Three things you can do
Run DIO solo
Free, forever
Full local agent, voice, multi-brain (your own API keys), workspace, library.
Use the network
Pay AUTOM per request
Tier 2 inference, distributed verification, Cloud Vault replication, public publishing.
Earn AUTOM
Spend nothing — earn instead
Contribute compute, storage, or bandwidth. Reliability earns more.
