A cohesive stack, end to end
Peer discovery, a signed compute market, pluggable inference and a BFT ledger, in one flow. Follow a single job from announcement to a globally agreed balance.
One job, five steps
From idle capacity to a balance every node agrees on.
Providers announce capacity
A signed announcement of available units and a price per unit, gossiped over libp2p. No broker.
Buyers submit signed jobs
Price quoted from the provider rate, balance checked, capacity reserved. Nothing is paid yet.
A pluggable backend runs it
A local runner, a provider-API proxy, or an echo backend for testing. Metered per unit.
Consensus settles the payment
The transfer commits in native MATRIX once more than two thirds of validators agree, capped at what was reserved.
Balances are one agreed fact
Committed blocks are SHA-256 hash-linked into one chain every node shares, and can be validated end to end.
A cohesive stack, end to end
From peer discovery to signed settlement, every layer of the Matrix stack is designed to work together.
