VFTChain introduces Proof of Useful AI Work (PoUAW) - the first consensus mechanism that secures a blockchain through real AI computations. Turn your GPU into a productive asset.
Low-spec hardware? Earn VFT by validating AI computations with minimal requirements.
Cryptocurrency mining wastes enormous computational resources while AI development remains inaccessible due to expensive, centralized cloud computing.
Proof-of-Work consumes electricity equivalent to entire countries, with 99%+ of computation producing no useful output beyond maintaining the ledger.
Training GPT-4 costs millions. GPU access is monopolized by major cloud providers at premium prices.
Advanced AI development limited to well-funded organizations, stifling global innovation.
Replace arbitrary hash puzzles with real AI computations. Every calculation secures the network AND produces valuable results.
Connect idle GPUs worldwide with AI developers. Market-driven pricing cuts costs by up to 70%.
Anyone with a good idea can access world-class compute. From students to startups to researchers.
Train AI models on MRI scans for early disease detection. Process sensitive data with encryption.
Train LLMs, computer vision models, and neural networks without cloud vendor lock-in.
Process terabyte-scale datasets for business intelligence and predictive analytics.

Job marketplace & consensus
Process jobs, earn VFT
Validators ensure the integrity of AI computations by verifying that miners have correctly executed jobs. They form a decentralized verification layer that prevents fraud and ensures quality.
# Validator verification flow
1. Miner completes AI job
2. Result submitted to blockchain
3. Validator committee selected randomly
4. Validators run verification tests:
- Check intermediate checkpoints
- Verify gradient commitments
- Test on hidden validation data
5. 2/3 majority confirms result
6. Rewards distributed:
- 95% to miner
- 5% to validators
# Install VFTChain SDK
pip install vftchain
# Submit an AI training job
from vftchain import Client
client = Client(wallet="phantom_wallet_address")
# Upload dataset to IPFS/Filecoin
dataset_cid = client.upload_data("training_data.tar.gz")
# Submit GPU job
job = client.submit_job(
task_type="training",
model="transformer",
dataset=dataset_cid,
gpu_requirements={
"type": "RTX_4090",
"vram_gb": 24,
"count": 4
},
max_price_per_hour=2.50 # in VFT
)
# Monitor progress
print(f"Job ID: {job.id}")
print(f"Status: {job.status}")
print(f"Assigned to: {job.miner_address}")
# Get results
result = client.get_result(job.id)
model_weights = client.download(result.cid)
A revolutionary consensus mechanism that transforms blockchain security from wasteful computation into productive AI work
AI developers post jobs with dataset CIDs and payment in VFT
GPU providers bid to perform the computation at market rates
Miner trains the AI model or runs inference on their GPU
Validator committee (low-spec hardware users) verifies results using hidden test data
Miner earns job fee + block reward, result stored on IPFS
Intermediate checkpoints and gradient commitments ensure work authenticity.
Random selection from staked validators prevents collusion. 2/3 majority required. Low hardware requirements enable broad participation.
On-chain reputation scores incentivize long-term honest behavior.

Can't mine with your hardware? Join the validator network! Earn VFT by verifying AI computations with minimal GPU requirements and help secure the network.
Simply enable validator mode in the desktop client
Desktop client runs validation tasks automatically
Check miner computations using test data
Receive 5% share of job fees for successful validations
Validation requires minimal computational power compared to mining. Your hardware can handle other tasks while validating.
Once set up, the validator runs automatically in the background. No manual intervention required.
Validators are essential for network security and integrity. Help build a trustworthy AI compute ecosystem.
Earnings depend on network activity and validator performance
