SkyCloud
SkyCloud is a decentralized cloud network that allows devices to share idle NPU power for collaborative AI training and inference.
Core Concepts
Decentralized Compute
SkyCloud turns every device into a potential compute node:
- Idle NPUs: Share when not in use
- Privacy Preserving: Federated learning, data never leaves device
- Token Rewards: Earn SkyTokens for compute contributions

Collaborative Training
Train large models across thousands of devices:
# SkyCloud training job
job = SkyCloud.Job({
model: "deepcomet-7b",
dataset: "web_corpus_v3",
nodes: 1000,
privacy: "differential_privacy",
reward: "sky_tokens"
})
job.start()Inference at Scale
Distributed inference for low latency:
# Deploy model to edge
endpoint = SkyCloud.deploy({
model: "deepcomet-1b",
regions: ["us-east", "eu-west", "ap-south"],
min_latency: "10ms"
})Token Economics
| Action | Reward | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 hour NPU time | 100 ST | - |
| 1GB bandwidth | 10 ST | - |
| Training job | - | 1000 ST/hour |
| Inference | - | 10 ST/request |
Roadmap
- Testnet: Q4 2026 — Beta network with 100 nodes
- Mainnet: Q2 2027 — Production network launch
- Scale: Q4 2027 — 10,000+ active nodes
The world's compute, shared.
