Hardware, OS, and a Control Tower.
NovaLink turns thousands of small Machines into one trusted, meterable network. The hardware provides the footprint, a hardened operating system keeps it secure, and a Control Tower orchestrates everything the network sells.
Three layers, one system
The Machines
Intel-powered mini-computers — Nx1 and Hx1 — in homes and offices. Each unit holds a unique hardware identity and a single, secure outbound connection to the network.
The operating system
A proprietary, hardened Linux base — read-only, TPM-encrypted, with signed updates. Built to run untrusted workloads safely on a home network.
The Control Tower
The brain of the network. Schedules workloads, meters every session, scores node performance, and gates settlement — the layer that makes the network sellable.
Machines run silently 24/7 in ordinary homes to supply the network's clean residential capacity.
The Control Tower
A single Machine sharing bandwidth is a hobby. Tens of thousands of Machines, metered to an enterprise standard, are a product. The Control Tower is what turns one into the other.
- Orchestrates every node — scheduling, metering, and payouts
- Automated performance scoring gates settlement, enforcing an enterprise SLA
- Stress-tested across 100,000+ virtual node instances
- Cryptographically attributes every outbound session
From a home Machine to business demand
NovaLink runs across four coordinated planes. Here's the path from a single Machine to a paying buyer.
The owner provides the footprint
Location, power, and a home internet connection. NovaLink provides the OS, the network, and the commercial demand.
The Machine joins the network
Each Machine authenticates with its hardware identity and opens a single secure outbound connection. No inbound ports exposed.
Approved buyers submit workloads
Vetted business publishers send signed workloads through the publisher API. The Control Tower schedules them onto suitable nodes in isolated, metered sessions.
Output is metered and settled
Every session is measured, attributed, and quality-scored. The settlement plane turns that into verifiable, auditable revenue.
A single outbound connection is all it takes to join the network.
Clean residential supply, at scale
Data-center IP addresses are identifiable as infrastructure and routinely blocked. Residential IPs — genuine home connections — are the supply businesses actually need, and cloud providers structurally can't offer them. NovaLink operates a managed source of that supply: consent-based, KYC-verified, and fully auditable. Not the gray market — a compliant network buyers can put on a contract.
- Genuine residential addresses, not flagged data-center ranges
- Consent-based and KYC-signed at every node
- Sessions isolated from the owner's own activity

Coming online as supply scales
Market context, not a forecast: clean US residential bandwidth is widely cited at roughly $3–$8 per GB. NovaLink makes no income or earnings guarantee; figures here describe the market, not a promised return.
Multiple buyers, fully isolated
Running untrusted code on someone's home network is the hard problem. The OS is built to solve it.
Isolated workloads
Each workload runs in its own domain — a hardened container, or a microVM with its own kernel for higher-risk classes.
Code-signed only
Every workload artifact is verified before it runs. Unsigned or modified code is refused outright.
Closed and contained
Operators' logic stays private, and the owner's home LAN is walled off from network traffic by default.
By default the Nx1 does not accept inbound public traffic and is not an open proxy for anonymous buyers. Any relay capability is opt-in and gated behind independently-reviewed isolation.
Each Machine turns an ordinary desk into a live, metered node on the enterprise network.
