0G Compute Network

Access affordable GPU computing power for AI workloads through a decentralized marketplace.

AI Computing Costs Are Crushing Innovation​

Running AI models today means choosing between:

  • Cloud Providers: $5,000-50,000/month for dedicated GPUs
  • API Services: $0.03+ per request, adding up to thousands monthly
  • Building Infrastructure: Millions in hardware investment

Result: Only well-funded companies can afford AI at scale.

Decentralized GPU Marketplace​

0G Compute Network connects idle GPU owners with AI developers, creating a marketplace that's:

  • 90% Cheaper: Pay only for compute used, no monthly minimums
  • Instantly Available: Access 1000s of GPUs globally
  • Verifiable: Cryptographic proofs ensure computation integrity

Think of it as "Uber for GPUs" - matching supply with demand efficiently.

Architecture Overview​

0G Compute Network Architecture

The network consists of:

  1. Smart Contracts: Handle payments and verification
  2. Provider Network: GPU owners running compute services
  3. Client SDKs: Easy integration for developers
  4. Verification Layer: Ensures computation integrity

🔐 Trust & Verification​

Verifiable Computation: Proof that work was done correctly

  • TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) for secure processing
  • Cryptographic signatures on all results
  • Can't fake or manipulate outputs
What makes it trustworthy?

Smart Contract Escrow: Funds held until service delivered

  • Like eBay's payment protection
  • Automatic settlement on completion
  • No payment disputes

Quick Start Paths​

👨‍💻 "I want to use AI services"​

Build AI-powered applications without infrastructure:

  1. Install SDK - 5 minute setup
  2. Fund your account - Pre-pay for usage
  3. Send requests - OpenAI SDK compatible

🖥️ "I have GPUs to monetize"​

Turn idle hardware into revenue:

  1. Check hardware requirements
  2. Set up provider software

🎯 "I need to fine-tune AI models"​

Fine-tune models with your data:

  1. Install CLI tools
  2. Prepare your dataset
  3. Start fine-tuning

Frequently Asked Questions​

How much can I save compared to OpenAI?

Typically 90%+ savings:

  • OpenAI GPT-4: ~$0.03 per 1K tokens
  • 0G Compute: ~$0.003 per 1K tokens
  • Bulk usage: Even greater discounts
Is my data secure?

Yes, through multiple layers:

  • TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) processing
  • No data retention by providers
  • Verifiable computation proofs
How fast is it compared to centralized services?
  • Inference: 50-100ms latency (comparable to centralized)
  • Geographic distribution reduces latency
