What is Infernet?
Exploring Ritual’s Lightweight Library
Ritual’s technical architecture consists of different layers. Let’s have a look how its tech stack is organized and which components are part of it.
Overview of Ritual’s Tech Stack
Ritual’s stack is organized into the Ritual Coprocessor – consisting of GPUs, a VM, and the node set – as well as Infernet, the protocol’s first production implication.
In this article, we are taking a look at Infernet.
Infernet
Infernet is the first production implementation of the Ritual protocol. Smart contracts can request Infernet to compute an output with on-chain proof.
What is Infernet’s Primary Application?
Infernet’s primary application is in servicing ML Inference workloads. With Infernet, users can do the following:
Users can build and host ML models, deploy them to Infernet nodes, and create subscriptions to consume inference outputs and optional succinct execution proofs (for classical ML models that fit within a circuit) from smart contracts on-chain.
