AITBC (AI Training & Blockchain Computing) is a decentralized platform that combines blockchain technology with AI/ML computing resources. It enables privacy-preserving AI computations with verifiable results on the blockchain.

Key Features

• Privacy-preserving AI computations with zero-knowledge proofs
• Decentralized GPU marketplace for AI/ML workloads
• Blockchain-based verification and receipt system
• Hybrid Proof-of-Authority/Proof-of-Stake consensus
• Native token (AITBC) for payments and staking

Use Cases

• Private AI inference without data exposure
• Verifiable ML model training
• Decentralized GPU resource sharing
• Cryptographic proof of computation

2. Architecture

AITBC consists of multiple components working together to provide a complete AI blockchain computing solution.

• Rust 1.70+ (for blockchain node)

Quick Start with Docker

# Clone the repository
git clone https://gitea.bubuit.net/oib/aitbc.git
cd aitbc

# Start all services
docker-compose up -d

# Check status
docker-compose ps

Development Setup

# Backend services
cd coordinator
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m coordinator.main

# Frontend
cd website/marketplace
npm install
npm run dev

# Blockchain node
cd blockchain
cargo run

4. APIs

Coordinator API

RESTful API for job submission and management

# Submit a job
POST /api/v1/jobs
{
  "type": "inference",
  "model": "llama3.2",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "Hello, AITBC!"
  }
}

# Get job status
GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}

# Get job result
GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}/result

Blockchain RPC

JSON-RPC API for blockchain interaction

# Get latest block
curl -X POST http://localhost:9080 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"get_head","params":[],"id":1}'

# Submit transaction
curl -X POST http://localhost:9080 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"send_tx","params":[tx],"id":1}'

WebSocket API

Real-time updates for blocks, transactions, and jobs

# Connect to WebSocket
ws://localhost:9081/ws

# Subscribe to events
{
  "method": "subscribe",
  "params": ["new_blocks", "job_updates"]
}

Consensus Mechanism

Hybrid PoA/PoS consensus provides:

• Fast finality: Blocks confirmed in seconds
• Energy efficiency: No proof-of-work mining
• Security: Multi-layer validation

Tokenomics

AITBC token utilities:

• Payment for AI computations
• Staking for network security
• Governance voting rights
• Reward distribution

8. Troubleshooting

Common Issues
