Aight

Your Hardware, Their Intelligence, Our Network.

Aight is a hackathon-grade DePIN marketplace for local LLM inference. Operators stake native ETH on Base Sepolia, expose an Ollama-backed endpoint, and serve OpenAI-compatible requests through the Aight Gateway. Users lock prepaid inference hours in escrow and receive an AIGHT_API_KEY for Cursor, OpenClaw, or any OpenAI-compatible client.

gateway/     FastAPI and LiteLLM OpenAI-compatible proxy
operator/    Local operator CLI workspace
frontend/    Next.js Pulse dashboard workspace

Current MVP Status

• contracts/ contains the native ETH AightRegistry contract, Foundry tests, Base Sepolia config, and deployment script.
• gateway/ contains the FastAPI proxy scaffold, dummy operator endpoint, API-key issuance flow, LiteLLM routing, and WebSocket telemetry.
• operator/ and frontend/ are reserved for the next implementation phases.

Contracts

cd contracts
forge install OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts foundry-rs/forge-std
Copy-Item .env.example .env
forge test

Deploy to Base Sepolia:

forge script script/DeployAightRegistry.s.sol:DeployAightRegistry --rpc-url base_sepolia --broadcast --verify

Gateway

cd gateway
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install -r requirements.txt
Copy-Item .env.example .env
uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8787

The gateway exposes:

• POST /admin/operators to register a hackathon operator endpoint.
• POST /admin/api-keys to issue an AIGHT_API_KEY for a funded escrow.
• POST /v1/chat/completions for OpenAI-compatible inference.
• WS /ws/telemetry for token flow events.
• POST /dummy/v1/chat/completions for local proxy testing.
