P2P Network

The P2P network lets one BonzAI Desktop machine serve supported inference to another.

Modes

Mode	Meaning
Local	Work runs only on your machine
Consumer	You deliberately route compatible work to a selected LAN or remote provider
Provider	Your machine advertises selected pipelines and serves accepted work

Discovery

Trusted local providers can be found on the same network. Remote providers use peer information and the configured onchain Provider Registry.

Payments and rewards

BonzAI contains two real provider mechanisms that may be enabled by release configuration:

• direct x402-style signed ETH payments for paid remote inference, with the configured platform fee;

• provider service-time/MintPool reward accounting where those contracts are deployed.

Staked $BONZAI and verified service quality can provide additional trust/routing signals through the v4 contribution economy.

Privacy

Local mode keeps prompts and inputs on your machine. A normal remote provider may see the work it must process. Use only providers you trust unless a supported private/sharded inference mode explicitly protects that workload.
