This category covers the infrastructure layer of decentralised AI: the networks and protocols that aim to provide compute, storage and verification without a central operator.
Topics include decentralised GPU and inference marketplaces, proof systems for verifying off-chain computation, storage and data availability layers for model weights and training data, coordination protocols, and the incentive design meant to keep supply available.
The two questions worth asking of any project here are technical and economic. Technically, how is a result verified without trusting the provider, and what does that verification cost. Economically, does the network price below centralised alternatives once verification overhead and reliability are counted.
Neither question has a settled answer across the field, and projects differ enormously in how directly they engage with them. Members should disclose holdings. Nothing here is investment advice. See Crypto x AI for the wider category.
