Prism Network

Prism Network is open infrastructure for metered GPU compute. It connects renters to independent NVIDIA capacity through isolated Kata workspaces, short-lived SSH or Jupyter access, and USDG settlement on Robinhood Chain.

The launch configuration can also broker disposable Vast L40S instances over direct SSH. That path uses provider-reported readiness and settlement evidence; it does not claim the hardware-rooted isolation or attestation of a physical Kata/VFIO node.

Project status

Prism is pre-production software. The local software lifecycle is implemented and tested, but the network is not ready for funded public use.

The following release gates remain external:

• Physical Ubuntu 24.04, NVIDIA, IOMMU, VFIO, Kata and CUDA validation.
• Production Privy, KMS, RPC, Safe, USDG and Robinhood Chain integration.
• Independent smart-contract and infrastructure security audits.
• Applied-host backup, recovery, load and incident-response drills.

Do not use Prism for confidential workloads, regulated data, valuable model weights or production funds. Independent suppliers are not trusted computing environments.

The repository contains:

• apps/web: Next.js account, marketplace, supplier, operator and proof UI.
• services: Rust control plane, access gateway and operations monitor.
• workers: lifecycle, settlement and proof workers.
• node/prismd: independent-node runtime and workspace supervisor.
• contracts: USDG bond, escrow and administration contracts.
• infra: Terraform reference architecture.
• deploy: container, node, Lightsail and observability assets.
• docs: architecture, security boundaries, proof format and release gates.

See architecture, security model and release gates before running the system.

Development

Required toolchains:

• Node.js 24.14
• pnpm 10.34.5
• Rust 1.94.1
• Foundry 1.5
• Docker with Compose
• ripgrep

Install and run the fast validation path:

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm check

The full release gate additionally requires PostgreSQL, Valkey, Anvil, Docker and the security scanners documented in security scanning:

pnpm check:full
gh workflow run full-validate.yml --ref <branch>

Copy only the example environment files needed for your target. Never commit environment files, credentials, deployment outputs or generated artifacts.
