How Nodia Works
Nodia is a decentralized AI compute network powered by a global mesh of intelligent nodes. These include both dedicated Nodia hardware (Core, Edge, Atlas) and compatible local devices connected through the Nodia Dashboard.
By combining zero-knowledge proofs, encrypted task execution, and real-time routing, Nodia offers a fully automated and trustless alternative to cloud-based compute — with built-in privacy, low latency, and instant token rewards.
1. Task Submission via Dashboard
All compute jobs are submitted directly through the Nodia Dashboard:
▸ Dashboard Workflow
Visit dashboard.nodia.io
Upload your dataset or input an IPFS / Arweave link
Choose your task type:
Model inference (e.g. image, language, or audio)
Model training (e.g. fine-tuning)
Video rendering, analytics, or other heavy tasks
Set your desired task priority
Allocate NODIA tokens to cover task fees
Monitor task status, proof validation, and payout history in real time
2. Sharding, Encryption & Routing
Once submitted, tasks are automatically split and distributed across the network:
▸ Shard & Encrypt
Large jobs are divided into encrypted shards
Each shard contains only the minimal data required for processing
No raw data is shared end-to-end — ensuring full privacy
▸ Dynamic Node Matching
Nodia matches each task shard to the most suitable available node, based on:
Device class (Core, Edge, Atlas)
Geographic location (for lower latency)
Node availability, performance, and uptime
▸ Secure Delivery
Shards are sent to matched nodes via encrypted gRPC streams
Every node only receives the data and instructions it needs — nothing more
3. Secure Execution with zk-SNARK Proofs
Nodes process tasks locally within trusted execution environments (TEEs) or sandboxed containers:
The workload runs in isolation — shielded from the operator
No input or output data is visible or stored locally
Once the task completes, the node generates a zk-SNARK (~2 KB) to prove the task was executed correctly without revealing any internal data
4. Proof Validation & Instant Rewards
When execution is finished:
The zk-SNARK proof is automatically submitted to the network
It is verified near-instantly
NODIA token rewards are issued automatically to the contributing node's wallet
Reward calculations include:
Task base fee
Node uptime bonus (if applicable)
Staking tier boost (if staked)
No action is required from the user. Everything is instant, trustless, and fully transparent.
Why It Works
Nodia eliminates the bottlenecks and risks of centralized compute:
High hourly fees
Token-based task pricing
Centralized server locations
Distributed global mesh
Vendor lock-in
Open, permissionless participation
No privacy guarantees
zk-SNARK verified execution
Manual billing & claims
Automatic, on-chain rewards
Example Use Cases
Run AI workloads directly from your laptop using a Nodia Core in your home
Process smart city sensor data in real time with nearby Edge nodes
Render short films or video previews using distributed GPU cycles on the mesh
