COMPUTE PROVIDERS
Kronex creates an open marketplace for computational resources.
Applications, companies, developers and autonomous agents will be able to request computing capacity from independent providers.
01 · WHAT THIS PROVIDER DOES
What this provider does
Provides CPU, GPU or specialized computation.
Providers monetize unused or dedicated hardware. Buyers access compute without relying on a single centralized infrastructure operator.
An order fans out to the providers able to serve it; one is selected on the buyer's requirements, not on price alone.
02 · WHAT ORDERS IT RECEIVES
What orders it receives
Compute markets may include
- AI inference
- GPU computation
- AI agent workloads
- model execution
- rendering
- ZK proving
- batch processing
- Proof-of-Work computation
- specialized computing hardware
03 · REQUIREMENTSSpecification pending
Requirements
Indicative until specified. These are the categories a compute provider is expected to satisfy, not the values it must meet.
- Hardware
- The class of hardware offered and how it is described to the market.
- Availability
- The uptime a provider commits to for the duration of an order.
- Region
- Where the hardware is, for orders that constrain it.
- Collateral
- What is staked against the delivery a provider accepts.
Requirements will be published with the provider framework.
04 · HOW IT IS PAID
How it is paid
Compute fees are one of the protocol's fee sources. A provider is paid for the workload it completes, settled against the verified result.
05 · HOW IT IS MEASURED
How it is measured
- uptime
- successful executions
- response time
- delivery accuracy
- collateral
- execution quality
Applications can automatically choose providers according to their own requirements.
06 · RISKS AND OBLIGATIONSSpecification pending
Risks and obligations
A provider commits hardware for the duration of an order and collateral against the delivery it accepts. Settlement follows the verified result, and a provider that fails to deliver is exposed to economic penalties where appropriate.
The penalty mechanism is not designed.
- hardware committed for the order
- collateral at stake
- penalties where appropriate
