Hardware readiness
Inventory the GPUs you plan to donate. Phase 3 accepts NVIDIA RTX 30/40-series and data center cards with at least 16 GB VRAM.
Contributor grid is paused
The MafutaAI contributor network is currently offline while we scale the commercial rentals product. The next onboarding wave starts with the Phase 3 launch in February 2026.

Connectivity
Ensure outbound HTTPS access to MafutaAI endpoints and standard Docker runtime support on Linux or Windows (WSL).

Compliance
Read through the MafutaAI community handbook so you know how we handle task policy enforcement, POPIA, and contributor payouts.
What stays live?
- Existing contributor accounts retain their history and will re-activate automatically at launch.
- Payout balances will be settled once Phase 3 resumes trading credits for GPU time.
- Marketplace customers can continue renting GPUs on mafutai.co.za as usual—this pause only affects the community grid.
