We are inviting node operators, early adopters, and enthusiasts to participate in this phase of development.

What is the Fortytwo devnet?

The Fortytwo devnet is the first phase in the development of a decentralized, planetary-scale intelligence. It connects community-owned nodes running small language models on consumer devices like PCs and Macs. Each node contributes idle computing power, creating a distributed network that improves as more participants join. The devnet operates on the Monad testnet, a Layer 1 EVM-compatible blockchain, which serves as the settlement layer. Node performance and participation data are recorded on-chain to ensure transparency and safety.

Introducing ‘Hitchhiking to AGI’

Hitchhiking to AGI is Fortytwo’s devnet launch program, designed to onboard and reward users who help build and test the network. There are two main ways to participate:

​
Run a Node

  1. Complete the node operator form.
  2. If selected, you will receive an email and an initial mini-drop of tokens to the Monad address you provided in the form. You will have 72 hours to set up and launch your node following the provided instructions.
  3. Once your node is successfully operational, you will be able to continue to participate in the network and receive additional token drops.
Properly operated nodes will be eligible to earn Fortytwo rewards based on their ongoing participation and performance.

​
Spread the Word

  • Contribute to the network’s growth by sharing posts about Fortytwo and the Hitchhiking to AGI program on X
  • Create and share dashboards that display Fortytwo’s activities, including node statistics, devnet progress, or community engagement metrics.
  • Share your posts and dashboard links in the official Fortytwo Discord server to have a chance to earn rewards for your contributions.
