How it works
Gennode is a private, torrent-like decentralized compute network focused on one vertical: heavy bio & health computation. You contribute compute by running a node; the network dispatches jobs to nodes; you earn.
For node operators (supply)
- Run a node — start headless with
npx @gennode/node, or download the desktop app (macOS / Windows / Linux) from GitHub Releases. - Connect your wallet — your node identity (keeps the network sybil-resistant and fair).
- Stay online — your machine joins the network and stays online, quietly in your tray.
- Earn $GENNODE — points =
uptime × capacity(completed jobs add points as real compute goes live); points convert to$GENNODEin the airdrop.
What the nodes solve (demand)
When a job arrives, the coordinator routes it to capable nodes:
- DNA & genome analysis — a node runs the job and returns the result.
- Bio-compute — protein folding, genomics, molecule & drug discovery, disease research.
- Bio models — running AI models that analyze genomics and protein data.
Architecture (high level)
| Layer | Role |
|---|---|
| Node app | runs on your machine, contributes GPU + disk, completes jobs |
| Compute | nodes analyze data — DNA, proteins, multi-omics, disease research (roadmap) |
| Data (torrent-like) | encrypted, sharded data served peer-to-peer across nodes (planned) |
| Coordinator | registers nodes, dispatches & verifies jobs, tracks points |
| On-chain (Base) | $GENNODE, rewards, points → airdrop |
v1 focuses on node onboarding + uptime/benchmark points. Real job execution (bio-compute, genomics, protein analysis) rolls out next — see the Roadmap.
