Provider Overview
A provider is anyone who connects a GPU to the ComfyClaw Network so other users can run workflows on it.
When you connect as a provider, the network gateway:
- Discovers your published workflows
- Sends jobs over a reverse WebSocket connection (no port forwarding)
- Streams progress + preview frames back to consumers
- Pays you via Stripe Connect when jobs complete
Provider Tiers
| Tier | Stripe Connected | Pricing | Payouts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | No | $0.00 to consumers | None |
| Paid | Yes | You set the price | Automatic payouts |
Providers can publish workflows for free or attach pricing after connecting Stripe.
How Jobs Are Routed
- Consumer submits a job to
comfyclaw.app - Gateway finds a connected provider that advertises the workflow
- Job is sent via WebSocket to the provider
- Provider runs the workflow on their local ComfyUI server
- Output + progress updates are streamed back
Providers are selected by least active jobs to balance load.
