Smart Contracts
Note that we aim to keep these documents up to date, but they may not always reflect the latest changes in the codebase prior to release on mainnet. If you notice a discrepency, reach out to us: [email protected].
FUNC Token
FUNC is the native utility token of the Function Network. It powers the ecosystem by:
Staking: Required for providers and gateways to participate.
Rewards: Distributed to contributors based on performance.
Governance (Roadmap): FUNC holders influence decisions about the network's evolution.
Providers
Providers supply computational resources for running AI models. They:
Stake FUNC to participate.
Execute AI inference tasks and earn FUNC rewards.
Support specific models by aligning with their staking and performance requirements.
Gateways
Gateways enable users to interact with the network. They:
Stake FUNC to operate.
Route user requests to providers and ensure task execution.
Earn FUNC for their role in connecting users to the network.
Models
AI models define the computational workloads to be executed on the network. Each model:
Specifies computational requirements like shards and compute units.
Requires providers to stake FUNC to support them.
Model Creators
Model creators are responsible for bringing AI models on-chain. They:
Publish Models: Register models on the Function Network, making them available for compute providers to host.
Earn Revenue: Receive a share of the revenue generated when their models are used.
Expand Reach: Gain access to a decentralized network of compute and a growing user base.
Router
The Router acts as the central management hub, connecting providers, gateways, models, and other core components.
Treasury
The Treasury manages FUNC tokens and ensures accurate reward distribution to providers and gateways.
Checkpoints
Checkpoint contracts track contributions and performance over time:
Provider Checkpoints: Monitor provider activity and shards contributed.
Gateway Checkpoints: Track gateway usage and compute units consumed.
