PRODUCER Producer quick start
Publish a model backend you are authorized to share as a discoverable node.
- Download and sign in to the Fasten Share client, then open the producer page.
- Add a backend with its base URL, protocol, models, concurrency, and credit multiplier.
- Store the upstream key locally, pass the health check, and start sharing.
- Keep the client and backend online and review producer credits in the wallet.
Read the full guide → CONSUMER Consumer quick start
Find online model nodes and generate a compatible endpoint.
- Sign in and create or select a consumer API key.
- Search online producers by model, protocol, or keyword.
- Choose a node, copy its endpoint, or open the tool configuration assistant.
- Send a test request from a compatible client and verify the streamed response.

Where a request goes
A consumer calls the Fasten Share service, which forwards the request over the producer’s outbound connection to its model backend and streams the response back. The upstream API key exists only on the producer device.

Concepts to understand first
01 Producer node
A published backend with a protocol, models, multiplier, concurrency, and availability state.
02 Consumer API key
The credential used with a Fasten Share endpoint. It is entirely separate from a producer’s upstream key.
03 Consumer and producer credits
Inference spends credits while successful sharing earns producer credits. Current withdrawal rules live in the client.
04 Health check
The client periodically checks backend access and removes unhealthy nodes from available results.
Current compatibility
Compatibility evolves with the client; options shown in the current configuration UI are authoritative.
