Distributed Compute Network Lilypad Launches Incentivised Testnet to Democratise AI
IncentiveNet presents a unique opportunity to lay the groundwork for essential core compute infrastructure crucial for the viability of open, decentralised AI and to challenge the dominance of cloud oligopolies. Participants are encouraged to contribute to network stability and establish sufficient nodes at launch. This entails thorough testing to ensure resilience, detect bugs and vulnerabilities, and validate operational and game theory logic. Participants will be rewarded in the form of Lilybit_ credits, which will be redeemable for the Lilypad ERC20 Token at Mainnet Launch.

The Lilypad team champions compute as the cornerstone of an open web and AI framework striving to unlock access to a universal compute layer as a public good. Developers will be able to seamlessly execute internet-scale computation tasks from smart contracts (on any EVM-compatible chain), CLI, or traditional SaaS workflows. Use cases span AI, ML, gaming, DeFi, and DeSci. Serving as a coordination platform, Lilypad unites user demand for compute services with providers, offering new revenue streams and optimised efficiency to hardware businesses.
Originally incubated at Protocol Labs and built on Bacalhau , a peer-to-peer protocol that enables decentralised communication between computers, Lilypad is unlike other systems, where access to high-powered compute hardware is limited and costly. Instead, Lilypad endeavours to lower entry barriers and enable new use cases for developers and node providers through a permissionless and distributed job-based system. Lilypad provides a compute coordination platform and operates as the backend for compute where users, protocols, providers and projects can interact and feed into an open infrastructure stack to extend global access to efficient compute power.

Lilypad is a serverless, distributed compute network aiming to bring internet-scale data processing to AI and next-gen technologies. Unleashing idle processing power by leveraging decentralised infrastructure networks, Lilypad unlocks a new marketplace for compute, making AI more accessible, efficient, and transparent for developers and users.
