Idle cycles, real recoveries.
Distribrute partitions Brute Brothers' wallet-recovery workload across a fleet of consumer GPUs, high-bandwidth CPUs, and confidential compute hardware. Participants run an attested agent and earn a share when wallets are recovered.
Brute Brothers has a backlog. You have idle hardware.
We recover lost crypto wallets for a 15% success fee, paid only when funds move. Some cases are too large for one operator to clear economically. That's where you come in.
Bounded keyspace
For partial seed phrases, the candidate space is finite. We commit to a published exhaustion window — someone is guaranteed to win.
Cryptographic isolation
On the compute tier, workers never receive the wallet — only a ~40-byte verifier. On the confidential tier, NVIDIA attestation hides everything inside the GPU enclave.
Structured payouts
Hit shares go to the worker whose chunk contained the match. Participation credits go to honest miss-work. KYC-verified, contractually committed.
GPU, CPU, or confidential — workload routing decides.
Different wallet formats stress different hardware. The agent self-benchmarks and only picks up jobs it can run efficiently.
PBKDF2, AES, single-pass hashes. RTX-class GPUs dominate. Throughput: millions of candidates per second per card.
Memory-hard KDFs (scrypt, ROMix). High-DDR Threadrippers and EPYCs beat GPUs on Armory, Coinomi and similar formats.
H100 / H200 / B200 in Confidential Computing mode. Required for BIP39 seed phrase recovery and high-value cases.
Compute or confidential.
Compute runs untrusted on consumer hardware with extract-safe workloads. Confidential runs inside attested enclaves and unlocks high-value cases that have no safe extract.
Idle gaming GPUs and high-bandwidth CPUs earn from extract-safe workloads.
The compute tier runs BTCRecover-style "extract" workloads — a ~40-byte verifier per case that contains no recoverable key material. Workers can find the password but cannot reconstruct the wallet, because the actual seed and private keys live in files we never send. Both GPUs and CPUs are welcome — workload routing depends on the wallet format: PBKDF2/AES-bound formats run faster on GPUs, memory-hard formats (scrypt, ROMix) run faster on high-RAM CPUs.

NVIDIA Confidential Computing for BIP39 seed recoveries and high-value cases.
The confidential tier runs inside NVIDIA Confidential Computing enclaves on H100, H200, and B200 GPUs. The host operating system cannot read the wallet, the candidates being tested, or the recovered secret. Remote attestation cryptographically proves to our server that genuine TEE hardware is running our signed code before any work is dispatched. This is the only tier that accepts BIP39 partial-seed recovery (the seed itself is the secret, so no extract trick exists) and high-value cases above the routing threshold.

- NVIDIA Confidential Computing GPUsH100 (SXM5 / PCIe), H200, B200. CC mode enabled. Recent driver + firmware required.

Four-step lifecycle.
A Brute Brothers customer commissions a recovery. We KYC the customer and define the keyspace scope.
Distribrute slices the candidate space into chunks sized for the target hardware class.
Participants run the attested agent. Chunks are dispatched, processed, and reported back signed.
Customer settles. Hit-share + participation credits paid to participants in the same asset or USDC.
A glimpse at the case pool.
Anonymized, illustrative. Real cases route through KYC-verified participants only, and case IDs are reshuffled per participant.
| Case ID | Wallet | Value range | Scope | Workload | Tier | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BB-01147 | Bitcoin Core | $180k–$240k | 9–11 char password, mixed case + digits | GPU-optimal | compute | open |
| BB-01202 | Blockchain.com | $12k–$18k | 6–10 char password, dictionary-derived | GPU-optimal | compute | in progress |
| BB-01218 | BIP39 partial seed | $410k–$470k | 5 missing words at positions 7 / 9 / 11 / 14 / 22 | TEE-required | confidential | open |
| BB-01233 | MetaMask | $28k–$34k | 8–14 char password, leetspeak hints | GPU-optimal | compute | open |
| BB-01241 | Electrum 2.x | $64k–$82k | 10–12 char passphrase, two-word base | GPU-optimal | compute | in progress |
| BB-01258 | BIP39 partial seed | $1.2M–$1.5M | 4 missing words, unknown positions | TEE-required | confidential | open |

The waitlist is open for both tiers. KYC takes ~24 hours. First jobs dispatch as soon as the participant agreement is signed.
