Getting Started

Learn the basics of W3A Network and start your decentralized AI journey

What is W3A Network?

W3A is a decentralized AI infrastructure network built by global nodes. Through RWA (Real World Assets) certification mechanism, it transforms compute power, models, and data into verifiable smart assets. **Core Mission**: Return AI productivity to the masses, enabling every contribution of compute, models, and data to be certified on-chain and share value. **Core Principles**: - **Co-build**: Every participant is a network builder - **Co-govern**: Decentralized governance through DAO mechanism - **Co-share**: Network value distributed transparently by contribution

Four Participant Roles

**1. Compute Providers** Connect your GPU devices to the network and earn continuous rewards. Devices are certified as Compute NFTs. **2. AI Developers** Develop AI models and applications with copyright protection. Earn revenue share every time your model is used. **3. Data Contributors** Provide training data or creative content and receive Data Asset Certificates. **4. Regular Users** Use AI services while becoming network co-builders, enjoying low-cost services and network growth dividends.

Quick Start Steps

**Step 1: Create Account** Visit W3A Network platform, connect your wallet or create a new account. **Step 2: Explore Dashboard** Familiarize yourself with the dashboard, check network status, your points and earnings. **Step 3: Choose Participation Method** - If you have GPU devices → Go to "Node Management" to deploy compute nodes - If you're a developer → Go to "Task Marketplace" to accept development tasks - If you're a regular user → Use AI services directly and earn point rewards **Step 4: Start Earning Points** Complete tasks, contribute compute, or use services to earn W3A points.

RWA Certification Mechanism

RWA (Real World Assets) certification is W3A's core innovation, mapping real-world assets to verifiable on-chain digital assets. **Three RWA Types**: | Type | Description | Certificate | |------|-------------|-------------| | Compute RWA | GPU device certification | Compute NFT | | Model RWA | AI model copyright | Model Revenue Certificate | | Data RWA | Data usage rights | Data Asset Certificate | **Value Loop**: Real Assets → On-chain Certification → Generate Revenue → Revenue Distribution → Asset Trading → Value Growth

$W3A Token

$W3A is the native token of W3A Network, with a total supply of 1 billion. **Token Functions**: - **Incentive**: Rewards for nodes, developers, and data contributors - **Governance**: Token holders can participate in DAO proposals and voting - **Settlement**: Used for AI service calls and task payments - **Staking**: Nodes need to stake tokens to participate in network consensus **Token Distribution**: - Community Incentives: 40% - Ecosystem Development Fund: 25% - Team & Advisors: 20% - Early Investors: 10% - Liquidity Reserve: 5%
