AITBC — AI Token Blockchain

Decentralized GPU compute marketplace with blockchain-based job coordination, Ollama inference, ZK receipt verification, and token payments.

The Idea

AITBC creates a decentralized marketplace where GPU providers can earn tokens by running AI inference workloads, while clients pay for compute access through a transparent blockchain system. The platform eliminates centralized cloud providers by using cryptographic proofs and smart contracts to ensure fair payment and verifiable computation.

Technical Overview

Core Components:

Blockchain Layer — Proof-of-Authority consensus with transaction receipts
Coordinator API — Job marketplace, miner registry, and payment processing
GPU Mining — Ollama-based inference with zero-knowledge receipt generation
Wallet System — Token management and receipt verification
Exchange Platform — Bitcoin/AITBC trading with order matching

Key Innovations:

Zero-knowledge proofs for verifiable computation receipts
GPU marketplace with capability-based matching
Cryptographic payment settlement without trusted intermediaries
Open-source alternative to centralized AI cloud services

Architecture Flow

Clients submit jobs → Coordinator matches miners → GPU inference executes → 
ZK receipts generated → Blockchain records payments → Tokens transferred

Technology Stack

Backend: FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, systemd services
Blockchain: Python-based nodes with PoA consensus
AI Inference: Ollama with GPU passthrough
Cryptography: Circom ZK circuits, Solidity smart contracts
Frontend: TypeScript, Vite, React components
Infrastructure: Incus containers, nginx reverse proxy
