We're on the cusp of something huge—we're about to democratize access to AI infrastructure. We're unlocking the ability for anyone to participate and earn from the AI revolution.
Only three more sleeps until tokenized GPUs are available to the public for the very first time. ⏰
Coming soon to Silicon: Chia embedded wallets with one-click switching between @Base and @chia_project.
