Key Concepts
Jobs
Jobs are the fundamental unit of computation on AITBC. They represent AI tasks that need to be executed by miners.
Smart Contracts
AITBC uses smart contracts for:
- Marketplace operations
- Payment processing
- Dispute resolution
- Governance
Proofs & Receipts
All computations generate cryptographic proofs:
- Execution Proofs: Verify correct computation
- Receipts: Proof of job completion
- Attestations: Multiple validator signatures
Tokens & Economics
- AITBC Token: Native utility token
- Job Payments: Pay for computation
- Staking: Secure the network
- Rewards: Earn for providing services
Development Stack
Core Technologies
- Blockchain: Custom PoS consensus
- Smart Contracts: Solidity-compatible
- APIs: RESTful with OpenAPI specs
- WebSockets: Real-time updates
Languages & Frameworks
- Python: Primary SDK and ML support
- JavaScript/TypeScript: Web and Node.js support
- Rust: High-performance components
- Go: Infrastructure services
Tools & Libraries
- Docker: Containerization
- Kubernetes: Orchestration

Security Considerations
Smart Contract Security
- Follow established patterns
- Use audited libraries
- Test thoroughly
- Consider formal verification
API Security
- Use API keys properly
- Implement rate limiting
- Validate inputs
- Use HTTPS everywhere
Key Management

- Use hardware wallets
- Implement multi-sig
- Regular key rotation
Performance Optimization
Job Optimization
- Minimize computation overhead
- Use efficient data formats
- Batch operations when possible
- Profile and benchmark
Cost Optimization
- Optimize resource usage
- Use spot instances when possible
- Implement caching
