# Gigabee

> Gigabee is a decentralized AI inference network. Users chat with Bee — an AI assistant powered by a global network of contributor GPUs. GPU owners earn Honey (paid in USDC on Solana) for serving inference jobs. The network is built on privacy by design: prompts are never stored.

## About Gigabee

Gigabee connects people who want to use AI with people who have spare GPU compute. Instead of relying on a single data center, every AI request is routed to a volunteer GPU worker anywhere in the world. Workers earn cryptocurrency (USDC on Solana) called Honey for every job they serve.

## AI Models (Bee)

Gigabee's AI assistant is called Bee. Three tiers are available:

- **Bee Nano** (5 credits / $0.05 per message) — lightweight, fast responses
- **Bee Hover** (10 credits / $0.10 per message) — general-purpose chat
- **Bee Glide** (15 credits / $0.15 per message) — highest quality, complex reasoning
- **Bee DAL** (20 credits / $0.20 per image) — AI image generation, 1024×1024 PNG

Credits: 1 credit = $0.01 USD. New users receive 10 free credits on signup.

## Key Features (Live)

- Chat with Bee AI — streaming responses, conversation history stored in browser only
- Image generation via Bee DAL — 20 credits per 1024×1024 PNG image
- Browser GPU workers — earn Honey from your browser tab using WebGPU (no install)
- Native GPU workers — run the Gigabee worker script with Ollama on any NVIDIA/AMD GPU
- Honey earnings — workers earn 75% of the credit value per job (85% with staking, Phase 2)
- USDC withdrawals — Honey paid to any Solana wallet on-chain
- Referral program — earn 5% of referee credit purchases for 12 months
- Public OpenAI-compatible API — POST /api/v1/chat/completions with SSE streaming
- Privacy by design — no prompt storage, no message logging, no KYC

## How Workers Earn

1. Connect GPU via browser (WebGPU) or native script (Ollama + Node.js)
2. When a user sends a chat message, the orchestrator assigns the job to an eligible worker
3. Worker runs inference locally and streams tokens back
4. Worker earns 75% of the credit value charged to the user
5. Earnings mature after 24 hours and become withdrawable as USDC on Solana

Example: a Bee Glide job (15 credits = $0.15) earns the worker $0.1125.

## Privacy

- Prompts are never stored on Gigabee servers
- Conversation history lives in the user's browser (localStorage only)
- Job metadata is recorded (model used, timestamp, credits charged) but not message content
- No KYC required for chat or worker registration
- Authentication via Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare) — no passwords, no email required

## Technology

- Frontend: React + Vite, Tailwind CSS, deployed at gigabee.io
- Backend: Node.js + Express, Socket.io for real-time streaming
- Database: PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM
- Auth: Solana wallet signatures, Bearer token sessions
- Payments: USDC on Solana mainnet, on-chain verification
- Worker protocol: Socket.io (/hive namespace), Ollama for native, WebGPU for browser
