DecentralizedAIinference
An OpenAI-compatible API served by independent GPU nodes that earn $QAIS. Every job settles on-chain — 95% to the node, 5% protocol fee.
How a job flows
Five stages from prompt to payment — coordinated by the gateway, settled on-chain.
Two ways in
Use the AI
Point any OpenAI client at the gateway and call it — streaming, a model picker, and pre-funded credit with a single signature.
For developers →Run a node, earn $QAIS
Got a GPU and Ollama? Install a prebuilt release in ~5 minutes, serve jobs, and earn for every token you stream.
Run a node →A real protocol, not a demo
On-chain settlement
Deposit once, sign one EIP-712 spending cap, then fire thousands of calls — they settle in a single batch transaction with zero per-call wallet txs.
Staking + slashing
Nodes stake $QAIS. A 5-dimension reputation score plus Layer-A semantic sampling catch cheaters; disputes slash stake.
How verification works →Deflationary token
The 5% fee splits 60% ops / 20% stakers / 20% burned. Fixed 1B supply, no mint after launch.
Tokenomics →Prompt privacy
Verification stores hashes + scores only — prompt/output text is never persisted. ~5% of jobs are re-run on oracle infra to catch cheating.
Trust model today: a single trusted gateway does matching + settlement (worst case is bounded — it can only settle at signed prices, never steal deposits). Removing it — P2P mesh, on-chain auction, decentralized oracle — is the roadmap.
How we compare
Purpose-built for LLM inference — not general compute or rendering, and the only one your OpenAI code can call unchanged.
