📖Runes Chain Overview

The process of training artificial intelligence (AI) currently demands substantial physical infrastructure resources such as CPU, GPU, and storage memory. The increasing complexity of AI models necessitates vast amounts of big data to achieve optimal performance. This presents a significant challenge for organizations and individuals seeking to develop and apply AI technology in practical scenarios.

For instance, effectively training a natural language model may require hundreds or even thousands of CPU/GPU hours and extensive data storage. Accessing and utilizing AI technology becomes daunting for businesses or individuals lacking sufficient infrastructure resources.

Hence, the necessity for DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) arises. DePIN enables users to rent surplus physical devices like CPUs, GPUs, and storage from other users. For example, if a user utilizes only 50% of their CPU's capacity, they can allow DePin to rent out the remaining 50% for AI model training.

DePIN facilitates cost savings for companies in infrastructure investment while optimizing the utilization of existing resources. This not only reduces expenses but also broadens accessibility to AI technology for numerous organizations and individuals, thereby fostering the widespread development and application of artificial intelligence across society.

DePIN technology establishes a connection between physical infrastructures (such as GPUs) and users via Runes. Simply put, key components include physical facilities managed by providers, an intermediary system linking the facility to the blockchain, and a public ledger overseeing this connection for payment purposes.

• DePIN connects physical facilities, such as GPUs, CPUs, and storage, managed by private vendors to Runes. Providers, who may already own these facilities, contribute them to the DePIN network, thus enhancing the overall network strength, akin to miners contributing computing power to a Proof of Work blockchain.

• Middleware acts as the Runes connection and physical infrastructure, resembling a decentralized Oracle network. It gathers data from facilities and forwards it to the DePIN Network for processing.

• Runes serves as both an administrator and a remittance system. It receives data from the middleware, allocates demand among providers, and calculates rewards based on activities. Rewards are paid out in native tokens of AI projects within the Runes ecosystem.
