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.
Unavailable service
An unavailable/timeout/rejected result is not a successful verification. Refresh once, retain the job ID, inspect the explicit error and do not substitute sample data. CVC signatures are checked under a pinned policy.
Qualification problems
Stop on source/lockfile/runtime/profile drift, unsafe permissions, TLS errors, unexpected staging files, missing recovery access or invalid history. Do not disable certificate checks, namespaces, ownership guards or resource limits to make a test pass.
Support
Use the official volunteer intake for non-sensitive qualification reports. Do not post wallet files, credentials or confidential workload data. Native activation and payments need separate authority.
The real public API contract
The supported integration is HTTPS and explicit public data. There is no invented SDK package or arbitrary-code runtime behind these examples.
| Boundary | Implementation / evidence | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GET /api/public-work/health | No body | Gateway and pinned-policy observation, not worker uptime |
| POST /api/public-work/jobs | kind, input, public_data_consent:true | Accepts registered bounded public work |
| GET /api/public-work/jobs/:id | Actual returned job_id | Pending, failure or verified signed result |
| Unavailable / invalid request | Actual HTTP error | Never a fake receipt or healthy fallback |
Practical procedure
- 1POST a non-confidential input and inspect the actual response.
- 2Retain job_id; poll with a bounded retry policy if pending.
- 3Treat verified status as a claim to check, not a proof by itself.
- 4Download complete evidence and verify it against the known policy.
curl --fail --show-error https://www.compute-net.org/api/public-work/jobs \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"kind":"integer-aggregate","input":{"values":["12","-3"]},"public_data_consent":true}'
# Then GET /api/public-work/jobs/YOUR_ACTUAL_JOB_ID
# Preserve pending/errors; verify the final signed result.Limits and failure cases
- Never submit keys, credentials, personal data or confidential inputs.
- Document input is bounded to 64 KiB; vectors to 1,000 canonical integer strings, each ≤32 characters.
- This API does not authorize or perform COMPUTE settlement.
