Current release status
Public document hashing and exact integer aggregation are live with signed results. Native consensus, mining, issuance, COMPUTE payments and rewards are inactive. Independent operation is not yet demonstrated.
Purpose and current scope
Compute anywhere. Verify through ComputeNet. ComputeNet is a computation-verification ecosystem, not a conventional cryptocurrency or blockchain product. Today the public service runs two bounded fixed-source workload profiles; broader workloads remain research.
What is not live
Do not infer active consensus, rewards, transaction fees or independent administration from an available website, receipt signatures or historical ledger API.
The layered verification pipeline
Different verification mechanisms answer different questions. The implemented public lane makes a narrow result independently checkable; broader proof systems remain research.
| Boundary | Implementation / evidence | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Identity / package | Recovered ZIP 1 and ZIP 2 tooling | Identifies code, inputs and runtime declarations |
| Execution / replay | Registered Node profiles | Real bounded hashing and exact integer arithmetic |
| Signed evidence | Ed25519 / known policy | Authenticates an execution attestation |
| General proofs | ZK / zkVM / hardware attestation | Research—not qualified guarantees in today’s public service |
Practical procedure
- 1Choose a supported profile and explicitly public input.
- 2Execute fixed source under the qualified runtime boundary.
- 3Compare outputs across separate replay processes.
- 4Verify the signed artifact and recompute the supported result.
Public input → registered package → bounded execution → assignment-bound signatures → output and receipt commitments → portable result / on-device checks
Limits and failure cases
- No arbitrary customer program, AI proof or universal correctness claim.
- A deterministic output can be independently recomputed; administration independence needs separate evidence.
- No synthetic score is substituted when execution or signature validation fails.
