Introduction
Hypertensor is a modular decentralized artificial intelligence platform. Incentivized AI.
Summary
The Hypertensor blockchain uses a NPoS (nominated proof of stake) consensus mechanism where blockchain validators control the incentives and consensus of the decentralized subnets in the network. Subnets are decentralized and distributed AI models validated by thousands of nodes.
Overview
The subnet template's core is similar to Bittorent, a peer-to-peer network across the internet for downloading files. It uses the Kademlia algorithm, a Distributed Hash Table that gives the ability to connect many computers into one network. This is similar to blockchain technology used by well-known blockchains like Ethereum or Polkadot, and hundreds of others. In each subnet, each node validates a decentralized AI model and combines with other nodes in the network doing the same.
Subnets
The Hypertensor LLM subnet template employs a PoS (proof of stake) mechanism and a PoI (proof of inference) mechanism. Before a newly entered node can enter the subnets routing table, it must begin a validation sequence dictated by blockchain validators. This includes an idle stage, where each subnet node must be verified by other subnet nodes to be staked on-chain before joining their routing tables. An inclusion stage, where they now must begin being included in the validators consensus data, or be removed by consensus. A submission stage, where they can become the chosen validator and must take part in the attestation mechanism. Finally, an accountant stage, where they can begin to run the subnets consensus methods, such as PoI, and are also able to begin submitting fault proofs.
Each subnet must be decentralized with each subnet validator having a SHA-256 multihash encoded public key validated by blockchain validators, as well they must be staked on-chain. Each subnet can employ its own consensus mechanisms as long as they abide by on-chain requirements, such as having a valid PeerID, a proof of stake, and the validation sequence mentioned above. While the subnet LLM template focuses on PoS and PoI, other consensus mechanisms, such as PoC (Proof of Computation), PoT (Proof of Training), or others, can be implemented.
Blockchain
Hypertensor is a layer 1 substrate blockchain implementing a NPoS consensus mechanism. Blockchain validators are responsible for incentivizing decentralized AI, securing the network, securing subnets, block creation, and more.
