Conduit
A peer-to-peer marketplace where buyers pay sellers in stablecoin for on-device inference over encrypted links
Conduit is a serverless marketplace where a peer with a spare GPU sells LLM inference to another peer over an encrypted Holepunch link, and a settled USDT payment is the access handshake itself. No platform sits in the middle, model weights never move, and every model runs fully on-device through the QVAC runtime.
Discover, route, pay, run
Peers meet on a Hyperswarm/Holepunch DHT with NAT hole-punching - no server in the middle. An on-device confidence router samples a small local model several times and measures self-consistency to decide whether a prompt is easy enough to answer locally for free, or hard enough to escalate to a paid peer. Escalation opens an escrow payment channel, then settles each answer off-chain with a signed EIP-712 voucher, so the buyer isn't waiting on-chain for every reply. Only once payment clears does the seller's firewall-gated QVAC provider key unlock, and the buyer delegates inference to it directly.
1. Discover - Hyperswarm/Holepunch DHT, NAT hole-punching, no server
2. Route - on-device confidence router: easy prompts answered free & local,
hard/ambiguous ones escalate to a paid peer
3. Pay - escrow deposit + signed EIP-712 voucher, answers return in ~2s
4. Run - payment releases the seller's firewall-gated QVAC provider key;
the model executes on the seller's device, cloud sees nothing
A freeloader (no payment) is refused at the Noise handshake - 0 bytes transferred.Demo video
