Warppool is a compute-based monetization network designed to help fund an ad-free web. Instead of relying on advertising and visitor tracking, publishers add a lightweight script to their websites, allowing visitors to opt in to contribute idle GPU capacity. Publishers earn credits for completed compute, while researchers can use the network to run distributed workloads. Eligible researchers with verifiable institutional affiliation can run jobs free, with no stated usage cap; others are charged for completed, verified work.

Warppool supports scientific and computational tasks, including climate ensemble forecasts, machine-learning inference, Monte Carlo simulations, and hyperparameter sweeps. Researchers can submit jobs and retrieve results, while publishers and site owners can access setup guides, demos, documentation, and API resources. The network checks tasks across multiple workers, uses canary tasks to identify unreliable contributions, and runs work in a browser sandbox. Warppool emphasizes explicit visitor consent and the use of existing devices rather than dedicated data-center hardware. Its aim is to connect publishers seeking an alternative revenue model with researchers needing distributed GPU computing.
