THE NETWORK

The part that does the work.

Three things run underneath everything we build. Storage that proves your files are still there, computing that proves an answer is real, and a public record of who decided what.

HOW IT WORKS

Three jobs, each one checkable.

01

Storage that has to prove itself

Every file gets chopped into pieces and handed to three separate machines. The network keeps asking each one to prove it still holds its piece. A machine that can't answer loses the money it put up to be there.

02

Answers that come with receipts

Ask a model a question and you get back the answer plus a receipt. The receipt shows the work was really done by the model it claims, and it gets checked before the answer ever reaches you.

Answers with signed receipts An answer such as "The diploma is a BSc in Computer Science." comes with a signed receipt recording the model, a hash and the time, and the receipt is checked before the answer reaches you. The diploma is a BSc in Computer Science. Receipt MODEL HASH TIME CHECKED

03

Decisions made in the open

Changes get proposed and voted on in public. No single account can push one through on its own, and no vote can quietly rewrite the rules the network itself runs on.

WHAT RUNS ON IT

Seven pieces, one foundation.

Network: everything settles on SUM Chain Storage proofs, inference receipts and votes all settle on SUM Chain, the shared record everything else settles against. They join into one path and land together in the newest block, and a new block follows every 3 seconds. STORAGE PROOFS INFERENCE RECEIPTS VOTES SHARED RECORD SUM Chain ALL SETTLE HERE, EVERY 3 SECONDS
