Encryption at Rest: Sensitive data stored on our servers is encrypted using AES-256, ensuring that it remains secure even in the event of a breach.
Security Audits and Penetration Testing:
Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits, both internally and through third-party experts, to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
Penetration Testing: Our platform undergoes periodic penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks and ensure that our defenses are robust.
Smart Contract Security:
Formal Verification: Our smart contracts undergo formal verification to mathematically prove their correctness and security.
Bug Bounties: Compute Labs will run bug bounty programs to incentivize security researchers to identify and report vulnerabilities in our code.
Blockchain Integration Details
Solana Blockchain: We leverage Solana for its unparalleled performance, capable of handling thousands of transactions per second with minimal fees. Solana's Proof of History (PoH) consensus mechanism ensures fast and secure transaction processing.
Smart Contracts in Rust: Our smart contracts are written in Rust and will be first deployed on Solana. These contracts manage the minting, transfer, and staking of GPU Non-Fungible Tokens (GNFTs), as well as the distribution of yields in $AIFI.
Decentralized Storage: We utilize decentralized storage solutions like Arweave to securely store metadata and other critical information associated with GNFTs.
Future Chain Integration: Following our Solana launch, we are strategically expanding to additional blockchain networks such as NEAR and Monad. This expansion will leverage NEAR's unique features, particularly its Chain Signatures technology, which facilitates seamless cross-chain operations.
GPU Authenticity Validation
At Compute Labs, we employ a multi-faceted approach to rigorously validate the authenticity of our GPU real-world assets (RWAs) that underpin each GNFT. This ensures that every GPU within our network is legitimate, operational, and capable of generating the expected yields and rewards for our GNFT investors. Our validation process includes:
Hardware Specs Verification:
We implement robust hardware-based validation techniques to authenticate the physical presence and specifications of each GPU. This comprehensive approach involves:
Unique Hardware Identifiers: Utilizing NVIDIA's System Management Interface (nvidia-smi) to extract and verify unique GPU identifiers such as serial numbers and PCIe IDs.
Specification Verification: Leveraging open-source tools like GPU-Z in conjunction with nvidia-smi to cross-validate GPU specifications, including CUDA core count, memory size, and clock speeds.
Cryptographic Signatures: Implementing a custom signing process that combines hardware-specific data with time-stamped challenges to create unforgeable cryptographic proofs of GPU presence.
Temporal Validation: Implementing periodic re-validation processes to ensure the continued presence and performance of the GPU over time.
AI Workload Verification:
We employ a small standardized machine learning training task to validate GPU authenticity and performance so we can prevent GPU spoofing and detect GPU degradation:
Benchmark Model: Utilizing a compact, yet computationally intensive neural network model designed to stress-test GPU capabilities.
TFLOPs Validation: Measuring the GPU's performance in Tera Floating Point Operations per Second (TFLOPs) during the training task execution.
