🚀 TESTNET LIVE — MINE WITH YOUR RAM, NOT YOUR GPU
"Don't let your computer dream for free."
REM = The Pinecone of the Blockchain
We had Storage (Filecoin).
We had Bandwidth (Helium, Grass).
The next DePIN vertical is Memory.
Modern AI (RAG, semantic search, agents) runs on vector databases like Pinecone — centralized, expensive, and closed.
REM Network is a DePIN AI infrastructure project on Sui that turns idle RAM across the globe into a decentralized, cryptographically verified vector database.
- AI-First DePIN: RAM-backed vector DB for RAG, search, agents.
- Proof of RAM (PoRAM): We cryptographically prove miners really store data in RAM.
- 70% Cheaper Than Pinecone: DePIN pricing instead of SaaS markups.
- Live on Sui Testnet: Real nodes, real queries, real rewards.
🧠 WHY MEMORY? WHY NOW?
Every serious AI app today runs some form of:
- RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)
- Semantic Search
- AI Agents with Long-Term Memory
All of that depends on one thing:
fast vector search in memory.
Current options (Pinecone, Weaviate, etc.) are:
- Centralized: Single company controls access & pricing.
- Expensive: Hundreds to thousands of \$ per month for serious workloads.
- Opaque: No way to verify what’s happening under the hood.
Meanwhile, billions of devices have idle RAM that earns
nothing.
REM Network connects this idle RAM to AI demand:
- Developers get fast, cheap, decentralized vector search.
- Miners get paid in $REM for contributing memory and uptime.
⚙️ CORE TECHNOLOGY — PROOF OF RAM (PoRAM)
Most “mining” projects just ping your IP or count uptime.
REM uses Proof of RAM (PoRAM) — a consensus mechanism that cryptographically proves you are storing data in RAM, not on disk.
How PoRAM Works (Simplified)
- 1. Commitment: Miner declares N GB of RAM. REM generates an epoch seed. Miner fills that RAM with deterministic data derived from the seed.
- 2. Challenges: Coordinator sends random offset+size challenges like: "Give me the hash of bytes X–Y".
- 3. Verification: Coordinator recomputes expected hash locally and compares. Latency reveals if data is really in RAM (microseconds) or cheating via disk (milliseconds+).
- 4. Scoring: Your Challenge Score is based on accuracy and speed. Cheaters are statistically detectable and get slashed/ignored.
Reward Formula (Docs Version)Miner Rewards =
[Capacity Score × 50%] +
[Challenge Score × 40%] +
[Query Score × 10%]
× Tier Multiplier
× Uptime²
Where:
- Capacity Score: Your RAM / Total network RAM
- Challenge Score: PoRAM accuracy + latency
- Query Score: Queries served / Total queries
- Uptime Multiplier: (uptime_percentage)² — reliability matters
PoRAM =
useful work. You’re not hashing random numbers; you’re powering AI memory.
⛏️ MINING WITH RAM — NOT ASICs
Requirements to mine:
- 4GB+ free RAM (more RAM = more rewards)
- Windows / macOS / Linux
- Stable internet
- Sui wallet (created automatically if you need)
Key Points:- No GPU required.
- No ASICs.
- Runs in the background.
- Rewards every hour (hourly epochs).
During testnet you earn
tREM (testnet points), which will be converted to
mainnet $REM after launch.
There is
no 1:1 peg — instead, a dedicated pool of mainnet tokens will be distributed
proportionally to your share of all tREM mined.
The more and earlier you mine, the larger your share of the mainnet drop.
🔥 10% LIFETIME REFERRAL PROGRAM
Invite miners. Earn 10% of their mining rewards — forever.
- You mine with your RAM.
- Your friends mine with their RAM.
- You earn an extra 10% of everything they mine from the Referral Pool, without reducing their rewards.
Example:Friend mines : 1,000 tREM
You receive : 100 tREM (10% from referral allocation)
Friend keeps : 1,000 tREM (unchanged)
- You must be an active miner to claim referral rewards.
- No limit on the number of referrals.
- Referral stats visible in the dashboard & logs.
Build your network
now while difficulty is low and early tREM still has outsized impact on your mainnet allocation.
💰 TOKENOMICS — 1 BILLION $REM (FIXED)
Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 $REM
From the official tokenomics (link):
- 55% — Mining (550M)
- 10% — Referrals / Community Growth (100M)
- 10% — Team (100M)
- 10% — Marketing (100M)
- 10% — CEX/DEX Liquidity (100M)
- 5% — Treasury (50M)
Key principles:- Majority to the network: 65% (Mining + Referrals) goes directly to the community.
- Transparent distribution: All emissions and claims are on Sui and verifiable via the REM Explorer.
- Hourly epochs: Rewards are calculated and can be claimed every hour based on your contribution.
Token Utility:- Mining Rewards: Primary way to earn $REM.
- Staking: Higher tiers require staking $REM to unlock reward multipliers.
- Payments: AI developers pay in $REM for storage & queries.
- Governance: Long term, $REM will be used for protocol decisions and treasury spending.
📊 MINING TIERS — TURN FREE RAM INTO LEVERAGE
From the official docs (link):
| Tier | Name | RAM | Stake | Multiplier |
| T0 | Dreamer | 2 GB | None | 0.5× |
| T1 | Bronze | 4–7 GB | 500 REM | 0.8× |
| T2 | Silver | 8–15 GB | 1,500 REM | 1.0× |
| T3 | Gold | 16–31 GB | 5,000 REM | 1.3× |
| T4 | Diamond | 32–63 GB | 15,000 REM | 1.6× |
| T5 | Titan | 64+ GB | 40,000 REM | 2.0× |
More RAM + higher tier = more share of each hourly epoch.
Have a gaming PC or a home server collecting dust?
REM turns it into
AI infrastructure that pays you.

🛠️ HOW TO START MINING (5 MINUTES)
Official mining guide: https://www.getrem.online/mining-guide.html
Step 1 — Download the Miner
Go to: Mining Guide
Download the latest miner package (Windows / macOS / Linux).
Step 2 — Run the Interactive Setup
# Linux / macOS
chmod +x interactive_setup.sh
./interactive_setup.sh
# Windows (PowerShell)
.\interactive_setup.ps1
The wizard will:
- Check/install Python 3.8+
- Install dependencies
- Install Sui CLI if needed
- Help you create or connect a Sui wallet
- Ask how much RAM you want to commit
- Generate config and start your miner
Step 3 — Start Earning# Restart later if needed
./start_miner.sh # Linux / macOS
start_miner.bat # Windows
Track logs and your referral ID:
dvm-miner logs
cat ~/.dvm_miner/referral_info.txt
Leave it running. Watch tREM accumulate. This is your future slice of mainnet $REM.

❓ FAQ (SHORT VERSION)
Q: Is this another bandwidth proxy like Grass?
A: No. REM sells RAM-backed AI memory, not just bandwidth. We are the vector database layer for AI on-chain.
Q: What do I earn on testnet?
A: You earn tREM points. After mainnet launch, a dedicated allocation of $REM will be distributed to testnet participants proportional to their tREM. This is not a 1:1 peg.
Q: Is there a token sale or presale?
A: No public ICO is live now. The only guaranteed way to get exposure before TGE is to mine and refer miners during testnet.
Q: Can I run this on my everyday PC?
A: Yes. You choose how much RAM to commit. It runs in the background while you work or sleep.
Q: Which chain is this on?
A: REM is built on the Sui blockchain for low fees, high throughput, and fast finality.
Q: Where can I get help?
A: Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/9ndMQY4PYP — active support in #miner-support.
