# Atoma node

## Introduction

Atoma is a decentralized cloud compute network for AI that enables:

* **Verifiable Compute**: Transparent and trustworthy AI model execution, for both inference, text embeddings, multi-modality, etc, through Atoma's novel Sampling Consensus algorithm (see Atoma's [whitepaper](https://github.com/atoma-network/atoma-docs/blob/main/papers/atoma_whitepaper.pdf))
* **Private Inference**: Secure processing with strong privacy guarantees, through the use of secure hardware enclaves (see [Atoma's confidential compute paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.13752))
* **Decentralized Infrastructure**: A permissionless network of compute nodes, orchestrated by Atoma's smart contract on the Sui blockchain (see [repo](https://github.com/atoma-network/atoma-contracts))
* **LLM Focus**: Specialized in serving Large Language Models compute.

This repository contains the node software that enables node operators to participate in the Atoma Network. By running an Atoma node, you can:

1. Contribute with your hardware to provide computing power to the network;
2. Earn rewards for processing AI workloads;
3. Help build a more accessible and democratic AI infrastructure.
