What is TimeTrader?

TimeTrader is a network built on traded time. Just by being here with your browser open, your computer lends the spare moments it would otherwise waste sitting idle — a little processing, a little storage — to a shared fleet of machines all over the world. In return, you earn time ticks. You give time, and you get time back. So leaving the tab open isn't doing nothing — it's quietly working for you.

Here's the trick: instead of just walking away from your computer, press F11 to go full screen and drop into Dream Mode. TimeTrader becomes your background music and your screensaver — a living starfield with the jukebox playing — while it banks time ticks for you the whole time you're away. Your idle hours finally pay you back.

And there's a whole ship to explore while you're aboard: a built-in jukebox, a private message system to reach your friends, news pages, AI-generated pages that write themselves, and games embedded right in. The longer you leave it open, the more you earn — and the more there is to do.

You're part of a crew out here, not just a visitor. Create an account, and your time starts trading the instant you walk in. Welcome aboard.
