what's Gradient Network?
Gradient Network is a decentralized protocol that enables edge computing on the Solana blockchain, creating a peer-to-peer infrastructure for AI workloads. It allows users to contribute idle computing resources through nodes, such as Sentry Nodes, to process and verify AI tasks in a distributed manner. The network emphasizes sovereignty, where participants own and serve intelligence without relying on centralized cloud providers, fostering accessibility and affordability in compute power. The protocol operates via a multi-phase rollout, starting with node setup for earning points toward potential airdrops. Core mechanics include task execution by nodes, cryptographic verification of results, and peer-to-peer communication for sharing updates like model gradients. Backed by investors like Pantera Capital and Sequoia, it aims to build a global, community-powered AI runtime that integrates staking and compute incentives across blockchains.
Gradient Network partners MyShell, exploring intelligent agent operations on distributed AI for efficiency.
