## Quote — verbatim

> Somebody, a community member, became a provider on Akash Network using Praetor, and now he's writing a guide on how others with, like, compute lying around can... start earning passive income. We're starting to see community take hold of provider engagement.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Celebrating Praetor's simplified provider onboarding; the recurring theme of ordinary people monetizing spare hardware on Akash.
