what's DeepNode AI?
DeepNode AI is a decentralized platform building open intelligence infrastructure at the intersection of AI and crypto. It enables anyone to deploy AI models, contribute GPU compute or data, earn rewards for participation, and help govern the network through community-owned mechanisms. The DIVE platform serves as a gamified onboarding layer, where users connect wallets, complete quests, earn points on leaderboards, and claim badges as proof-of-participation assets. This fosters active engagement and positions contributors for ecosystem rewards, including ties to the native $DN token.
