UR is an open source protocol powering network infrastructure, maintained by its community. For URnetwork products (eg: VPN), go to ur.io

Operators

The operators who run the network.

Network operators run the privacy servers and the verification endpoint. An operator deposits into the subnet as a costly, revenue-backed signal of real demand, runs the routing-verification protocol that co-signs each measured path, and commits the payout list that splits its rewards among the miners attached to it. Operators direct where rewards go but never hold anyone else's funds.

01

Run the servers

Operators run the privacy servers and the /verify endpoint that co-signs each measured path — the coordination layer between users and the miners that carry the traffic.

02

Signal real demand

Operators deposit UR sized to their real usage. Every deposit is conviction stake locked in the buyback reserve — never redistributed — so it is a costly, revenue-backed signal that validators weight when they score the pools.

03

Direct the payouts

Each settlement period an operator commits a Merkle payout list that splits its pool among its miners. It directs the split but never takes custody — every miner claims its share directly from the contract.

04

Get started

Register a network-operator key, run the /verify server, and deposit to begin. Operator admission is owner-gated during the launch phase.
