sardene.

For creators: your audience's machines can pay you directly.

One dedicated fan running Sardene on normal mode can be worth the same revenue as thousands of ad views — without ads, without a middleman, and without asking viewers for a credit card. Fans donate spare compute; the mining pool pays your wallet. Sardene never touches the money and takes no cut.

Your link and badge

You do not need anyone's permission to receive donations. Publish your Monero address on a page you control, and donors can point Sardene at it.

Build your one-click link below. It is generated in your browser — nothing is sent to us — and it works even if you host it somewhere else.

Monero address

Paste your public Monero address only (95 or 106 characters). Never paste a seed phrase or private key.

Label Suggested preset for donors

Shareable download link — best for social posts, emails, and websites.

Open-in-app link — works in Discord, email, and anywhere else that only linkifies https:// URLs.

HTML button snippet — paste this into your site.

Embeddable badge — preview and copy the snippet.

Markdown badge — for READMEs, GitHub, or forums.

Download the badge image to host it yourself.

You can also declare the address on your own page with <meta name="sardine:address" content="...">. See the whitepaper for the full convention.

Wallet safety for creators

Sardene only ever needs your public Monero address. That is the long string that starts with 4 (standard address) or 8 (integrated address) and is 95 or 106 characters long. Anyone can see it; that is the point.

Never paste into any website or send to anyone:

Your seed phrase (usually 24 or 25 words)
Your private spend key
Your private view key

These control your funds. If someone asks for them to "set up donations" or "verify your wallet," they are scamming you. Sardene will never ask for them.

Getting a wallet

Official Monero GUI Wallet — desktop, full node or remote node.
Feather Wallet — lightweight desktop wallet.
Cake Wallet — iOS, Android, and desktop.
Monerujo — Android only.

Don't have a wallet yet?

Sardene includes an optional, local wallet generator. It creates a Monero keypair on your device, shows you the seed phrase once, and never transmits it. Write it down and keep it offline. If you prefer, use one of the third-party wallets above instead.

Third-party exchanges (not affiliated with Sardene)

Mined XMR lands in your wallet. To convert it to local currency, you use a third-party exchange or broker. Availability depends heavily on your country, so verify what works where you live.

Kraken — major exchange with XMR markets; verify availability in your jurisdiction.
getmonero.org merchants & exchanges list — neutral directory of wallets, exchanges, and brokers that support Monero.

Sardene has no partnership, referral deal, or integration with any wallet or exchange. These links are purely informational.
