The Foundation
for Decentralized AI

We are not competing with any existing AI projects - we link these projects in one easily accessible marketplace. Think booking.com vs hotel chains. Most projects focus on specific AI capabilities, either Data or Inference or real time search. We're the protocol that connects the existing fragmented ecosystem. Using Lysia a developer or an end user has access to all capabilities offered by the specific projects (centralised and decentralised).

Lysia serves as the foundational layer for AI, similar to how TCP/IP connects the internet. Through our innovative bridge architecture, we unify previously isolated worlds - from inference networks to traditional providers, from individual compute to enterprise resources - all accessible through one interface and powered by one token. This practical approach transforms decentralized AI from a concept into reality, enabling true competition while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability.

Unlike traditional providers who lock you into their ecosystem, or decentralized projects focused on building isolated networks, Lysia creates an open marketplace where all AI resources become interoperable. We combine the reliability and ease of use you expect from centralized services with the freedom and cost benefits of decentralization. Users can leverage any combination of providers - from OpenAI to Bittensor networks - while maintaining consistent performance and full control over their data.

Our bridge architecture supports virtually any AI capability: inference networks like Bittensor and Nosana, browser-based compute through WebGPU, local instances via Ollama, provider pools like OpenRouter, and commercial services like OpenAI. For data, we support everything from individual documents to enterprise data lakes, with built-in vectorization and expanding RAG capabilities. Whether through direct integration or our proxy bridges, any compute or data source can participate.

Users gain unprecedented flexibility - switch providers instantly, run parallel requests for reliability, or combine models for optimal results. Developers access all AI capabilities through one unified API, with built-in provider management and quality assurance, as well as one payment method. Enterprises achieve vendor independence and cost optimization through open competition, while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability through our automated failover and performance monitoring. Everyone benefits from reduced costs driven by true market competition.

We implement a multi-layered approach: stake-based verification ensures providers maintain quality standards, continuous performance monitoring enables automated provider selection, and our bridge architecture allows instant failover between providers. The protocol automatically routes requests based on your requirements, while economic incentives and reputation systems maintain high service levels. Users can vet and vote on which providers deserve a good reputation and which ones should be barred from participating and hurting the network.

Privacy and data sovereignty are fundamental to our design. Users maintain complete control over their data, choosing which providers can access it and how it's used. Our protocol includes built-in privacy features, secure data handling, and end-to-end encryption between users and providers. The decentralized architecture eliminates central points of vulnerability, while stake-based verification ensures providers maintain strict security standards.

We provide a comprehensive SDK and API that offers unified access to all protocol resources. Start by routing some traffic through Lysia while keeping your existing setup as backup, then scale up at your own pace. Our SDK supports common AI interfaces and handles provider management automatically. Build anything from chatbots to specialized AI tools while leveraging our entire marketplace of providers.

We offer a full suite of development tools: user-friendly applications (Lysia Chat), comprehensive SDKs, extensive documentation, and integration guides. Our first-party software handles complex operations like vectorization and compute management automatically. Whether you're an individual developer or an enterprise team, you'll find everything needed to build and scale on Lysia, backed by our technical support and community resources.

By connecting diverse providers through standardized interfaces, we enable true price discovery and performance-based competition. Providers compete on merit - price, performance, and reliability - while users maintain complete freedom of choice. Our transparent metrics and automated quality assurance create natural market dynamics that drive innovation and efficiency. This open competition, combined with reduced intermediary fees, leads to better services at lower costs.

LYS serves as the unified currency for all network operations - from accessing services to governance participation. Providers stake tokens as service guarantees, with larger volumes requiring more stake. The token enables efficient resource allocation through market mechanisms and aligns incentives between participants. Through our platform fee pool (10% of transactions), we support network growth and provide incentives for early users.

Whether you have a gaming PC that's idle at night, valuable datasets, or developer expertise, you can contribute and earn rewards. Run AI models directly from your browser using WebGPU, share compute from your local Ollama instance, or provide valuable data that enhances AI capabilities. Our first-party software handles all technical complexities, making participation simple for everyone - from individual contributors to major providers.

Token holders guide protocol evolution through decentralized governance. Propose and vote on changes to parameters, features, and quality standards. The community also directs the use of the platform fee pool, ensuring the protocol grows to serve its users' needs. This democratic approach, combined with stake-based verification, maintains high standards while keeping control with the community.

Sustainability comes from aligned incentives, true decentralization, the power of our community and the ever-growing and exploding availability of SOTA, open source models. Our open marketplace creates powerful network effects where each new participant enhances overall capabilities. Economic incentives and stake-based verification maintain quality standards, while open competition drives continuous improvement. The platform fee pool provides ongoing resources for development, while community governance ensures the protocol evolves to serve real needs.

We're executing our vision systematically - starting with core infrastructure and expanding through strategic partnerships. Our roadmap focuses on enhancing bridge capabilities, launching our own, first-party apps on the protocol (Lysia Chat) and growing the provider network, and developing more powerful tools for participants. From improving real-time data integration to expanding supported technologies, each step is guided by our mission to make decentralized AI the new standard for everyone.
