Home Cloud

The data center that lives in your home. AI and cloud companies fund the equipment, install it for free, and pay you to host it — while fewer mega data centers get built.

The Idea in Plain English

The big cloud and AI companies — Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Meta, Oracle and the major AI labs — are spending billions building giant GPU data centers everywhere, draining water for cooling, dumping heat on neighborhoods, and keeping all the profit in a few corporate hands.

Home Cloud flips that model. Instead of pouring all that money into one mega building, those same companies take part of the same budget and install equipment in ordinary homes. The homeowner pays nothing, hosts the gear, and earns a small, steady passive income. You don't need every home — just enough, in the right places, to absorb the work that would force another megacenter. That money goes to the people instead of into more concrete.

Who Pays — and WeAD's Role

The funders are the hyperscalers (AWS, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Oracle, big AI labs). They bring the money and the real workloads — it's their megacenter budget, redirected to homes and paid out to people.

WeAD does not pay for the hardware. WeAD designs the Home Cloud stack (Power Box + Data Box + AI Box) and runs the platform — the software that routes work, verifies it, secures it, and pays hosts on-chain. In short: the cloud giants bring the money, WeAD brings the design and the network, and you bring the location and earn.

The Home Cloud Stack

Three small units, wall-mounted like home battery gear you already understand — all funded and installed by the company:

Power Box

Solar panels + a home battery (~13.5 kWh) that run the stack on cheap, clean energy. Your home power always comes first.

Data Box

A compact secure drive holding up to 50 TB (and scaling higher) of encrypted network storage.

AI Box

An AMD Ryzen AI Halo–class mini computer running chatbots, bots, and local AI — no distant GPU hall needed.

How It Works — You Pay Nothing

  1. An AI or cloud company needs more capacity — and would normally fund a mega data center.
  2. Instead, it funds Home Cloud installs in qualifying homes. The company pays for all hardware and installation.
  3. You host the stack — solar, battery, storage, AI box — and pay $0, including the equipment's electricity.
  4. The network routes real workloads to your home and verifies the work.
  5. You receive a small, steady passive income for hosting. The company gets its capacity for less than a megacampus would cost.

Income for People. Good for the Environment.

Every mega data center that never gets built means less water drained in drought regions, less industrial heat dumped on one neighborhood, and less concrete and toxic e-waste. The same work gets done across homes that already have power and internet — and the people hosting it get paid.

Home Cloud is built on the WeAD People-Powered Hybrid Data Center white paper, notarized on Soneium.

Home Cloud is a proposed program targeting a 2029 rollout. This light paper is a plain-language summary, not a promise of product availability or guaranteed returns. Income per home is small and passive by design — the value is scale across many homes. Read the full white paper for technical depth and honest limitations.
