BuyAIanswersfrompeers.Payperanswer.

Conduit is a serverless, peer-to-peer marketplace for AI inference. Run a model on your machine and earn, or pay a fraction of a cent in USD₮ for an answer from someone who does. No cloud, no account, no middleman — your keys and prompts stay on your device.

Linux ready now · macOS & Windows coming soon.

Test USD₮ on Sepolia — no real money, all of the real architecture.

No servers · no accounts · no middleman — just the real plumbing

  • Serverless

Under the hood

A payment is the access handshake

No API key to provision, no account to create. You open an instant escrow channel with a peer, and a settled USD₮ micro-payment is what unlocks the answer.

Why it's different

Three things a cloud API can’t do

There's no key to provision and no account to create. The whole network runs on a DHT — there is no server in the middle to go down, rate-limit you, or read your prompts.

Instant micro-payments

Open an escrow payment channel once, then pay per answer with signed off-chain EIP-712 vouchers. Answers come back in about two seconds — no waiting on a chain confirmation every time.

Serverless & private

Peers find each other over a distributed hash table with NAT hole-punching. No backend, no relay, no telemetry. Your prompt goes straight to the peer that answers it.

Earn from your hardware

Idle GPU? Run an open-weight model and get paid in USD₮ for every answer you serve. Conduit benchmarks your device and recommends the most profitable model it can run well.

One download is both buyer and seller — flip between them anytime.

Two roles, one app

The same download is both sides of the market

A non-custodial USD₮ wallet is created on first launch and lives only on your device. Flip between buying and selling whenever you like.

As a buyer
  1. 1

    Install Conduit and create your wallet — a 12-word recovery phrase, locked with a password.

  2. 2

    Top it up with free test USD₮ from the in-app faucet link.

  3. 3

    Open the marketplace and pick a seller by reputation, price, and speed — or let Conduit auto-route.

  4. 4

    Ask. An escrow channel opens, and each answer is paid with a signed voucher. Answers in ~2s.

As a seller
  1. 1

    Conduit benchmarks your device and highlights the best model it can run profitably.

  2. 2

    Pick that model (or any other your hardware can handle) and go online.

  3. 3

    Your offer is published to the network; buyers anywhere can discover you over the DHT.

  4. 4

    Serve answers and earn USD₮. Payments settle to your wallet — reputation builds with every request.

Models

What you can run

Open-weight models download on demand and run fully on-device through the QVAC runtime — no API calls leave your machine. Go online as a seller and Conduit benchmarks your hardware, then highlights the most profitable model it can serve smoothly. Buyers just see the answer.

…and larger open-weight models on capable GPUs.

Minimum to buy

Any modern laptop. Buying answers needs almost nothing locally — a small on-device router picks the right seller for you.

To sell

A discrete GPU or Apple Silicon is ideal. Conduit measures your tokens-per-second and only recommends models you can serve well.
