Gensyn protocol
Overview
Gensyn is a decentralized protocol for coordinating and verifying machine learning computations across a network of untrusted nodes. It enables users to submit AI training tasks that are executed by distributed compute providers, with cryptographic proofs to ensure correct execution. The protocol is designed to lower the barrier to entry for AI training by utilizing global, underutilized hardware.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Gensyn connects to 13 tracked entities, most strongly to a16z Crypto, Ben Fielding, Gensyn Delphi.
