Infrastructure,
connected.
Direct brings consumers and providers together in peer-to-peer markets for remote execution, with provider discovery, verification, and payment built in.
01 a shared market
Independent infrastructure.
Connected by Direct.
Independent operators have infrastructure to offer. Applications need access to it. Direct brings the two together in a market where consumers have a choice of providers and operators set their own prices.
A market for your capacity.
Operators can offer the infrastructure they run to consumers beyond their existing customers.
Choice across providers.
Consumers can use services from different operators, balancing price with the quality of service they need.
Room for different offerings.
Providers can offer different capabilities within a service, giving consumers access to infrastructure suited to their work.
02 peer-to-peer
Connect straight to providers.
Requests travel from the Direct gateway on your machine to the provider doing the work. Encrypted peer-to-peer connections keep a shared API gateway out of that path.
you
Routing stays with you.
Your gateway chooses where to send requests and keeps connections to suitable providers ready.
Checks take a separate path.
Direct checks provider services without routing your requests through its verification infrastructure.
Providers can change.
The gateway can replace providers as their availability, performance and prices change. Your application keeps using the same local endpoint.
03 the foundation
Different work. Common ground.
A blockchain query and an AI request ask for different work. Both need a way to reach a suitable provider and pay for what it delivers. Direct provides that common ground, while each service defines the work and the protections it supports.
RPC and AI inference use the same Direct gateway and network. Providers bring the infrastructure; the services determine what it can do.
04 independent providers
Bring your infrastructure
to the market.
You run the infrastructure and decide what to offer. Direct gives your blockchain nodes or model infrastructure a way to reach consumers through the network.
Set your price and describe the service. Once the offering meets its requirements, consumers can select it for their requests. Checks continue as it serves work.
The gateway makes your offering reachable over the peer-to-peer network.
