SolKernal
AI Skill Operating System on Solana

Website · Documentation · Main Repository · X

SolKernal is a decentralized AI execution layer built on Solana. It provides a permissionless marketplace where developers publish prompt bundles as executable skills, users pay per execution, and stakers earn a share of protocol fees.

Each skill is a structured prompt template with metadata, pricing, and LLM provider configuration. Skills can be executed from the web app, API, or Solana Blinks — enabling AI actions from Twitter, Telegram, or any URL. Every execution produces an on-chain receipt with full provenance, and skills can call other skills as composable sub-routines.

The protocol uses Solana as its settlement layer, leveraging sub-second finality, sub-cent transaction costs, and the Token-2022 standard for native staking yield and transfer fee distribution. The primary LLM provider is Cloudflare Workers AI, with OpenAI as fallback for complex skills.

AI capabilities today are fragmented across closed platforms, proprietary APIs, and isolated tools. Developers have no open platform to package AI functionality as reusable, monetizable units that users can discover and pay for without intermediaries.

• No open marketplace — AI tools live in walled gardens. There is no permissionless platform to publish, discover, and execute AI skills.
• No micropayment infrastructure — Existing payment rails make per-execution pricing impractical. Solana's sub-cent fees enable pay-per-use AI at any scale.
• No verifiable execution — Without on-chain receipts, users cannot audit or prove how an AI output was produced.
• No builder revenue model — Developers building AI-powered tools lack a direct path to earn from each usage without platform gatekeeping.
• No composability — AI capabilities are siloed. Skills cannot be chained or composed into pipelines.

1. Publish — A developer submits a skill with a prompt template, metadata, category, LLM provider, and price in USDC.
2. Discover — Users browse the marketplace, filter by category, and select a skill.
3. Execute — The user triggers execution via the web app, API, or a Solana Blink link. The connected wallet signs the transaction.
4. Route — SolKernal Core sends the prompt to the configured LLM provider.
5. Deliver — Results are returned to the user. An on-chain receipt records the execution with provenance.
6. Settle — The execution fee is split: 30% to the skill builder, 50% to $SKRN stakers, 20% to protocol treasury.

SolKernal is a full-stack application backed by Solana for settlement and identity, with a modular three-layer architecture.

User Layer — The web app provides interfaces for browsing skills, executing prompts, submitting new skills, and managing stakes. Solana Blinks extend execution to external surfaces without requiring the web app.

Core Layer — The marketplace module handles skill cataloging, search, and discovery. The execution engine receives prompts, routes them to the configured LLM provider, and returns results. The staking dashboard manages stake positions and reward claims. All modules share a Prisma-backed database for the skill catalog, execution logs, user data, and staking statistics.

Infrastructure Layer — The on-chain layer (Solana) hosts the skill registry, $SKRN Token-2022, execution log accounts, and fee splitter logic. The LLM layer uses Cloudflare Workers AI as the primary inference provider with OpenAI as fallback. The database layer uses SQLite in development and PostgreSQL in production.

Tech stack: Next.js 14, TypeScript 5, Tailwind CSS, Prisma 5, @solana/web3.js, Anchor Framework (Rust), Cloudflare Workers AI, OpenAI API.

All repositories are open source under the MIT license. Anyone can publish a skill without approval. Developers can contribute to the core platform, build new skills, or integrate the execution API into their own applications.
