Decentralized compute
that actually works
The infrastructure layer for a new kind of cloud - open, affordable, and verifiable. Built on real Kubernetes. Secured by smart contracts. Powered by a global provider network.
What is LinqProtocol?
LinqProtocol is a decentralized compute marketplace that connects developers with compute providers through smart contracts. Unlike other "decentralized compute" projects that are little more than whitepapers and testnets, LinqProtocol runs production workloads today.
The platform consists of three layers working together:
Everything you need for production
Real infrastructure, not demos.
Template Marketplace
50+ production-ready templates. LLM UIs, databases, monitoring tools - deploy with one click.
Kubernetes Runtime
Real Kubernetes with multi-pod deployments, persistent volumes, and horizontal scaling.
Virtual Machines
Full VMs via KubeVirt with SSH access. Bring your private key and treat it like any cloud.
Aura Code
AI-powered dev environments with Docker sandboxes, framework scaffolding, and 3 domain slots.
On-Chain Escrows
EIP-712 compliant escrow contracts. Providers get paid when they deliver.
Provider Registry
All providers register on-chain with verified capacity and pricing. Trust the math.
Enterprise Networking
Argo Tunnels, Istio ingress, cert-manager TLS, Istio service mesh.
Full Observability
Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, Loki logs. Fortune 500-grade monitoring.
Blockchain API
RESTful API for all on-chain operations. Create escrows, query providers programmatically.
How the layers work together
Real-time visibility
Every deployment gets Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, and Loki logs out of the box. No setup, no configuration - just instant observability.
- CPU, memory, and network metrics
- Streaming logs with search
- Provider uptime tracking
Web Application
The dashboard is your control center. Browse templates, configure deployments, fund escrows, and monitor your apps.
Central Orchestrator
The control plane orchestrates containers across the provider network. Handles scheduling, secret injection, and lifecycle management.
Specialized Runtime
Each provider runs the LPStack - Kubernetes with GitOps (FluxCD), enterprise networking (Istio, Cloudflare), and full observability.
Smart Contracts
Escrow contracts hold funds until work is complete. The provider registry maintains an auditable record of all providers.
Where we are today
LinqProtocol is live and running production workloads. During alpha, we operate a curated provider fleet to ensure reliability while decentralized provider onboarding is finalized.

The only serious player in decentralized compute
Let's be honest: most "decentralized compute" projects are vaporware. They have whitepapers, not products. Testnets, not customers. Marketing, not infrastructure.
LinqProtocol is different:
Not homebrew containers. The same orchestration system that runs Google, Spotify, and Airbnb.
Network tunnels, TLS certificates, service mesh. Your apps are reachable without a PhD in networking.
On-chain escrows that actually protect both parties. Not "trust us" handshakes.
Production apps running today, not demos scheduled for Q4 2027.
