The PAI3 Network: Sovereign Physical Infrastructure for Accountable Intelligence

PAI3 Network

The PAI3 Network is a decentralized, sovereign AI infrastructure anchored by a finite mesh of 3,141 physical "Power Nodes" enterprise-grade AI servers that function as personal private data centers—rather than software running on generic user devices. Collectively, this mesh forms a distributed private cloud designed to shift the industry paradigm from "renting" intelligence to an "Own, Run, Earn" economy, where professionals own the physical machinery that powers the network.

Data Sovereignty via Local "Cabinets" Unlike older models that distribute data across a mesh or IPFS, PAI3 utilizes "Cabinets" secure, encrypted storage vaults located physically on the user's Power Node. The network operates on a strict "Local Inference" architecture: AI agents come to the data within these cabinets to execute tasks, ensuring that sensitive information (such as medical records or legal files) never leaves the user's physical custody or crosses the network. This design ensures HIPAA, GDPR, and TAA compliance by default, solving critical liability issues for regulated industries.

Strategic Decentralization and the DIM The network is powered by the Decentralized Inference Machine (DIM), a proprietary "EVM for secure AI inference" that orchestrates workloads. PAI3 employs "Strategic Decentralization," where blockchain is used strictly for transparent governance, rewards, and identity verification, while the actual AI computation runs off-chain on local hardware to ensure high performance without the latency of consensus mechanisms.

Incentivized Participation Instead of simple resource leasing, node operators participate in a comprehensive economic model where they earn revenue through:

• Guaranteed Rewards: 150,000 PAI3 tokens vested over three years.

• Inference Mining: Fees earned when the node processes AI workloads for the network.

Cabinet Leasing: Renting secure storage space to professionals (via Professional Nodes) who need compliant data hosting but do not own a physical node.
