🌌 Welcome to Ciro Network: The Future of Verifiable AI
We’re so glad you’re here. Whether you’re a developer, GPU provider, researcher, or just curious about the future of decentralized intelligence, you belong in the Ciro community. This is a place for everyone who believes that AI should be open, trustworthy, and accessible to all.
✨ A Vision Born from the Real World
Ciro wasn’t born in a hackathon or a whitepaper. It was born on the factory floor—where milliseconds and margins matter, and where the cost of compute can make or break innovation. When our team faced $60,000/month AWS surges running computer vision for Latin American factories, we had a choice: accept the status quo, or build something better.
We chose to build. First for ourselves. Now, for the world.
🕸️ A Living, Global Supercomputer
Ciro is not a company. It’s a living network—a digital commons—where anyone can:
- Contribute: Share your GPU and earn, no matter where you are.
- Build: Launch AI apps, models, and experiments without permission.
- Verify: Trust every result, because every computation is cryptographically proven.
- Govern: Help steer the network’s future, as a true community owner.
We are weaving together the world’s idle compute into a single, unstoppable force for progress.
🛡️ Verifiable AI for a Trustless World
Today’s AI is a black box. Ciro brings ZK-ML (Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning) to the world:
- Every inference, every result, every proof is mathematically verifiable.
- No more “just believe us”—now you can check for yourself.
- This is AI you can trust with your business, your research, your life.
🌍 Power to the People
Ciro is for everyone:
- GPU Providers: Turn your hardware into a source of income and impact.
- Developers: Build the next generation of AI—open, censorship-resistant, and community-owned.
- Users: Access cutting-edge models without being locked into walled gardens.
- Dreamers & Doers: Shape the network, propose ideas, and vote on its direction.
We believe the future of AI should be written by the many, not the few.
⚡ Why Ciro Matters
- 🔬 Scientific Sovereignty: Run AI workloads without vendor lock-in, geographic restrictions, or opaque pricing.
- 🌍 Economic Liberation: Redistribute value to GPU owners worldwide, creating a more efficient, fair market.
- 🛡️ Verifiable Truth: Every computation is proven correct—no trust required.
- 🚀 Unstoppable Innovation: When compute is abundant and affordable, innovation flourishes.
📊 The Reality Check
| Provider | Cost per H100-hour | Availability | Verification | Sovereignty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWS/Azure | $4.10-6.98 | Geographic limits | Trust-based | Corporate controlled |
| Render | ~$2.50 (OBH) | 3D rendering focus | Watermarking | Partial governance |
| Akash | ~$1.15 | General compute | Reputation | Cosmos governance |
| io.net/Spheron | $1.87-2.40 | ML optimization | Proof-of-work | Token governance |
| Ciro Network | $1.40-2.20 | Global mesh | ZK-proven | Community owned |
Ciro's strategic advantage: While competitors compete on price or specialization, Ciro enables provably correct computation—unlocking new markets like DeFi AI and on-chain gaming that require cryptographic guarantees.
Performance Metrics That Matter
- 15,000 transactions per second achieved in optimized testnet conditions (Mainnet: ~127 TPS sustained)
- Sub-200ms latency demonstrated in distributed test environments
🛠️ Built for Reality
Ciro isn’t theory—it’s running in the wild:
- Industrial Vision: Object detection on assembly lines
- Medical AI: HIPAA-compliant diagnostic imaging
- Financial Models: Risk analysis for emerging markets
- Research Computing: Training smaller models on federated data
Each use case taught us what actually matters: reliability, verifiability, and economic sustainability.
🎯 The Ciro Difference
- 🧠 ZK-ML Verification: Every AI computation generates a STARK proof of correctness, verified on Starknet in ~2 seconds.
- ⚡ Hybrid Orchestration: Smart routing between on-premises, edge, and network resources based on latency, cost, and security requirements.
- 💎 Economic Design: Token-curated registry of compute providers with slashing for malicious behavior and rewards for performance.
