit it for approval.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get your SDK key">
    Once your app is approved, copy its SDK key (`zgpu-sdk-…`) from the portal.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Integrate the SDK">
    Add the SDK for your platform and start it with your SDK key. Devices register themselves automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Contribute compute">
    Devices running your app serve inference tasks. Track activity and earnings in the portal.
  </Step>
</Steps>
