How to Participate

General Guide

Getting started is easy. All roles follow the same steps as follows:

Step 1: Sign Up: Visit the Pictor Testnet page, and choose one of the following methods:

• Sign in with Google: A keyless Aptos account is automatically created for you within Aptos Connect.

• Connect Aptos Wallet: Use your Aptos wallet (e.g., Petra) to sign in directly.

Important Notes:

1. The Keyless Aptos account created via Aptos Connect is directly linked to the Google account you use to sign in. If you lose access to your Google account, you will also lose access to the associated Aptos blockchain account.

2. 🔐 To keep your account secure, we strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Google account.

Step 2: Choose a Role Select whether you want to join as a Creator, Worker, or Community Member.

• Creator: Go to the Rendering section, submit Blender rendering jobs for Workers in the network to process.

• Worker: Go to the My Nodes section, download and install the Pictor Worker app, create a new Worker, connect your device, and start contributing your GPU power to the network.

• Community Member: Go to the Rewards section, complete the listed tasks.

Step 3: Start Earning Points Complete tasks based on your role:

• Creator: Claim credits to submit jobs and earn points for every job rendered successfully.

• Worker: Earn points based on the tasks you have rendered and your Worker Nodes' total online time.

• Community Member: Earn points by checking in daily, completing social tasks, and inviting friends to join the campaign.

• The list of supported GPUs may change during the campaign based on performance, stability, or network conditions.

c. Earning Breakdown

Task	Point
Render: Install, run the Worker app, and render assigned tasks	${\footnotesize \displaystyle\frac{\text{Completed Tasks} * \text{Render Cost} * 4}{\text{Job's Total Tasks}} }$
Online: Install and turn on the Worker app, but do not render tasks	${\footnotesize \displaystyle\frac{O * P}{24} }$

O: Online Time - Time that the Worker Node is online, but does not render tasks.

P: Performance Multiplier - Based on your GPU’s Blender benchmark score.

Example:

Let’s say you have a dual-GPU device:

• An RTX 3070 with a Performance Multiplier (P) of 2.4294.

• An RTX 5090 with a Performance Multiplier (P) of 10.6878.

You spent:

• 6 hours online, but not rendering (O = 6)

Your points for that session are: Points = 6 * (2.4294 + 10.6878) / 24 = 3.2793

FAQs

🔹 What are points? How do they work?

• Points are your testnet scores that reflect how actively and reliably you contribute.

• Points determine your leaderboard rank and will be kept until TGE for more benefits.

🔹 What are credits? How do I get them?

• Credits are what you use to pay for jobs on Pictor Network.

• You can earn free credits by completing tasks on the Rewards section, or deposit with USDT in the Credit section (coming soon).

• You need at least 0.1 credit to submit a rendering job.

• Claiming credits from daily check-ins is on-chain, and you'll need a small amount of testnet APT to cover the gas fee.

🔹 Is there a leaderboard? How is the ranking calculated?

Yes. The leaderboard displays the top participants in the testnet campaign, ranked by their total Points.

🔹 What rewards will the leaderboard winners receive?

The top 100 users on the leaderboard will share a reward pool of $2,000 worth of APT. Rewards will be allocated based on your final ranking when the testnet ends.

👉 See reward breakdown here.

🔹 What GPUs are supported for running as a Worker?

We support a wide range of NVIDIA, AMD, and Apple GPUs.

View the full GPU list here:

• NVIDIA: https://docs.pictor.network/docs/campaign/testnet-on-aptos#nvidia

• AMD: https://docs.pictor.network/docs/campaign/testnet-on-aptos#amd

• Apple: https://docs.pictor.network/docs/campaign/testnet-on-aptos#apple

🔹 What operating systems are supported for running a Worker?

Currently, we support Windows. Support for other OS will be added in the future.

🔹 Can I run more than one Worker under one Pictor account?

Yes, you can run multiple Workers using one Pictor account.

🔹 My worker is online but not receiving jobs — what should I do?

Your worker needs Blender installed to receive rendering tasks from Pictor.

To fix this:

1. Open the Pictor Worker App

2. Go to the Settings tab

3. Select a Blender version (we recommend the latest, e.g., 4.4) and install it

4. After installation, click the Detect button so the app can recognize Blender

Once detected, your worker will be ready to receive tasks as they come in.

🔹 Why is my Worker rendering with CPU instead of GPU?

In some cases, your Worker automatically switches to using the CPU instead of the GPU to render a task. This results in significantly lower performance and longer render times, negatively impacting workers' experiences.

Possible Reasons:

• Weak GPU: If your GPU lacks sufficient VRAM or does not meet the minimum compute capability required for certain render tasks, Blender may fall back to CPU rendering.

• Tasks containing Python scripts (.py ): Some tasks include Python scripts (e.g., for customizing materials, animations, or rendering logic). These scripts are not yet supported by the GPU rendering pipeline, and such tasks will automatically run on the CPU.

• We are continuing to investigate and will provide appropriate solutions in upcoming app updates.

• Keep an eye on our Discord channel so you won't miss the update notification.

🔹Why does my Worker app display the message "Worker MAC address exists?"

Each Worker is linked to the MAC address of the device it was first registered. This means a single device can only be associated with one Worker at a time. If you're trying to create or connect a new Worker on the same device, the system will detect that the MAC address is already in use and show this error.

To fix it:

1. Go to the Testnet dashboard

2. Navigate to My Nodes

3. Find and delete the existing Worker that uses this MAC address

4. You can now connect the new Worker to this device

🔹 Where can I get help or report issues?

You can get help by chatting directly in our Telegram channel or by opening a support ticket in the #🎫・ticket channel on our Discord.

Our community moderators and support staff are ready to assist you on both platforms.
