Halo
About
Halo is a peer-to-peer marketplace and decentralized network for artificial intelligence model inference. Built on the Base blockchain ecosystem, the platform connects users and autonomous AI agents directly with distributed compute operators serving language and machine learning models. Network participants pay for inference on a per-prompt basis using USDC, bypassing central API keys, subscriptions, and traditional platform permissions. System coordination occurs off-chain to maintain low execution latency, while settlement and verification are recorded on-chain using statistical proofs of execution to validate computation integrity and protect user privacy across node operators.

Operations
Products and/or services of Halo
- AI Inference Marketplace: A permissionless peer-to-peer marketplace connecting clients, AI agents, and compute providers to request and serve artificial intelligence model inference on demand. Transactions settle off-chain for speed and finalize in USDC on the Base blockchain network.
- Verification Engine: A verification protocol employing statistical proof of execution to confirm model inference authenticity. The system generates compact statistical fingerprints of approximately one kilobyte per computation, allowing verification of executed results against expected token distributions.
- Compute Operator Network: A distributed node infrastructure enabling hardware operators to monetise idle compute capacity from consumer computers, dedicated GPU clusters, or existing application programming interfaces. Operators earn automated pay-per-prompt settlements in digital currency for honest output delivery.
- Autonomous Agent Framework: A protocol enabling autonomous software agents equipped with cryptocurrency wallets to independently query, buy, and sell artificial intelligence inference. The framework incorporates on-chain agent identities with queryable reputation records for machine-to-machine commerce.
- Privacy and Security Layers: A multi-tiered privacy mechanism that safeguards user queries through end-to-end encryption, batch fragmentation, and trusted execution environment isolation. Hardware keys remain isolated within enclaves, preventing operators or third parties from reading transmitted prompts.
- Developer Integration Suite: An open protocol suite and API interface allowing software developers to route artificial intelligence queries directly across the peer-to-peer network. Integration requires no user accounts, private API keys, central subscriptions, or software development kit lock-in.
