The peer-to-peer market for compute and inference
Matrix turns idle machines into a global marketplace. Buyers pay for LLM compute and API responses in native MATRIX, settled through a fast leader-based BFT Layer 1, so every balance is one globally agreed fact, not a private per-node number.
The wMATRIX bridge is live and reconciled
50,000,000 wMATRIX is held in the immutable founder vault against exactly the same amount of native MATRIX in escrow. Locks start at 100 MATRIX, need 3 of 3 attestor signatures, and you submit every Base transaction and pay its gas yourself. There is no relayer and no fiat peg.

One stack, six products
From a signed compute market to a fast BFT ledger, every layer of Matrix works together. Explore each product to see how it fits the whole.
Compute Marketplace
Idle machines announce capacity and pricing over the P2P network, and buyers discover them and submit signed compute jobs that settle in native MATRIX.
MATRIX Token
The native coin of the Matrix L1 and the single source of truth for balances, capped at 1,000,000,000 whole MATRIX with a 1:1 bridged wrapped mirror.
Consensus
A fast leader-based BFT Layer 1 with round-robin leaders, so every balance is one globally agreed, hash-linked fact.
LLM Inference
A pluggable backend: run models locally with an Ollama-style runner, test with a GPU-free echo backend, or proxy an OpenAI-compatible provider API.
Matrix Console
A Tauri + React + Vite desktop app that connects to a local matrixd node to drive providers, jobs, the MATRIX wallet, consensus, and inference.
matrix CLI
A command-line ops tool that talks to a running node over its gRPC market API to manage providers and jobs, read balances, and sign MATRIX transfers.
Every wrapped token has native collateral behind it
wMATRIX is a mirror, not a second currency. It is minted only against native MATRIX moved into consensus-held escrow, and the numbers below are readable on Base and on the Matrix L1 without trusting this page.
What secures a mint
The attestor committee and its threshold are constructor values on the deployed contract. They cannot be edited, and they are a separate security domain from the native validator set, so validators joining or leaving the chain never changes who can authorize a mint.
- 3 of 3 independent attestor signatures per mint, fixed at deployment
- Every signature is recovered against the contract digest before the browser simulates
- Burns release native MATRIX only after validators observe the confirmed Base event and order it through consensus
- Changing the committee would require a new deployment and a published migration, not a settings change
What the founder allocation cannot do
The founder allocation is fully collateralized and sits in an immutable vesting vault. It is linear over five years from the recorded start with a one-year cliff, so nothing is releasable before that cliff and no single unlock can arrive early.
- Held by the vault contract, not an operator wallet
- One-year cliff, then linear release across a five-year total
- Twenty percent vested at the cliff, by the schedule itself
- Backed 1:1 by native escrow, at an exact 1e9 decimal conversion
Anyone can check the backing
The invariant is not a dashboard reading. A node refuses to return a snapshot at all when its own accounting and its real escrow balance disagree, so the command below either prints matching figures or fails. Compare the erc20 figure with totalSupply() on the contract and the two must be equal.
- Escrow may lead supply while a committed lock awaits its mint
- Escrow must never lag supply; that would be uncollateralized wMATRIX
- A lock pays no protocol fee, so escrow receives the full amount
Where the supply actually sits
The mint ceiling is a limit rather than a balance. The unminted remainder below is capacity that would still have to be collateralized by locking native MATRIX first, so it is not tokens waiting to be released.
Check it yourself
The launch record lists the source revision, verified contract addresses, raw constructor arguments, the founder ceremony, and the reconciliation snapshot at the stated heights. Reading it is the only reason to believe any of the above.
wMATRIX has no USD, fiat, or stablecoin peg. Any exchange or DEX price is market-discovered and can move freely. You pay your own Base gas for every EVM transaction; there is no relayer or gas sponsorship.
Follow one job, end to end
Idle capacity in, a signed job through, one agreed balance out.
