For the GPU ecosystem
A decentralized GPU marketplace
No platform account, no central operator holding the money. Providers list GPU capacity on an open registry, clients pay in ARL by the second or through escrow, and results can be checked by staked validators.
How the market fits together
- Discovery: providers register on the open ERC-8004 registry with GPU model and count, GPU memory, vCPUs, memory and a price per second.
- Payment: per use over x402 upto, per-second streams, or escrowed jobs (ERC-8183) for larger work.
- Trust: clients rate providers after paid jobs, and verified jobs are re-executed by a staked validator committee with a challenge window and slashing.
- Openness: every contract, the SDK, the provider node and the validator are open source under Apache-2.0.
Why on Base
Base keeps fees low enough for per-second settlement while inheriting Ethereum security. Every listing, payment and rating is public, so anyone can build a dashboard, a scheduler or a client on top of the same data.
How it works
- Providers register capacity and prices in the ARL app.
- Clients compare listings and ratings on the registry.
- A job is paid per second or funded in escrow, in ARL (escrow also accepts USDC).
- Validators can re-execute the job; the result and the rating are recorded on-chain.
Where it runs today
- The ARL token and the jobs escrow (paid in ARL or USDC) are live on Base Mainnet.
- The provider registry, per-second payments and verified jobs run on the Base Sepolia testnet in the ARL app.
- Early providers are eligible for the Early Users program.
Questions
Who runs the marketplace?
No single operator. Listings, payments and ratings are contracts on Base, and the software for providers, clients and validators is open source.
How are results checked?
For verified jobs, staked validators re-execute the job in a pinned, isolated container and vote; a wrong vote can be challenged and slashed.
