Go to NFTs > Paired tab in the Provider Dashboard.

2. Initiate Minting

Click the "Mint" button in the top right.

3. Select GPU Type

Choose the GPU type from dropdown.

4. Choose Specific GPUs

Select which GPUs to pair from your inventory:

• Browse by Server ID

Verify GPU details:

• Machine ID
• Current pairing status (must be unpaired)
• Server location

5. Select Drop/Collection

Choose the drop or collection:

The paired GPUs immediately begin generating earnings for their owners.
