Core Concepts
Learn the fundamental concepts behind NeoEngine’s decentralized compute network.
How It Works
NeoEngine operates as a peer-to-peer marketplace for compute resources. Here’s the high-level flow:
- Providers register their hardware on the Solana blockchain and stake NGNX tokens
- Renters submit jobs specifying their resource requirements
- The Coordinator matches jobs with suitable providers based on requirements, reputation, and price
- Jobs execute in encrypted containers on provider machines
- Results are verified and payment is released from escrow
