where to reach us

t.me/fabrwachatThe chat. Questions about mining, nodes, the API and the treasury.
t.me/siliconfabThe channel. Announcements only.

A support mailbox on this domain is being set up. Until it answers, it is not published here, so nothing you send bounces.

never share

Crypto support is where scammers live. So, plainly:

We will never ask for your private key, your seed phrase, or a provider API key.

We never message you first, on any platform.

The only accounts that are fab: t.me/siliconfab and t.me/fabrwachat, and this site.

Anyone claiming to be fab who asks for any of that is not us. Post the screenshot in the chat and we will warn everyone else.

what to send

The faster we can find it, the faster it gets fixed.

  • · your wallet's public address, never the private key
  • · when the run happened, and the GPU and browser you used
  • · the transaction hash, for anything that touched the chain
  • · for the API: the model, the job id and roughly when you sent it

quick answers

I finished a run. Where is my reward?

Runs settle every six hours. After the next settlement your share shows up on the fab page, ready to claim. How much a run pays follows the treasury: a governor steers payouts toward 1% of the vault a day, see the treasury.

Do I need $FAB to mine?

To earn, yes. One free trial run shows you how it works, but it is not paid: only runs under a mining pass are, and a pass needs $30 of $FAB in your wallet. A holder pass keeps one GPU mining nonstop. Hold $300 and every run pays 1.25x on up to two GPUs at once; hold $3,000 and it pays 1.5x on up to four. Your holding is checked when each run starts and again when it finishes, so keep the $FAB in the wallet for the whole run.

Which GPUs work?

Any GPU with WebGPU in a desktop browser, such as recent Chrome or Edge. Keep the tab open for the whole run: 15, 30 or 60 minutes.

Who bills me for Opus or DeepSeek on the fab?

Anthropic or DeepSeek, on your own account. The fab sends your key with that one request and never stores it, adds no markup, and never sees your bill. Questions about a provider bill go to that provider.

My prompt is stuck in the queue.

Open models are answered by miners who are online right now. If nobody is serving that model, the prompt waits in line. Poll it at /api/v1/inference/<id>, or start a run and answer it yourself.

Do nodes get paid?

Not yet. Nodes serve prompts, but payouts come from the benchmark run, which a node never does. We will say so when that changes.
